The jobs you’ve already done should be winning you the next ones.
Every happy customer is a Google review you never asked for. Daygent gives you one shared SMS inbox, already holding the numbers of everyone who called, so asking takes a tap instead of an awkward conversation.
One inbox for every conversation with a customer.
The call Daygent answered, the booking confirmation, the reminder and the review request all sit in the same thread. You can see what was said and when, and reply without leaving the page.
- ✓Numbers already there from answered calls
- ✓Your Google link in every message
- ✓One follow-up, then it leaves them alone
- ✓Shared across the whole team
“Answered the phone at half seven in the morning and had someone out by lunchtime. Explained the whole thing before touching anything. Couldn’t fault them.”
Your rating is doing the selling before you've said a word.
Local search rewards businesses that are visibly, recently used. Reviews are how you tell it that you are.
You're compared before you're contacted
Nobody rings three tradespeople any more. They open Maps, glance at the ratings, and phone one. That glance happens whether or not you've done anything to prepare for it.
The rating decides who gets rung
Between a 4.9 with two hundred reviews and a 4.6 with nine, the choice is made in about a second. Getting on that shortlist is cheaper than any advert you could buy.
Old reviews stop counting
A wall of five-star reviews from four years ago reads like a business that used to be good. A steady trickle of recent ones reads like a business people are still using.
It builds on itself
More reviews lift where you appear in local results, which brings more calls, which — if you keep asking — brings more reviews. It's the rare bit of marketing that gets easier.
From finished job to published review.
Four steps, three of which are done for you.
The job finishes
Daygent already has the number — it answered the call that booked the work, or you added the customer yourself. Nothing to import, no spreadsheet to keep current.
You send the ask
Pick the customer, tap send. The message goes out in your business's name with your Google review link in it, worded like a person rather than a marketing department.
They tap the link
It opens straight on your Google review form, already signed in on their phone. No searching for your business, no account to make — the step where most requests are lost.
Replies land in one inbox
Answers, questions and thank-yous all arrive in the same thread as everything else from that customer. You reply from the same box, on a laptop or your phone.
A texting inbox built for getting replies.
Not a bulk sender. One number, real conversations, and the review link where it belongs.
One thread per customer
The call that booked the job, the confirmation, the reminder and the review request sit in a single conversation. No jumping between apps to work out what was said.
Ask while it's fresh
Send the moment you leave, or queue it for the evening. People write reviews when the work is still on their mind, not a fortnight later.
Wording that gets replies
Start from a message that already reads well, then make it yours. Short, specific and human beats a formal request every time.
One gentle nudge
Most people mean to and forget. A single follow-up a few days later recovers a good share of them, and it stops there — nobody gets pestered.
The whole team, one number
Everyone works from the same inbox, so two people never text the same customer and nothing sits unanswered because someone assumed it was handled.
See what's actually working
Which requests were sent, opened and answered, so you can tell whether the wording or the timing is the thing that needs changing.
The three things everyone asks.
Isn't asking for reviews against Google's rules?
Asking is fine. What isn't allowed is filtering — only asking the customers you think are happy — or offering anything in return. Daygent sends the same request to whoever you choose, with no incentive attached and no survey deciding who gets it, which is exactly the way Google asks you to do it.
Won't customers find it annoying?
One text after a job that went well, and at most one reminder. It's the same ask you'd make on the doorstep if it didn't feel awkward — and unlike the doorstep, they can answer it whenever suits them.
What if someone leaves a bad one?
You'll see it, and you'll see it early. A negative review answered calmly and quickly reads better to the next customer than an unbroken wall of fives, which people have learned to distrust.
Answer every call, then turn it into a review.
