For plumbers & heating engineers
When a boiler packs up in January, people search, compare the stars and ring whoever looks most trusted. LocalQuiver gets you more Google and Checkatrade reviews, keeps your Google profile right, builds your website and sends branded invoices from the van, so you’re in the running for the bigger jobs too.

Sound familiar?
Busy, but losing the installs
Your week is full of call-outs, yet the new boiler and the bathroom refit go to the firm with more reviews. Someone spending thousands reads the stars first, and a few old reviews can’t compete with a page of recent ones.
Happy customers forget to review
They were delighted when the hot water came back. Then the kettle went on and life moved on. Asking at the door feels awkward, the follow-up text never gets sent, and a job well done leaves no trace online.
The admin waits until dark
Invoices written up at the kitchen table, Google hours still showing last Christmas, a website nobody has touched since the van was new. It all affects who rings you, and none of it gets done between jobs.

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
Monday, 7am
A cold house and a quick search
A family wakes up to no heating and searches for a boiler repair. Your Google profile shows the right hours, your services and a run of recent reviews, which gives them a good reason to ring you first.
Google Business Profile for plumbersTimeline startsAfter every job
A thank-you text asks for a review
When the job is done, a short text in your business name thanks the customer and links to your review page, Google first and Checkatrade a tap away. If they don’t get round to it, a gentle follow-up does the reminding.
Review management for plumbersBack in the van
The invoice goes before you drive off
Add the parts and labour, send a branded invoice by text or email, and your bank details sit neatly under the total. The customer lands in your contacts at the same moment, with nothing extra to type.
Invoices for plumbersEvery three days
A new article answers a local question
The Search Agent writes about what people nearby type into Google, from a boiler losing pressure to a stopcock that won’t turn, and publishes it to your website as you, naming your services and area.

A landlord’s five stars get a reply
A landlord leaves five stars after a gas safety check. The Review Agent thanks them on Google in your tone, picking up on what they actually said, and posts during the hours you allow, usually within the hour.

Questions
No, it works alongside it. Your review page can send customers to Checkatrade as well as Google, and Checkatrade reviews land in the same inbox. The rest covers the places Checkatrade doesn’t reach: your Google profile, your own website, local articles and your invoices.
Nobody can promise that. What changes is the picture a homeowner sees when they’re about to spend thousands: more recent reviews, a Google profile that’s accurate, and a website that explains the work. Search improvements take months, not days, so it’s a steady build rather than a switch.
Very little once it’s running, because LocalQuiver sets it all up. Review requests, Google review replies, articles and the monthly map scan carry on by themselves. Some parts wait for your approval by default, and invoicing is the bit you do yourself, in about a minute a job.
You can say so in your Google description, on your website and in your articles, so anyone looking for it can see it. LocalQuiver doesn’t check or verify registrations. It simply makes sure the true things about your business are easy for customers to find.
LocalQuiver can connect your job software via Zapier, if your software supports it, so a finished job adds the customer to your contacts or sends a review request. We set that up for you. There’s no link to accounting packages, and nothing connects on its own.
It shows on Google like any other review, and every customer sees the same public review buttons. Customers can also choose to tell you something privately, as an extra option that never replaces the public ones. Lower-rated Google reviews wait for you with a draft reply, so you decide what to say.
