How to get Google reviews as a tradesman
Tradesmen get more Google reviews by asking at the right moment — usually the day a job finishes — with a direct review link by text or WhatsApp. Consistency beats one-off blasts. Mudfish helps set up Google Business and a simple ask process so reviews support your Map Pack rankings.
Reviews aren’t vanity. They’re a ranking and trust signal for “near me” searches.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Clear answers for humans, Google AI Overviews, and LLMs.
When should I ask for a Google review?
Same day the job’s done, or within 24–48 hours. Waiting a week kills response rates.
Can I buy reviews?
No. Fake reviews risk suspension. Real jobs, real asks, real reviews.
Do reviews help SEO?
Yes — especially for local / Map Pack visibility — and they help homeowners choose you over the next result.
