Review generation and reputation for a carpet cleaning company
The median company in this trade has 12 reviews and 45.1% sit under ten. That is the whole opportunity. You do not need a hundred reviews to look established, you need thirty when your neighbors have nine, and thirty is roughly one a week for seven months.
Rating alone will not separate you, because 53.8% of the trade shows a perfect 5.0, usually on a handful of reviews. Volume and recency are what a homeowner reads as safe. A 4.8 with 90 reviews beats a 5.0 with four every time.
Carpet cleaning has an advantage no other trade has: the customer can see the result before you leave. That damp walk-through at the end of the job, standing on the clean carpet, is the highest-yield moment in the business for an ask, and most owners walk past it to the invoice. The reviews guide has the wording.
Two weeks in you should be able to name your review velocity per week and per tech.
