Overview
Automated review requests fire after every completed job and link customers directly to your GBP review form — no manual texting or awkward asks
Customer tracking page on Growth displays a Google review prompt the instant job status flips to complete — catching the customer at peak satisfaction when conversion rates are 3–4× higher
Review request volume tracked inside ScaleYourJunk's marketing dashboard so you know exactly how many outbound asks went out per week, per truck, per crew lead
Consistent review velocity — sending requests after every single job builds the steady cadence Google's local algorithm rewards over sporadic bursts of five-star reviews
SMS delivery on Growth hits 98% open rates compared to 20–25% for email, meaning your best review-generation channel activates automatically without your crew doing anything
ScaleYourJunk does not manage your GBP listing — you still control business hours, photos, posts, Q&A, and service-area settings through Google's own dashboard
ScaleYourJunk does not post updates or photos to your Google Business Profile — all content publishing happens inside Google directly, not through ScaleYourJunk
This is not a review management or reputation monitoring platform — ScaleYourJunk drives outbound review requests but does not aggregate, respond to, or analyze incoming reviews

Review Request Links
After a job is marked complete by the crew or dispatcher, ScaleYourJunk fires an email (Starter + Growth) or SMS (Growth only) to the customer containing a one-tap link directly to your Google Business Profile review form. The message personalizes with the customer's first name and your company name.

infoIf the customer does not have a Google account, tapping the link prompts a Google sign-in screen first. About 8–12% of customers drop off here. SMS delivery requires the Growth plan — Starter has zero SMS sends.
Tracking Page Review Prompt
On the Growth plan, the customer tracking page automatically updates to a 'complete' state when the crew marks the job done. At that moment, a prominent Google review prompt with a direct link to your GBP listing appears above the fold. This catches customers right when satisfaction is highest — typically within minutes of the truck pulling away.

infoThe review prompt only renders after job status flips to 'complete.' If the crew forgets to mark the job done in ScaleYourJunk, the tracking page stays on 'in progress' and the review prompt never appears. Train crews to mark complete before leaving the driveway — this one habit alone can increase review volume 30–40%.
Review Request Timing Configuration
You control when review requests fire after job completion. Options are immediate, one hour delay, or next morning at 9 AM local time. Immediate sends convert best for residential — the customer just watched your crew clear their garage and they are still feeling the relief. Next-morning sends work better for commercial jobs where the site contact may not check messages until the following business day.

