The Reputation Gap

Your next customer checks reviews before the phone rings.

93% of homeowners read reviews before choosing a contractor. If yours don't stack up, you lose the job before you ever get a shot to bid.

Without Hotshot

Where the trust leaks out.

  • Customers forget to leave reviews
    Only 1 in 25 happy customers reviews you on their own.
  • One bad review torches the page
    A single 1-star sinks you below competitors on Google maps.
  • Competitors outrank you
    Rivals with 200+ reviews soak up the lead share in your zip.
  • No follow-up system
    Your tech finishes the job — and nobody asks for the review.
  • Referrals go cold
    Word-of-mouth dies if there's no public proof to back it up.
With Hotshot

A reputation engine that runs itself.

  • Auto-request after every job
    SMS + email fires the moment a job is marked complete.
  • Smart funnel filters unhappy first
    Negative feedback routes private. Happy ones go to Google.
  • AI writes thoughtful replies
    Every review gets responded to in your tone, in seconds.
  • Reputation dashboard
    Track stars, sentiment, and competitors in one place.
  • QR cards + smart links
    Tap-to-review for jobsite handoff, invoices, signage.
How It Works

Four steps. Zero chasing.

Plug Hotshot into your CRM or invoicing tool. We do the rest — from job complete to 5-star post.

Step 01

Job complete

Your tech marks the work done. Hotshot pulls the customer's name and number from your CRM.

Step 02

AI sends the ask

A friendly SMS goes out within 2 hours — peak conversion window. Email follows if no tap.

Step 03

Happy → Google

5-star customers are routed straight to Google. Anything under 4 stars opens a private channel — saved before it goes public.

Step 04

More calls, more jobs

Your map rank climbs, your phone rings more, your close rate jumps. The flywheel pays for itself by month 1.

The Hotshot Dashboard

Your reputation, on one screen.

Live ratings. Live sentiment. Live competitor lift. Every signal that drives jobs in one calm view.
