Google Reviews for Hastings Builders

Why good builders look invisible on Maps

A kitchen, an extension or a new build is the highest trust search a homeowner makes. They are not comparing star averages. They are reading what people said about communication, about whether the site got tidied, about whether the price at the end matched the price at the start.

Four reviews from this year that name the job beat ten glowing ones from 2022. The old ones do not describe the crew you have now, and the client reading them knows it.

The problem is structural, not effort. A sparky does forty jobs a month and has forty chances to ask. You might do six builds a year. Every one you miss is a big hole in a small profile.

How it works across a long job

You pick the moment. It is not a random Friday blast to everyone on the list.

I connect your Google Business Profile

About 15 minutes on a free call. You need the Google login and nothing else.

You approve one message

You write it with me, so it reads like the way you actually talk to a client.

You pick the trigger, not me

After a completed stage, after practical completion, or once the final invoice is settled. On a long build you can ask once at a milestone the client felt good about.

Unhappy customers reach you first

A grievance off the snag list reaches you privately, not the listing, while the scaffolding is still up.

Everyone gets asked, including the client who argued about a variation. Filtering for the generous ones is what breaches Google's review policies.

What builders ask

I finish a handful of jobs a year. Is 50 a month overkill?

Starter is your plan and you will not go near the limit. The value is that the few you do finish actually get asked, instead of being remembered three weeks late.

When do I ask on a six month build?

Usually just after a stage the client is visibly pleased with, rather than at handover when they are focused on the snag list. We work that out on the call.

What about subcontractors?

The request goes to your client, under your business name. If you are working as a sub, the builder who engaged you is the contact.

What if a job went badly?

You get the private alert first. If it does go public, a calm and specific reply from you is read by every future client who scrolls past it.
