Review Automation
Review Automation is a SolidifyAI skill ($10/month) that asks your customers for a review at the perfect moment — automatically. When you mark a job completed, it texts the customer a friendly message with a one-tap link to your Google or Yelp listing about a day later, so you steadily build the reviews that win you the next job.
It runs through AutoFlow (so it respects opt-outs and quiet hours), which it turns on for you. Enable it from the Billing page under Skills; it then lives at Reviews in the sidebar.
Set it up
Three quick steps on the Reviews page:
- Add your listing — paste your Google Place ID (or your Google review link), and/or your Yelp business. We build the direct “write a review” link for you.
- Pick your platform — choose whether customers are sent to Google or Yelp.
- Turn it on — flip the switch. That installs and activates the “Ask for a review” sequence.
How it works
The moment a job reaches Completed, the customer is enrolled in a short sequence:
- One day later, they get a friendly text thanking them and asking for a quick review, with your review link and a “Reply STOP to opt out” line.
- It sends through AutoFlow, so it automatically honors opt-outs, quiet hours, and send limits.
- Click tracking — the review link is tracked, so you can see who tapped through.
Google or Yelp
You can set up either or both and choose which one customers are sent to.
- Google — recommended for most contractors. Google reviews carry the most weight for local search and the Map Pack.
- Yelp — supported, but note that Yelp discourages solicited reviews and may filter reviews that arrive right after a prompt. Use it knowing that caveat.
What it needs to send
Review requests are sent by text, so:
- The customer's contact needs a phone number, and they must be reachable by SMS (not opted out).
- Your business needs to have completed the one-time SMS consent & compliance attestation in Settings — AutoFlow holds all texts until that's done.
Tips
- Get your Google Place ID from Google's Place ID finder, or just paste your Google review link — either works.
- Complete the SMS consent attestation first, or the requests will sit paused.
- Mark jobs Completed promptly — that's the trigger, and the ask lands best while the work is fresh.
- Lead with Google unless you have a specific reason to send customers to Yelp.
