Get found on Google. Win more local jobs. Built for appliance repair pros.
See exactly where you rank for “appliance repair near me” across your whole town — then climb to the top of Google with more 5-star reviews, a complete profile, and proof of your work. Set up in 5 minutes, all from your phone.
When someone searches “appliance repair near me”, Google shows three businesses — and they get the calls. Everyone else is invisible.
🛻
The appliance repair business down the road shows up in Google’s top 3 for every local search, so customers call them first. The difference? 80 reviews and a complete profile — you have 12. You never even know you lost the job.
📱
You mean to ask for a review after every job. But the moment passes, you’re onto the next call, and it never gets done.
⏰
You know you should be on social media. But between jobs, invoices, and the family — when? It just doesn’t happen.
💳
You’ve paid $79/mo for a marketing tool that did nothing — and the contract auto-renewed before you could cancel. You’re done with that.
🚫
You’re renting leads from Angi or Thumbtack — and the day you stop paying, they stop coming. The reviews and Google profile you build with Tradeloper are yours to keep.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself
Add the customer when the job is done.
Tradeloper emails them your Google review link.
You see the review count move, and hear about a bad one before your customers do.
Say your average job is $150. Tradeloper Starter: $19/month. Win one extra customer off the stronger review count and you’ve covered eight months of Starter. (Rank tracking and the heatmap are Pro, $49/month.) We’re too early to publish an average time-to-first-review we could stand behind — see the real numbers we do have.
Tradeloper is early. We are not going to quote you an average result we cannot stand behind, or testimonials you have no way to check. What we will tell you is exactly what it does today: it emails your customers a review request after each job, tracks your Google review count daily, and tells you when a bad review lands.
If that does not earn its keep, the money-back guarantee is there for precisely that reason.

✨ What makes us different: a full local rank heatmap across your whole service area at one flat price — no per-scan credits. Your best reviews turned into ready-to-post Facebook & Instagram captions, not just Google. And it’s built trade-first — mobile, one-tap, no marketing manager required.
💡 Why the gap? Most other review apps price for teams and pass an agency-style markup on to you. Tradeloper is built lean for the one-van operator and sold direct — so the same work costs a fraction of theirs: Review collection starts at $19/month; the get-found toolkit — local rank tracking, profile scores, job pins, AI posts and the reviews widget — is Pro at $49/month.
Competitor pricing based on publicly listed plans, verified August 2026 (a few not re-verified since June — each comparison page lists its own as-of date and source) and may vary. Feature comparisons reflect core review-collection and social-posting functionality.

Why it matters
Why Google reviews decide which appliance repair pros get the call.
When the fridge stops cooling or the washer floods the laundry room, people do not shop around for days - they grab their phone and search "appliance repair near me" and call one of the first names with strong reviews. Appliance repair is an urgent, one-time-ish job, so the customer has no relationship with you yet and picks almost entirely on reputation and how fast you can come out. Tradeloper helps you win those calls two ways: it asks every customer for a Google review the moment the repair is done, and on Pro it tracks where you actually rank in the map pack for the searches that ring your phone. More 5-star reviews and a higher local rank mean you are the pro people find first, not the one buried on page two. It is email-first today with SMS coming soon, self-serve, and you can cancel anytime.
The numbers behind local rank
Reviews are roughly 16–20% of Google map-pack ranking, and Google now weights recent reviews over older ones.
A complete, active Google Business Profile is about a third of local ranking — category, completeness, and posting activity.

Appliance repair is an emergency purchase, so the top-ranked shop with the most reviews gets the call.
Nobody schedules a broken refrigerator for next month. When food is spoiling or clothes are soaked, homeowners call whoever shows up first in Google with a wall of recent 5-star reviews. If you are ranking below the national dispatch outfits and have only a handful of reviews, you never even get the ring - the job goes to the shop that looks busiest and most trusted. Tradeloper builds that steady stream of fresh reviews, and on Pro it shows you exactly where you sit in the map pack so you can climb it.
Most of your work is one and done, so you have to keep earning new customers every single week.
A plumber gets repeat calls for years, but a homeowner who needed a dryer belt might not need you again for a decade. That means your reputation online is doing almost all the selling, and stale or thin reviews quietly cost you jobs you never hear about. Tradeloper turns every completed repair into a review request automatically, so the flow of proof keeps up with the flow of new customers instead of drying up between big jobs.
Techs finish the repair, pack up, and forget to ask - so the reviews never come.
You did a clean same-day fix, the customer was thrilled, and then everyone moved on. Two weeks later they cannot remember your company name. The gap between a happy customer and a posted review is the single biggest thing appliance pros leave on the table. Tradeloper closes it by sending the ask right after the job while the relief is still fresh, and it nudges the ones who forget, so five-star jobs actually turn into five-star reviews.

