The 30-day review challenge

Why reviews matter here

In our November 2026 test, the businesses Google AI Mode named for Denver questions were well reviewed and highly rated. That is what one engine showed in one small test, and it doesn't mean more reviews will get you named.

The rules

The law's, Google's and ours. Breaking them can get reviews removed or a listing suspended.

• The law. The FTC's Trade Regulation Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials, 16 CFR Part 465, bans fake or false reviews, buying reviews, and undisclosed reviews written by insiders. We follow it, and so should you.
• Ask everyone. Not just the customers you think are happy. Screening people before asking is called review gating, and Google doesn't allow it.
• No rewards. No discounts, gifts or entries into a draw for leaving a review. Google doesn't allow it.
• No writing your own. Not you, your staff, your family or anyone paid to.
• Answer all of them. Good, bad and in between, politely and fast.

What we hand you

• A short link that opens your review form directly.
• A printable card with a QR code to leave at the job.
• A text message written in your words, ready to send after each job.
• A weekly count of new reviews, and a drafted reply for each one.

How you'll know it worked

We note your review count and rating on day one, and compare on day 30. Whatever the numbers are, you see them.
