Subject: your business — more Google reviews Hi there, I came across your business on Google while looking at plumbers in your area. The work clearly gets done well, but on Google the plumbers with the most reviews are the ones showing up first in your area — and reviews are the main thing deciding that order. I run ProofLocal. It messages every customer after the job and gives everyone the same simple way to share honest feedback on Google, with a private feedback route too. Want me to set it up on your account free for 14 days? No card, and I'll do the setup myself so you don't have to touch anything. — prooflocal.app

Subject: Re: your business — more Google reviews Hi there, just bumping this in case it got buried. Happy to set the whole thing up for your business and show you the first reviews coming in — takes me about 10 minutes and costs you nothing for two weeks. Worth a quick look? —

Subject: Re: your business — more Google reviews Hi there, Last one from me. The top plumbers in your area on Google all sit well ahead of your business on review count, and that's what's putting them above you in the map results. If you want that gap closed, I'll run it free for 14 days and you can judge it purely on results. If it's not a priority right now, no problem — I'll leave you be. — prooflocal.app

Hey there — saw the work your business has been putting out, looks solid. Quick one: I help plumbers in your area get more Google reviews automatically after each job. Takes 10 minutes to set up and I'll run it free for two weeks. Want me to show you?

Say it out loud once before you dial.
Hi, is that there? — I'll be quick, 30 seconds. I set up automatic feedback requests for plumbers around your area. After you finish a job it texts or emails every customer, gives them the same Google link and keeps a private feedback route open too. I'm setting a few up free for two weeks. Can I put your business on it and send you the link?
