Google reviews for contractors who bill in QuickBooks

Contractors bill in stages: deposit, progress invoices, change orders, and retainage. Asking for a review after a deposit is too early. The job isn't done.

How InvoiceStars handles it

• InvoiceStars checks the invoice balance. A deposit or progress payment never triggers a request. Only a $0 balance does.
• If you hold retainage on a separate final invoice, the request goes out when that last invoice is paid.
• The 90-day cooldown stops a second request if the same customer pays another invoice soon after.
• Set a send delay (default 2 days, adjustable from 0 to 30 days) so the ask lands after the punch list is closed.

How it works

1. Connect QuickBooks Online.
2. Add your Google review link.
3. When an invoice is paid in full (balance $0), InvoiceStars asks that customer for a Google review by email (and SMS when switched on).

InvoiceStars: $25/month per location, 14-day free trial, month to month. Sends a Google review request when a QuickBooks Online invoice is paid in full (balance $0). Email + SMS (SMS coming). One reminder at most.

FAQ

When should a contractor ask for a Google review?

After the final invoice is paid in full. That is when the job is done and the customer has closed it out.

Will a progress payment trigger a review request?

No. InvoiceStars only asks when the invoice balance is $0.

Can I ask the homeowner and not the property manager's AP office?

InvoiceStars skips common accounts-payable and billing inboxes and uses the customer's main email or mobile phone in QuickBooks.
