Asked at completion
The request goes out when the job is signed off and the client is standing in their new room. Fewer jobs than a plumber, so each one counts, and none is missed.
Builders and building contractors
An extension or a loft conversion is the biggest thing most people ever buy from a local business, and they research it like one. Modern Playbook asks every client for a Google review when the job completes, replies to every review, and builds the pages that rank you for the projects people search for in your area.
Why it matters
Photos show the finished extension; reviews show what it was like to live through the build. Homeowners read them for the things they fear: overruns, mess, disappearing for a fortnight. A builder with recent, detailed reviews that mention timekeeping and tidiness wins the tender before the quote is opened. Long jobs mean fewer completions, so every one of them has to be asked.

You have years of finished projects. Those clients are asked gradually from week one, so your review count starts moving before the next job completes.
"House extension builders [town]", "loft conversion", "kitchen renovation": separate searches, separate pages, each with the questions clients ask answered up front.
What customers search
These are the kinds of searches a builder's customers make, and each one is a different moment of intent: an emergency, a planned job, or a check on a name they have already heard. We build your Google Business Profile and a page for each search that matters in your area, so you appear for all of them rather than only for your own business name.
How it works
Jobs reach the system in one of two ways: linked to your booking calendar or job software so every completed job goes in automatically, or logged with a ten-second form on your phone. From there the request, the reminders and the AI replies run on their own, and you see your new reviews, your rating and your local competitors in one report every month.
You mark it complete, or it comes in from your project software. Enquiries and quotes are never asked.
A couple of hours later, in your company's name, by text, email or WhatsApp, with a link to your Google review box. Gentle nudges over eight days, then it stops.
Four and five stars are answered within hours by AI in your voice. Three stars or below, you are alerted and approve a drafted reply.
Recent reviews, a complete profile and project pages move you up for the searches that bring tenders. The monthly report shows what moved.
What it costs
Review Growth is £297 a month: your profile set up for reviews, past customers and every new job asked automatically, AI replies to every review, a live reviews widget and a monthly report. Complete Growth is £597 a month and adds local SEO and AI search. Both are month to month, with no setup fee and no exit fee, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on reviews.
Before you book
More so, because you cannot afford to miss any of them. The system also asks your past clients first, which is where most builders have years of unrequested reviews waiting.
You can mark a milestone as a completed job if you want to, for example at first fix on a long build. Most builders ask once, at sign-off, when the client is happiest.
You are alerted the moment a low review lands, with a calm, specific reply drafted for approval. Fix what you can with the client first; the reply then reassures the next reader.
Yes. They are different searches with different budgets and different questions, and a page that answers each one directly ranks better than a general building page.