infoIf a job completes after 9 PM and you have 'next morning' selected, the request queues for 9 AM the following day. If you use 'immediate' for a late-night job, the customer gets a text at 10 PM — which can feel intrusive. Most operators set next-morning for any job completed after 7 PM.
Setup Steps
Connect in ~10 minutes. Here's exactly what to do.
checklistBefore You Start
check_circleClaim and verify your Google Business Profile at business.google.com — verification typically takes 3–7 days via postcard or phone, so do this well before you need reviews flowing
check_circleEnsure your business name, address, phone number, and service area are accurate on your GBP listing — inconsistent NAP data across directories tanks your local ranking
check_circleChoose your primary GBP category as 'Junk Removal Service' and add secondary categories like 'Hauling Service' and 'Demolition Contractor' if applicable — category selection directly impacts which searches show your listing
check_circleUpload at least 10 high-quality photos to your GBP listing — businesses with 100+ photos get 520% more calls than average according to Google's own data, and profiles with zero photos get almost no clicks
Find your GBP review link
Log into business.google.com. Click your listing, then go to 'Home' and find the 'Get more reviews' card — or navigate to 'Ask for reviews' in the left sidebar. Copy the short link Google provides. This specific URL bypasses your listing page and drops the customer directly into the review form with the star-rating selector visible.
warningCommon mistake: Do not paste your general GBP URL (google.com/maps/place/YourBusiness) — that takes customers to your full listing where they have to find and click the review button themselves. Every extra click costs you roughly 40–50% of potential reviewers. Use the dedicated review link that goes straight to the form.
Paste the link into ScaleYourJunk
In ScaleYourJunk, navigate to Settings → Integrations → Google Business Profile. Paste your review link in the URL field. ScaleYourJunk validates the link format in real time — if you see a green checkmark, the link is correctly formatted. If you see a red warning, double-check that you copied the full URL including the 'g.page' domain.
warningCommon mistake: One common mistake: operators with multiple GBP listings (different cities or DBAs) paste the wrong location's review link. If you run trucks in Dallas and Fort Worth under separate GBP listings, make sure you are using the correct location. Every review going to the wrong listing is a review your primary market never sees.
Configure review request timing
Set when review requests send after job completion — immediately, one hour later, or next morning at 9 AM. Choose email only (Starter and Growth) or email plus SMS (Growth only). Most operators see the highest conversion from immediate SMS on residential jobs and next-morning email on commercial. You can change this anytime without losing your review link configuration.
warningCommon mistake: Avoid setting a delay longer than 24 hours. Review conversion drops roughly 60% after the first day because the emotional high of a clean space fades fast. One operator in Tampa switched from next-day to immediate and saw review requests convert at 14% instead of 5% — that is almost triple the reviews from the same job volume.
Test the full flow end-to-end
Create a test job in ScaleYourJunk, assign it to yourself, and mark it complete. Verify the review request email arrives in your inbox within the expected time window. Click the link and confirm it opens your GBP review form — not your main listing, not a 404, not a competitor's profile. If you are on Growth, also check that the tracking page shows the review prompt after job completion.
warningCommon mistake: Skipping this test is how operators discover three weeks later that their review link was broken or pointed to the wrong business. One Phoenix operator ran 47 jobs before realizing his review link had a typo — that is potentially 5–7 lost Google reviews he will never recover.
Train your crews on the complete button
The entire review flow depends on your crew tapping 'Mark Complete' in the ScaleYourJunk driver portal before they leave the job site. Hold a five-minute huddle with every crew lead. Explain that marking complete triggers the review request, and reviews directly affect how many jobs come in next month. Make it part of the departure checklist: load truck, sweep site, take after photo, mark complete, drive to next job.
warningCommon mistake: If crews forget to mark jobs complete until the end of the day — or worse, the next morning — your review requests fire hours after the customer's emotional peak. An operator in Denver tracked this and found that jobs marked complete within 10 minutes of departure converted reviews at 12%, while jobs marked complete the next day converted at 3%.

Common Issues & Fixes
Symptom → Cause → Fix. Saves you a support ticket.
Symptom
Review request link opens the wrong business listing
Cause
Incorrect GBP review URL pasted during setup — common with multi-location operators
Fix
Log into business.google.com, select the correct location, copy the review link from 'Ask for reviews,' and update it in ScaleYourJunk Settings → Integrations → Google Business Profile.
Symptom
Customers say they never received a review request
Cause
Email landed in spam or customer phone number is missing on the job record
Fix
Check ScaleYourJunk's marketing dashboard for delivery status. For email, ask customers to check spam. For SMS on Growth, ensure a valid mobile number is on the job. Landlines cannot receive SMS.
Symptom
Review requests not sending after job completion
Cause
Crew did not mark the job as 'complete' in ScaleYourJunk — the trigger never fired
Fix
Open the job in ScaleYourJunk and check its status. If it still shows 'in progress' or 'scheduled,' mark it complete. Retrain crews to tap 'Mark Complete' before leaving the job site.
Symptom
Low review conversion rate despite consistent requests
Cause
Email-only delivery — open rates average 20–25% and only a fraction of openers click through
Fix
Upgrade to Growth for SMS review requests. SMS open rates hit 98% and review conversion typically jumps from 4–6% to 10–15%. Also switch timing to immediate-send for residential jobs.
