For builders and roofers
Homeowners spending serious money on an extension or a new roof check you out first. LocalQuiver builds the proof they look for: Google and Checkatrade reviews asked for after every job, a website full of your finished work, and a Google profile kept up to date. We set it up; you stay on the tools.
On your website
Kept us updated every step of our loft conversion.
Quality work, and they cleaned up after themselves.
Sound familiar?
Every quote is a job interview
Homeowners get three quotes for anything big, and the cheapest isn’t always who they pick. They choose the firm whose reviews, photos and website make them feel safe handing over the house keys for six weeks.
Reviews arrive months late, if at all
A loft conversion can run for weeks, and by the time the last skip leaves, nobody remembers to ask. Happy clients fully mean to write something kind. Then life gets in the way and the moment quietly passes.
Your best work lives on your phone
Years of before-and-after photos sit in your camera roll while your website still shows a job from ages ago. Nobody sees the kitchens, the slate roofs or the brick-matched extensions that would win you the next one.

0:04LocalQuiver, for trades.
0:07Here's how we help plumbers, electricians, builders and garages win more work.
0:13You do great work, and your customers are delighted. But in the rush to the next job, nobody asks for a review.
0:21Meanwhile, the next homeowner is comparing firms on Google and Checkatrade. They search for a plumber near me, and Google shows three at the top. The map pack.
0:31Google picks those three on relevance, distance and prominence. You can't change where you're based. But reviews feed prominence, and those, you can grow.
0:42So we make sure every job gets asked.
0:45After each job, a friendly text goes out in your business name. If they forget, up to two gentle follow-ups do the reminding.
0:53Face to face, it's even quicker. Our tap cards, or a QR code on the van, the invoice, or the garage counter.
1:01Each one opens your own branded review page. Google first, with Checkatrade, Trustpilot and Facebook a tap away.
1:09Then our Review Agent replies to your Google reviews, in your tone, picking up on what each customer actually said.
1:17Need a website? We'll build one that shows off your work, with an enquiry form that takes photos. So customers can show you the problem before you set off.
1:26Our Search Agent writes helpful local articles as you, every three days, answering what people nearby are searching for.
1:33And every month, the rank map shows where you appear on Google Maps, point by point across your area.
1:40Invoicing's built in, too. Send a branded invoice by text or email before you leave the drive, with your bank details under the total.
1:48Sending it can add the customer to your contacts. And with automatic requests on, the review request follows on your usual timing.
1:56Then, on the first of every month, a clear report is waiting in your dashboard. Your reviews, your rating, where you rank, and what to focus on next.
2:08We set it all up. You stay on the tools.
2:15More reviews. More trust. A fuller diary.
2:22LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

A week with LocalQuiver
Handover day
The review request goes out
As you hand back a finished extension, a friendly text in your firm’s name asks the client for a Google or Checkatrade review. If they’re busy moving back in, a gentle follow-up comes later, then stops once they tap through.
Review management for builders and roofersTimeline startsStage payment due
A branded invoice, sent from the van
The roof is watertight and the next stage is due, so you send a tidy invoice by email or text with your bank details under the total. You see when the client opens it, and mark it paid when the transfer lands.
Invoices for builders and roofersAfter a storm
Emergency repairs added to your Google listing
High winds mean the phone is about to ring. Add roof repairs and storm damage to your services and set special hours for the weekend, all on one screen, checked old against new, and pushed to Google.
Google Business Profile for builders and roofersEvery three days
A new article lands on your blog
The Search Agent writes a helpful local piece, perhaps what planning rules mean for a rear extension or how to spot a slipped slate, written as your firm and naming the services and area you cover.

This week’s best review becomes a post

Questions
Yes. Paste the public link to your Checkatrade page and those reviews are read into your inbox once a day, next to Google, Facebook and Trustpilot. Checkatrade can sit on your review page too. Replies post automatically on Google only, so for Checkatrade the app writes a draft and you paste it in yourself.
Word of mouth is exactly why it matters. When a neighbour passes on your name, the homeowner still searches for you before they ring. What they find, your recent reviews, your photos and an accurate Google listing, decides whether that recommendation turns into a phone call.
Yes, and they should. Your website pulls in your Google photos, and we place your own before-and-after shots in each service page’s gallery, so loft conversions sit on the loft page and roofs on the roofing page. Real photos of real jobs beat stock images every time a homeowner compares firms.
LocalQuiver can connect your job or booking software via Zapier, so a finished job adds the client to your contacts and the review request follows on your timing. LocalQuiver handles that link for you. Without it, clients can be added by hand or imported from a spreadsheet.
Nobody can honestly promise a number of jobs. What changes is what a homeowner finds when they look you up: more recent reviews, a website showing your own work and a Google profile with the right services. That gives you a better chance when they’re weighing up three quotes.
Very little. We connect your Google listing, build your website and review page, and set up your request timing and the agents. A few things wait for your approval by default, such as the card designs used for review posts, so you stay in control of how your firm looks.
