Somebody who needs a contractor searches Google, looks at three names, and calls the one with the real website and the reviews. Kinvy builds that website, sets up your Google Business Profile, and texts every finished customer for a review. One flat monthly price. No contract.
of people read reviews before they pick a local business.
BrightLocal 2026 [1]will only use a business with four stars or better.
BrightLocal 2026 [1]after you mark a job done, your customer gets the review text. One tap to your Google page.
How it worksEvery contractor I talk to tells me some version of these. None of them are about how good you are at the job. They're about whether the next customer can find you, and whether they like what they see when they do.
Google picks those names from your Business Profile, your website and your reviews. I set up all three properly and keep them that way.
How it worksPeople check you out on their phone before they call. A fast, real site with a page for every service and town, your licence and your work photos, live in seven days.
How it worksFifteen minutes after you mark a job done, the customer gets a text with a one-tap link to your Google page. Same text for everybody. You get a heads up the moment a review lands.
How it worksLead sites sell the same homeowner to several pros and you race to the bottom on price. Your own site and Google listing bring calls that are yours alone.
How it worksYou get a direct line, changes by the next business day, and a report on the 1st of every month. Month to month, so I have to earn it.
How it worksThe Lead Saver add-on texts them back from your number in about ten seconds, so they wait for you instead of calling the next guy.
How it worksBackcountry is an owner-run excavation company out of Chelan. They had no website and no real presence on Google. I built one, fixed their Google Business Profile, and turned on the review engine. About two months later, here's where they stand.
Site prep, grading, driveways and drainage from Chelan out to the Methow Valley. Search "excavation contractor Chelan WA" and they come up.
Searched logged out, so it's what a customer sees. One business, not a promise.

A homeowner in Wenatchee needs her driveway regraded before winter. She searches on her phone and gets three names.
One has forty reviews and a real website. One has a Facebook page. One has two reviews from 2019. You already know which one she calls.
This is what the plan is built for. Your Google listing, your website and your reviews all show up in the same few seconds, and she makes up her mind before she talks to anyone. Here's those four minutes.
"Regraded our driveway before the snow. The water runs off it now instead of into the garage."
Linda P. · WenatcheeSix questions. Tick the ones that are true for your business today. Each one is something the next customer sees before they decide who to call.
You finish the driveway, open the app and tap the job done. That's the only part you do.
The same words for every customer, with a one-tap link to your Google page. No survey first and no star rating to get past.
No app and no account. If she forgets, one reminder goes out the next day between 9 and 5. She tapped, so it never sends.
It's public on your Google profile, and you get a heads up with the stars so you can reply the same day.
The next homeowner searches your trade and your town. Your stars and your fresh reviews are the first thing she sees. Every finished job adds to them.
The plan comes with the Kinvy app. It's my CRM, set up around your business. CRM is just a fancy word for one place that keeps track of every customer. You download the LeadConnector app and log in. When a job's finished you tap it done, and the review text goes out by itself.
Set up and run by me. You just tap the job done. On iPhone and Android, included in the plan.
Everything it takes to get found on Google and picked over the other guy, for one monthly price. Add the lead tools when you want them. Cancel whenever you want and I mean it.
Get found. Get picked. Get reviewed.
Nothing slips through.
Answers your phone in a real voice and books the job. Priced to your business after a short conversation.
Month to month, no contract. You text me and it stops. If there's a one-time setup fee, you see the number in writing before you sign.
Every customer gets the same review text with the same public link. Screening people first and only sending the happy ones to Google is against Google's rules and puts your listing at risk. Plenty of agencies still sell it. I don't build it.
| Kinvy | Lead sites | Typical agency | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Getting found on Google | Website, Google SEO and your Business Profile, done for you | You rent their traffic | Often sold as separate services | Your evenings |
| Reviews | Every finished customer texted, one reminder, then it stops | Platform reviews, not your Google | Sometimes | Up to you |
| Who owns the leads | You. Your site, your listing, your number | Shared with other pros | You | You |
| What you pay for | One flat monthly price | Per lead, win or lose | Retainer, often with a contract | Your evenings |
| Contract | None. Month to month | Varies | Often 6 to 12 months | None |
| Changes | Text me. Live next business day | Not applicable | Ticket, then invoice | You, at night |
| Calls you miss | Texted back in seconds with the Lead Saver add-on | Not handled | Usually not included | Up to you |

Every dot is a call. Set your own numbers, then flip on Lead Saver and watch the missed ones get texted back.
Your numbers, not a promise.
This is the AI voice agent add-on answering for a sample handyman business. Pick the voice you like, then press play. Real voice, real booking, no hold music. It says it's the assistant, because customers deserve to know.
Sample call with a demo business. Your agent is set up with your services, towns and hours. Priced to your business.
I don't just build a website. I get you found on Google, picked over the other guy, and reviewed.
I build the website, set up and look after the Google Business Profile, and run the review engine for trade businesses across Washington. Right now when you call, you get me. As we grow you'll still get somebody who knows your business by name and can change it by the next business day.
Most agencies sell you a website and disappear, or sell you ads and vanish when the money stops. I do the slow, steady work that keeps you showing up on Google and keeps the reviews coming in, then show you the numbers on the 1st of every month.
Anyone who tells you they'll have you at the top of Google in three months is lying, and you've probably already had that call this week.
Marine Corps veteran, former blue-collar tradesman. I've worked with my hands my whole career, so I know how frustrating the tech side of running a business can get. I put in the long hours learning it so you don't have to.
Word of mouth is the best lead there is, and most of those people still look you up before they call. If they find a Facebook page with two reviews, the referral goes cold. This protects the work your reputation already earns.
No, and nobody honest can. Google decides. What I can do is fix everything Google looks at, keep it fixed, ask every customer for a review, and show you the numbers every month. Backcountry Excavation went from nothing on Google to second on the map in Chelan in about two months. That's one business, not a promise.
Most people I talk to have. That's why there's no contract, you get a direct number, and every month you get a one-page report of the calls, forms and reviews that came in. If it isn't earning its keep, you text me and it stops.
No. The launch call is fifteen minutes. You get one app that looks like your text messages. When a job's done you tap it, and the review text goes out by itself. Changes happen by texting me.
Usually yes, but you keep your domain and your content. If your site is already good, we can keep it and run the Google work and the review engine around it.
Seven days from when you pay, with a first look on day four. Automated texting needs a carrier registration that takes about a week, and I file it on day one.
One plan, $297 a month, for your website, Google SEO, Google Business Profile and the review engine. The Lead Saver add-on is $97 a month more and adds missed call text back and call tracking. The AI voice agent is priced to your business after a short conversation. No contract. If there's a one-time setup fee, you see it in writing before you sign.
Press play on the sample call above and judge for yourself. It's set up with your services, towns and hours, and it introduces itself as your assistant. Anything unusual, it takes a message and flags you instead of guessing. It's an add-on, priced after a short conversation about your business.
