When the Reviews app is enabled, an email and text message will be automatically sent to your customer asking for a review. This is a great way to improve your service and develop testimonials.

You can turn on the Reviews app from the app store. 

  • Once you've enabled Reviews, access the app page by clicking 'My Apps' on the top right side of your HCP account.

  • Select 'Reviews'

  • If you haven't hooked up your Facebook or Google accounts yet, just click the icon to get those site connected

  • Click the 'Settings' icon (gear in the upper right corner). 


On the 'Settings' panel, you can:

  • Exclude customers from receiving a request for a review based on customer or job tags

  • Allow review review requests to send to customers who have notifications turned off for their profile 

  • Turn on/off your Google My Business account or Facebook account

  • Determine which reviews automatically appear on your reviews page or Website by Housecall Pro.

  • Get access to your reviews page

If I have more than one employee on a job, who does that review count for?
