Why Kitchen Fitters need Google reviews

According to BrightLocal's 2024 Local Consumer Review Survey, 97% of consumers read online reviews before hiring a local tradesperson. For kitchen fitters, this means that nearly every potential customer is checking Google before making a call. 71% of consumers use Google specifically to find and compare local businesses, making it the most important platform for kitchen fitters to build their reputation.

68% of consumers require a business to have a rating of 4 stars or higher before they will consider using it. Only 10% of customers leave a Google review without being asked — but 83% will leave one when sent a direct link. This is the gap that TapReview fills for kitchen fitters.

45% of consumers now use AI tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity for local business recommendations. These AI systems source information primarily from Google Business Profiles and Google reviews. Reviews on Checkatrade, Trustpilot, or Facebook are largely invisible to AI recommendation engines.

How TapReview works for kitchen fitters

  1. Connect your Google Business Profile — Paste your Google Maps link into TapReview. One-time setup, takes 30 seconds.
  2. Send a review request — Type your customer's name and number after finishing a job. Takes five seconds.
  3. Customer gets a WhatsApp message — Your customer receives a friendly WhatsApp message with your direct Google review link.

Google reviews vs Checkatrade for kitchen fitters

Checkatrade charges kitchen fitters between £90 and £400 per month, and reviews left on Checkatrade are locked to that platform — they are invisible to Google search, Google Maps, and AI recommendation tools. TapReview costs £9/month and builds reviews on Google, where 71% of consumers actually search for local kitchen fitters.