How to
How to get Google reviews for an appliance repair business
Appliance repair is a single short visit into somebody's home, usually to fix something they had already half decided to replace. The review hinges on whether the fix holds.
Ask after it has run a full cycle
A washing machine is not fixed until it has done a wash. Asking as you pack up is asking before the customer knows the answer.
Repair versus replace is the conversation that earns the review
Customers expect to be told to buy a new one. Being told honestly that a twelve-year-old machine is not worth the part is what they write about.
Name the part and the fault
Drain pump, door interlock, control board. It turns a mysterious service-call fee into a specific piece of work.
In-home visits are judged on care, not just competence
Shoes, floors, moving the machine back without scratching the tiles. Small things, and they are what appear in a one-star review.
Mean service lives: dishwashers 15.2 years, dryers about 14, refrigerators 14.3, gas ranges 14.2, electric ranges 11.6. Washers split sharply — top-load 11.2, front-load 9.1. Knowing where a machine sits on that curve is exactly what makes a repair-or-replace answer credible.

Tradeloper emails the request after the job, timed after the visit rather than during it.

Watch out
Appliance store on a van-based repair business is the classic storefront-versus-service-area mismatch.
Yes, and often more than you would expect. A dead fridge or a broken washer is a stressful, expensive-feeling problem, so when someone fixes it fast and fair the customer feels genuine relief - and relieved people leave reviews when you ask at the right moment. The trick is asking right after the repair while the gratitude is fresh, which is exactly what Tradeloper does automatically so you are not chasing people days later.
Two levers. First, a steady stream of fresh Google reviews is one of the strongest signals in the local map pack, and Tradeloper keeps that flowing from every job. Second, on Pro it tracks your actual rank for the searches that matter across your service area with a geo-grid heatmap, so you can see the neighborhoods where you show up on top versus where you are invisible, and focus your effort there instead of guessing.
Yes. Appliance techs drive a wide radius, and you might dominate the map pack near your home base but disappear across the county. Tradeloper's geo-grid rank heatmap (on the Pro plan) shows your ranking pinned across the whole area, so you know which suburbs are already sending you calls and which ones you need reviews and profile work to break into.
No. Getting reviews is half of it. The other half is getting found, and that half is Pro: it tracks your local rank, scores how complete and optimized your Google Business Profile is, drops job pins that prove where you have worked, and turns finished repairs into social posts it can auto-post to Facebook. Pure review apps stop at collecting stars. Tradeloper connects the reviews to actually showing up higher when a homeowner searches.
Plans are Starter at $19/mo ($179/yr), Pro at $49/mo ($449/yr). It is self-serve with no contract, cancel anytime, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee - so for the price of one small parts markup a month you can test whether more reviews bring in more repair calls, then step up to Pro when you want the rank tracking too.
Yes — signing up is free and we don’t ask for a card. You get a 14-day free trial: add customers and send real Google review requests right away, so you can watch it actually work before you pay. Rank tracking and AI are capped during the trial — the geo-grid heatmap runs on a sample map instead of your own scan, you get one tracked keyword and one manual rank check, and 3 AI generations in total across posts, photo captions and review replies — and they live on Pro once the trial ends, not on Starter. When the trial ends, pick a plan ($19/month Starter for review collection, or $49/month Pro to keep rank tracking, AI posts and replies) to keep sending — and every paid plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can cancel from Settings whenever you like: pick a reason, confirm, done.
That depends on how many jobs you finish, because every completed job is one review request — your job volume sets the pace, not us. We would rather be straight with you than quote an average: Tradeloper is new, and our members are still too few to draw one from honestly — we publish their actual, live review numbers on our results page instead of advertising a figure we cannot stand behind. What we can promise is the mechanism — ask every customer right after the job, follow up once if they don’t act, and watch your review count daily so you can tell inside a couple of weeks whether it is working for you.
No. Email review requests are included in your subscription — no per-message fees, no surprise overages, no matter how many customers you add.
Most aren’t. The request is short, friendly, uses your business name, and reads like it came from you — not a marketing blast. It’s a single polite ask with a one-tap link and an easy opt-out. If you’ve already done good work, customers are usually happy to help.
The email review request arrives in their inbox with a one-tap link — many older customers tap it from a laptop at home. A polite follow-up goes out a few days later if they haven’t left a review yet. If a customer has no email, just ask them in person on your next visit.
Add them whenever you remember. The customer never knows when you set up the request — they just get a review request from you. Whether you add them 10 minutes after the job or 3 days later, it sends as soon as you tap Send. Most owners batch the day’s customers in the evening over a coffee.
Yes. As long as you have the customer’s name and email address and they’ve agreed to be contacted, you can add them. A mobile number is optional today — text requests are coming soon. Plenty of Tradeloper users run mixed residential/commercial books. Use the Notes field on each customer to track which side they’re on if it matters for your workflow.
Asking right after a job well done — when the customer is happiest — is the single biggest lever on review quality, and it is what Tradeloper automates. You can also pause review requests for any individual customer in one tap from your customer list. We never filter who gets asked (that’s illegal under the FTC’s Consumer Review Rule), but timing matters enormously.
