Google reviews for plumbers: ask when the job is done
Finish a call-out, get paid, ask for the Google review before you leave. ReviewPostie opens WhatsApp or your phone's texts with your message ready. Optional: connect Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks Online so a request can go out after a paid invoice. £29/month after a 14-day trial (20 requests, no card to start).
Why plumbers forget the ask
Van work, cash jobs, and the next job already ringing make it easy to drive off without asking.
Directory reviews stay on the directory. Google reviews travel with every search.
This page is product help. It is not a guarantee of more work.
A simple system that fits a plumbing day
- Save your Google review link once.
- Keep one short message ready.
- When the job is done, open WhatsApp or your own texts and send.
- For walk-ups or when you cannot text: show your QR (van, invoice, card).
- Optional: turn on paid-invoice automation if you invoice through Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks Online.
WhatsApp and your own phone
You check the message, then tap Send from your WhatsApp or number. That is the primary path.
The customer does not need a ReviewPostie account.
The paid plan includes unlimited WhatsApp and own-phone requests.
Postie Texts
The paid plan includes 200 Postie Text credits each month. Each automatic request or reminder uses one credit.
Postie Texts are a secondary option. This page is built around WhatsApp and your own phone.
Your usual mobile or data charges still apply when you send from WhatsApp or your own phone.
QR on the van or paperwork
The same reusable code works on the till, invoices, cards and the van.
Useful when the customer is standing there and you do not want to take a number.
Optional accounting
Connect once. When an eligible invoice is paid and it has a UK mobile, ReviewPostie can send a Postie Text using your saved message.
You choose the delay and sending hours. Pause any time.
You do not need accounting software to use WhatsApp, your own phone, or the QR code.
See opens in history
Sent requests and link opens sit in one place. An open is not a posted review. Google does not tell ReviewPostie whether the customer left one.
Pricing
The 14-day trial includes 20 requests shared across WhatsApp, your own phone and Postie Texts. No card to start.
Then £29/month, with the same inclusions as the homepage pricing block: unlimited WhatsApp and own-phone requests, 200 Postie Text credits, accounting connections, QR, history and CSV export.
Questions
Plain answers to the usual questions.
Do I need accounting software as a plumber?
No. Send from WhatsApp or your own phone and use your QR without connecting anything. Connect Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks Online only if you want automatic Postie Texts after eligible paid invoices.
Can I ask from WhatsApp after a call-out?
Yes. Enter the mobile, check the message, open WhatsApp and tap Send. That is the primary path ReviewPostie is built around.
What about cash jobs with no invoice?
Ask before you leave, or show the QR. Manual send does not need an invoice.
Is ReviewPostie only for plumbers?
No. Same tool for electricians, cleaners and other UK local businesses. This page speaks to a plumber's day.
How much does it cost?
£29/month after a 14-day trial with 20 requests and no card to start. Paid plan includes unlimited WhatsApp and own-phone requests plus 200 Postie Text credits each month.
