Picture this

Two Businesses. Same Skills.
Very Different Phones.

It’s a Tuesday night. A pipe has let go under somebody’s kitchen sink and they’re standing in two centimetres of water with their phone in their hand. They don’t know a plumber. So they do what everyone does now. They type the problem into Google.

Two businesses come up. Same suburb. Same licence. Honestly, the same quality of work.

Example of a neglected Google Business profile with few reviews and outdated feedback
Business A

14 reviews.
The newest is from 7 months ago.
No owner replies.

Example of an optimized Google Business profile with many recent, highly-rated reviews and owner replies
Business B

187 reviews.
A dozen from this month.
The latest from yesterday.
Every review answered by the owner.

An illustration, not two real businesses.

Which one do they ring? You already know. And here’s the part that stings: Business A is very often the better tradie. They’re just so busy doing the work that nobody ever gets asked, and nobody gets a reply.

If nobody picks up, the caller goes to the next one. They never find out how good you were.

Now Imagine Searching for Your Own Trade… and Seeing Your Name Like That.

Sunday night. The kids are down and you finally sit still. Out of habit you open Google and search for your trade in your own suburb.

There you are, near the top of the map. A row of stars next to your name that makes you stand a little taller. Reviews from this week. Reviews from this month. Customers you’d almost forgotten, thanking you for the work. And under each one, a reply that sounds exactly like you.

You didn’t chase a single one. You didn’t write a single message. You didn’t pay for a single click.

Monday morning the phone rings, and the person on the other end has read what your customers say about you. That’s a very different kind of call. All that’s left is to turn up and do the thing you’re brilliant at.

What you get back
  • The end-of-a-long-day “I really should ask them for a review” guilt. Gone.
  • The spreadsheet of who you’ve asked and who you haven’t. Not your job any more.
  • Staring at a review at 9:40pm, wondering what on earth to say back.
  • Paying for clicks that land on a profile with six reviews.
  • Your evenings, to spend on the people and the work you actually love.
Why I built this

It’s Really About My Dad.

Raymond Kent
Founder, Scaling By AI
Adelaide, South Australia

“It’s another tool for the toolbox. This one looks after the business while they get on with the work they’re trained in.”

My dad was a plumber. So was his dad.

Dad worked seven till seven. And when the working day was finally over, he’d sit down and play back the messages on his answering machine tape. Then he’d have to ring back everyone who’d actually left one, only to find that plenty of them had already moved on to the next plumber. The job was gone. His time was wasted. And he’d done it all after a full day on the tools.

I almost followed him into the trade. Instead I went into sales, marketing and hospitality, then IT, always focused on the customer and what the experience of dealing with a business feels like. Different path. Same family.

Here’s what I noticed. Tradies are craftsmen. They take enormous pride in their work. But nobody ever showed them how to market a business, and why would they? It’s not what they signed up for. Meanwhile, not a lot has changed. People still ring the next guy if nobody answers. The only difference is that now it all happens on Google. They search for a fix, they see who comes up first, they call, and if there’s no answer they go to the next one.

What decides who comes up first? A big part of it is reviews. Lots of them. Recent ones. And ones that have been answered.

So I built what I wish my dad had. Close the job, or send the invoice, and the review request goes out. It gets followed up. And the reviews get answered. No tape. No late nights. No guilt.

I’ve got a real passion for helping people who are great at their trade, using the skills I picked up on the other side of it. If that’s you, I’d love to look after your reviews while you look after your customers.

74%

only care about reviews written in the last three months. Fresh beats a big pile from years ago.

From Google itself

Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, and that more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking. It also says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. In other words, the ranking is earned, and reviews are one of the things you can earn it with. Read Google’s explanation, or see Google Maps vs Google Ads for tradies.

Close the Job. We Do the Rest.

The Review Accelerator turns every finished job into a review request, a follow-up and (with the reply add-on) a reply.

We set it up with you

We write your message so it sounds like you, and we check it with you before a single request goes out. You’re never surprised by what’s sent in your name.

You close the job

On our hands-off plan we connect to your calendar or CRM, so finishing a job triggers the request on its own. Prefer to start simple? Upload your past customers from a spreadsheet.

