More 5-star reviews for your roofing business

Just finished a roof repair? Replaced some tiles? One tap sends your customer a WhatsApp message with your Google review link.

Why Roofers need Google reviews

According to BrightLocal's 2024 Local Consumer Review Survey, 97% of consumers read online reviews before hiring a local tradesperson. For roofers, 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 roofers 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 roofers.

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 roofers

  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.

TapReview also sends automatic follow-up messages 3 days after the initial request if the customer hasn't left a review, and weekly nudges remind roofers to submit new customers.

Google reviews vs Checkatrade for roofers

Checkatrade charges roofers 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 roofers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Google reviews important for roofers?

Roofing is a trade where trust is everything — customers can't see the work being done and the costs are high. Strong Google reviews reassure them.

How do roofers get more Google reviews?

Send a review request right after finishing the job. TapReview lets you do this in five seconds.

Customers don't always see the finished roof — will they still leave a review?

Yes. Customers review the full experience — were you on time, professional, tidy, fairly priced?

How many reviews should a roofing company have?

Most local roofers have very few reviews — often under 10. Getting to 25-35 makes you the obvious choice.
