Send one link when you finish. Every customer sees the same screen whatever they rate you: post it on Google, or send you a private note. Asking all of them is what moves the number.

Nothing to migrate and nothing to rip out. The link goes into the follow up message you already send.
The work is getting one link in front of every customer, every time. After that it runs on its own.
Your business name and an email address. We never ask for a credit card to start the trial.
Type your business name and pick it from the list. If it does not appear, paste the link customers use to review you on Google.
Add it to the text or email you already send after a job. Print the QR code on the card you leave behind.
Nothing to set up, no training call, and no new inbox to check every morning.
They open the link on their own phone and tap a star. Whatever they tap, they get the same two choices: post it on Google, or send the note privately to you.
Paste it into the text you already send after a job. Print the code on the card you leave behind. The link never changes, so a card printed today still works next year, even if you rename the business or move.
Your link never changes, even if you rename the business or move. Cards you printed last year keep working.
A low rating emails you within the minute, with what they wrote and any contact details they left. Call them while your cleaners are still in the area.
Crew missed the master bathroom entirely and the kitchen floor was still sticky when I got home. Everything else was fine and the team were polite. I would rather tell you than post it, but I do not want to pay full price for a half clean.
Ratings of every size land here. A low one also emails you the moment it arrives.
A slider of your Google reviews for your website, a rating badge that updates itself, an image of your rating to post, and a page showing every review. All from the reviews you already have. Every one shows every review, newest first, because a hand picked selection is exactly what the FTC rule covers.
Everyone who cleans for you gets their own code on their phone. They show it as they finish, the customer scans it with their own camera, and the rating lands against the person who did the job.
When you finish, ask if they would leave a review.
Press the blue button and turn the phone to face them.

Your average rating, how many customers went on to Google, and every complaint, broken out by location. The two numbers worth checking between jobs come first.
These are the stars tapped on your link, not your Google rating. Boulder collects nearly as many and fewer reach Google, which is an asking problem rather than a cleaning one, and the one you can fix this week.
In April 2026 Google banned asking only your happy customers for a review. Businesses that still do it are losing reviews. We built RateYourCleaner around the new rules, so every customer gets the same ask.
A one star customer and a five star customer see exactly the same screen, with the same two options.There is no setting that changes this, on any plan.
You write the wording on the screen your link opens. Offer $20 off for five stars and it won't save.We show you the rule it breaks, before anyone sees it.
Forty reviews in a week after a quiet month looks bought to Google, even when every one is real.You hear it from us first.
Every setting you change is dated and saved.Show anyone exactly how your reviews were collected.
Asking everyone is also how you get the most reviews. Most businesses lose more by forgetting to ask than by asking the wrong people.
This is the same check that runs inside the product, on your customer page wording and on everything else you write. Nothing you paste is stored, and it runs in your browser.
The rules it checks against appear here as it works through them.
Straight answer: that extra tap costs you a few people who would have posted right away. Anyone who tells you a middle page converts better is selling you something. Here is the trade.
That is the whole cost. We are not going to pretend it is zero.
In a test on 300 customers, asking for honest feedback beat asking for five stars by about half again.Asking straight is not the polite option. It is the one that works.
The big platforms are built for a fifty location dental group. At that size the breadth is worth paying for. Run one location or three, and you're buying a webchat widget and a social scheduler so that one link can go out after a job.
| Tool | Typical cost | Built for | What you get for it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Podium | $399/mo | Chains that live in a texting inbox | Texting, webchat, payments, shared inbox |
| Birdeye | $299/mo | Franchises and large chains | Listings, surveys, social posting, AI replies |
| NiceJob | $75/mo | Single location home service firms | Automated campaigns, monitoring, website widget |
| RateYourCleaner | $14.99/mo | Cleaning companies, one to five locations | More Google reviews, complaints by email, rating per location |
Published rates as of August 2026. Podium and Birdeye quote per location, so your number may differ. The honest version: if you need an inbox and payments, buy Podium. If you need the review link done properly and nothing else, this is the whole product.
Month to month. No setup fee, no per location surcharge, no contract.
Both plans start with 14 days of Pro, free. You get every feature while you try it, including a code for every cleaner, so you can find out which plan you actually need before you pay for one. No card up front.
The link, the QR code, the inbox and the numbers the link produces. Everything you need to start collecting reviews.
Everything in Starter, plus how people find you on Google, what your listing is missing, what your reviews are worth, and your reviews working on your website. Less than one lost job a month.
Most businesses only ask a handful of customers, usually the ones they happen to remember. This puts the same link at the end of every job, inside the message you already send, so asking no longer depends on anyone remembering to do it.
Nothing, and nothing should. What changes is that you hear about a bad job the same hour instead of finding it on your Google listing a week later. You get a chance to fix it first. A business with nothing but five stars reads as fake anyway.
No, and that's deliberate. You paste the link into the tool that already messages your customers, which is why this costs $14.99 a month instead of seventy five or four hundred. Ready made wording for text, email, invoices and cards is included, and the only message we send is the alert to you when a rating comes in low.
Google at launch, since it carries the large majority of local reviews and it's the one that moves local search. Other platforms are built and will be switched on as they earn their place.
Yes, and with anything else that sends a message. It is just a web address, so it drops into a message template, an automated follow up, the bottom of an invoice or a printed card. There is nothing to connect and nothing to move over.
No, and the app won't let you write it. Offering anything of value in exchange breaches Google policy and the FTC rule, whichever way the review turns out.
No, and it can't be turned into it. Review gating means only showing the Google link to customers who rated you well. Here, one star and five star customers land on exactly the same screen with the same two options, and there is no setting anywhere that changes it.
Your sign in still works and nothing is deleted. The dashboard locks behind a plan, but your link and printed QR codes keep collecting for another 30 days, and everything they collect is waiting when you come back.
No. The 14 day trial takes an email address and nothing else, and it's full Pro access rather than a cut down version.
Yes, from the same billing screen you started on, and it stops future charges immediately. There is no annual contract, no setup fee and no cancellation call.
No. Starter covers one location at $14.99 and Pro covers five at $29.99. The big platforms quote per location, which is where their bill goes from expensive to eye watering.
Get in touch before you sign up. Six or more needs a conversation about pricing rather than a plan you outgrow in a month.
It stays in the account and you can export every rating and note to a spreadsheet, including while the account is locked. Your own customer feedback isn't something we hold over you.
14 days, no card. If it has not paid for itself by then, cancel from the same screen.
