FIFTH STARLocal
Fifth Star Local. Google reviews for local trades.

Your work earns five stars. Your listing should prove it.

Every customer gets asked for a Google review after every job, so your listing earns the calls your work deserves. For tree services, landscapers, roofers and painters in southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley.

What I do

Every customer asked. Every job.

Most local trades have great customers and too few Google reviews. The work isn't the problem. The ask gets forgotten in the busy weeks.

Fifth Star Local makes the ask automatic. After each job, your customer gets a short, friendly request with a direct link to review you. More reviews, a stronger listing, and more calls from people searching in your town.

Why it matters

Same five stars. Fewer calls.

When a homeowner searches, Google shows a short list. Two companies can both have perfect ratings, and the one with more reviews looks like the safer pick and gets the call.

Tap the toggle to see what six months of steady asking does in a real town.

You don't need an ad budget. You need the ask to happen after every job, including the busy weeks.

From this month's listing checks

Great ratings. Too few reviews.

How it works

Three steps to your fifth star.

  1. 1

    Free listing report

    I pull your real numbers from Google Maps and set them beside the companies you compete with. One page, built by hand for your business. No charge, no obligation.

  2. 2

    Fifteen minute setup

    You add me as a manager on your Google listing, so I never need your password. We write the review request together, in your own voice.

  3. 3

    Every customer asked

    After each job your customer gets the request with a direct link. The first week of every month you get a one page update on your reviews and where you stand.

A real report with the names changed. Yours is free.

Why owners choose Fifth Star

Built for trades. Run by a local.

Every customer, never filtered

Everyone gets asked, not just the ones you expect to be happy. That's Google's rule, and it's the honest way to do it.

No password needed

You add me as a manager on your listing. You stay the owner and can remove me anytime.

Month to month

$197 a month with no contract. The first 30 days are free, and you can cancel before day 30 and pay nothing.

A one page update, monthly

New reviews, your total and rating, and where you stand next to the same competitors from your first report.

Your voice, not a robot's

The request reads like it came from you, because we write it together during setup.

John, owner of Fifth Star Local
JohnEast Hampstead, NH
Who you're working with

Local, and easy to reach.

I live in East Hampstead and grew up about ten minutes from here. I started Fifth Star Local because I kept seeing the same thing: good local trades losing calls to companies that simply ask for reviews more often.

Call or email me and you get me, not a call center.

Every customer gets asked, every time. I never filter out unhappy customers to protect a rating. Google doesn't allow it, and it isn't honest.
Where I work

Southern NH and the Merrimack Valley.

Your town not listed? If you're within about 40 minutes of East Hampstead, ask anyway.

Questions

What owners usually ask.

Do I have to change how I run jobs?

No. After setup, the review request goes out after each job. You keep doing the work.

Do you need my Google password?

No. Google lets you add someone as a manager on your listing. You stay the owner and can remove me anytime.

What if an unhappy customer leaves a bad review?

Everyone gets asked, so it can happen. When most of your customers are happy, the good reviews far outnumber the rare bad one, and I'll help you write a calm, professional reply.

Will it bother my customers?

It's one short, polite note with a direct link. Most people are glad to help a local business they liked.

What's in the monthly update?

One page, by email, the first week of every month: how many new Google reviews came in, your total and your rating, where you now stand next to the same competitors from your first report, and one thing worth doing next.

How does the free month work?

Your first 30 days are free. If it isn't worth it to you, cancel before day 30 and you pay nothing. After that it's $197 a month, month to month.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month. Cancel whenever you want.
