Get more 5-star reviews
Most customers are happy. They just forget to leave a review. 💔
Forest Stump automatically asks at the right time, follows up politely, and sends happy customers straight to Google — while protecting you from bad public reviews.
No awkward calls. No begging. No stress.
Why More Reviews Matter
Google's algorithm is watching. Here's what more 5-star reviews get you:
Higher in Local Map Pack
Google prioritizes businesses with recent, consistent reviews. More reviews = better map visibility = more visibility right when customers search for your services in your area.
Better Star Rating
A 4.9 star rating with 50 reviews beats a 5.0 with 2 reviews. Review volume signals trust to potential customers and proves you consistently deliver results.
More Inbound Calls
Customers trust reviews. Studies show businesses with 50+ reviews get 2-3x more calls than those with few or no reviews. More reviews = more jobs.
Better Search Rankings
Recent review activity tells Google your business is active and trusted. This boosts your local SEO and helps you rank higher for service area searches.
Reputation Protection
One bad review hurts less when you have dozens of good ones. A strong review profile builds credibility and buffers against occasional negative feedback.
Competitive Edge
Most contractors ignore reviews. Automated review generation puts you ahead of competition who aren't actively building their review base.
How It Works
Smart Filtering (The Important Bit)
Customers are first asked a simple question:
"How did we do?"
- 😊 → Sent directly to your Google review page
- 😕/😞 → Kept private so you can fix it before it goes public
You don't see bad reviews on Google. You get a chance to save the relationship instead.
Customer's Experience
How did we do?
Gentle Follow-Ups (That Don't Annoy People)
If they don't respond, Forest Stump sends a few polite reminders over the following days.
- No spam. No pressure.
- Just enough to jog their memory

More Reviews = More Visibility
Google cares about three things for local rankings:
- Review volume
- Review frequency
- Recent activity
Most businesses fail because reviews come in randomly — or stop entirely. Forest Stump fixes that.
By automatically requesting reviews after every job, your Google profile stays active, fresh, and consistent — which is exactly what Google wants to see.
More reviews over time → better local visibility → more inbound calls.
The Compounding Effect
Consistent reviews = Active business signal to Google
Better rankings in local search & map pack
More visibility = More qualified leads