We ask, follow up once, then stop

Each customer gets a friendly text or email from your business with your Google review link. If they haven’t got to it, one gentle nudge a few days later. Then we leave them alone.

Reviews land on your Google profile

Real reviews from your real customers, building a steady drip rather than one big burst. Day after day, week after week, whether you remember or not.

Not Another Login and a Wish.
Done For You.

You’ve got enough to look after. We treat your reputation the way you treat your work: carefully, and properly.

Typical do-it-yourself review tools
  • • You set up the campaigns
  • • You write the messages
  • • You remember to upload and send
  • • You work out what to say when a review is bad
  • • You find the time. Somehow.
The Scaling By AI way
  • We set it up with you, personally
  • We write your message and check it with you before anything is sent
  • On the hands-off plan, closing a job triggers the request
  • We follow up once, then leave your customer alone
  • Optional: every review answered, with anything negative drafted for your approval

Even the free challenge is capped at five businesses per weekly intake, because we’d rather do it properly for a few than do it badly for everyone.

Optional add-on

Then We Answer Every Review for You.

Asking is half of it. The other half is the reply, and that’s the bit that quietly never gets done. A review sits there for weeks with nobody home. It tells the next customer something, and it isn’t what you’d want it to say.

With AI Review Replies, a positive review gets a personal, on-brand answer automatically. When a review is negative, nothing goes out until you’ve seen a ready-to-send draft and said yes. So you stay in control of what’s said in your name, without having to find the words at the end of a long day.

Google recommends replying to reviews and says helpful replies show customers you’re responsive. Here’s exactly what Google says, with reply templates.

Real Reviews Only. Always.

Your reputation is the most valuable thing you own, so we protect it. That’s how Google says reviews should be asked for.

  • We only ask your real customers, the people on the list you give us. We never write, buy or fake a review.
  • Every customer gets the same request with your Google link, whatever they thought of the job. We never filter out unhappy customers, which is called review gating and which Google prohibits.
  • No discounts, gifts or rewards in exchange for reviews. Google doesn’t allow that either.
  • Every message names your business and gives your customer an easy way to opt out, as Australian spam law requires.

More Reviews Means More Calls. We’ve Got That Covered Too.

When your reviews start bringing in more enquiries, you’ll want every call and every website visitor looked after as well. That’s the natural next step, and only when you’re ready.

Answers every call in seconds, day or night, and books the job while you’re up a ladder or under a sink. Built from scratch around your business, never a template. You can hear it work, live.

An AI chatbot for your website

Turns the visitors your reviews bring in into enquiries and bookings, even at 2am, so none of that new traffic goes to waste.

Questions People Ask

Is the 14-Day Review Challenge really free?

Yes. It is 100% free, with no card and no contract. We ask your recent customers for a Google review on your behalf, and the aim is at least 5 new genuine reviews in 14 days. If you are under 5 after 14 days, we keep going for up to 14 more days, free, as long as you keep sending us your new customers. Every review is yours to keep, whatever you decide.

Do I need to be technical?

No. To start the challenge you send a photo of your job book or an export of your last 50 jobs, and we do the typing and the setup. We write your message with you and check it with you before anything is sent.

Will you stop unhappy customers from leaving a review?

No. Every customer we contact gets your Google review link, whatever their experience. Filtering who gets to review you is called review gating, and Google prohibits it. Customers who would rather tell you something privately can do that as well, so you get the chance to put things right.

Will this get me to number one on Google Maps?

Nobody can honestly promise that, and Google says there is no way to pay for a better local ranking. Google does say that more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking, alongside how relevant your profile is and how close you are to the searcher. We make the review side of that happen automatically, so it stops depending on you remembering.

What are AI Review Replies?

An optional add-on. Positive reviews get a personal, on-brand reply automatically. For anything negative, you get a ready-to-send draft first, so you stay in control of what is said in your name.

Does it work for my type of business?

It is built for local service businesses across Australia, such as plumbers, electricians, arborists and pest controllers. If your customers find you on Google and your work is good, it fits.

What happens after the challenge?

You choose. Keep going on a Review Accelerator plan, or walk away and owe nothing. Plans and pricing are on the Review Accelerator page.

Let Your Reputation Catch Up With Your Work.

Five businesses a week get done-for-you review requests, free. No card. No contract. Every review is yours to keep.
