🚀 Top 3 in local pack — “painter near me”
Sound familiar?
Customers can’t hire you if they can’t find you.
When someone searches “painter near me”, Google shows three businesses — and they get the calls. Everyone else is invisible.
🛻
The painting 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 to the top of your local map.
No training. No laptop. No fuss. 10 seconds after each job is all it takes.

💡 NiceJob’s social posts: When NiceJob shares your review to social media, every post shows the NiceJob logo — not your business name. You’re paying $75/month to promote their brand. Tradeloper always puts your business name on everything.
Built for local businesses
Even the tools built for local businesses cost 10x more than us.
The other review apps do a similar job — for a lot more money. Here’s how Tradeloper lines up against them.

✨ 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 core job costs from $9 instead of hundreds.
Competitor pricing based on publicly listed plans as of June 2026 and may vary. Feature comparisons reflect core review-collection and social-posting functionality.

Why it matters
Why Google reviews decide which painters get the call.
Painting is a before-and-after trade, and the reveal is one of the most satisfying moments in home services - which makes it the perfect time to earn a review. Homeowners also weigh trust heavily, because a painting crew is inside their home for days. Before they book, they search "painter near me" and read the reviews to see who is reliable, clean, and worth letting in. Tradeloper turns every finished job into a review request at the right moment and tracks where you rank so the calls keep coming.
The reveal is the perfect moment to ask - and it is easy to miss.
When the customer sees the finished room or the fresh exterior, their reaction is exactly the feeling that produces a 5-star review. Ask that day, not next week. Tradeloper sends the request while the wow is fresh.
Customers let you live in their home for days - reviews prove you are safe to.
Trust is a big part of the decision. A deep, recent review history showing you are tidy, respectful, and on time is what convinces the next homeowner to hand you a key.
Painting is project-based, so every customer counts.
You do not have hundreds of small jobs a week - you have a steady stream of meaningful projects. Missing a review on any one of them is a real loss, so Tradeloper makes sure every customer gets asked.
Yes - the visible transformation makes painting one of the easier trades to get reviews for, as long as you ask at the reveal while the customer is still admiring the work. Tradeloper sends the request automatically so you never miss that window.
Right at the final walkthrough, when the customer sees the finished result. That is the peak of their satisfaction. Add them to Tradeloper at job close and the request goes out at the right moment.
It builds the two factors you control - review volume and recency, plus a complete Google Business Profile - and tracks your map-pack position so you can watch your ranking climb.
Yes. Any customer with a name and email can be added, and property managers or GCs can review your commercial work too. Use Notes to track the type of job.
Yes, as long as you ask everyone and do not cherry-pick only the happy ones - Google and the FTC both require that. Tradeloper asks every customer you add, so you stay compliant by default.
Yes — signing up is free and we don’t ask for a card. You get a 14-day free trial with full access: add customers and send real Google review requests right away, so you can watch it actually work before you pay. When the trial ends, pick a plan ($9/month Starter or $29/month Pro) to keep sending — and every paid plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, cancel anytime in two clicks.
Most members get their first new Google review within 1–2 weeks of signing up. Review volume builds steadily from there — members who add customers consistently after every job typically see 10–20 new reviews within the first 60 days.
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 (or mobile number) and they’ve agreed to be contacted, you can add them. 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.
94% of reviews from Tradeloper members are 4 or 5 stars — because we ask right after a job well done, when customers are happiest. 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.
No. Your customer gets a normal email with a link to Google. They tap it and leave a review — no app, no account, nothing to download. Works on any phone.
Yes. If a customer hired you and shared their email and agreed to be contacted, you can ask them for a review. Every Tradeloper request includes a one-tap opt-out as required by US law.
Review requests go out by email the moment you tap Send, with a polite follow-up a few days later if the customer hasn’t left a review yet — auto-skipped once they’ve tapped the link or reviewed.
Google reviews are the focus — they have the biggest impact on local search ranking. We don’t support Yelp because Yelp explicitly prohibits asking customers for reviews and penalizes businesses that do.
Most review tools send generic bulk emails that land in spam, or make customers log in to leave a review. Tradeloper sends a personal, branded request straight from your business — with a one-tap link to your Google profile and no login. It reads like it came from you, not a marketing platform.
No. Every request has a one-tap unsubscribe link. When a customer opts out, we automatically mark them so they won’t be contacted again, and you see that status on your customer list. Opt-outs are normal — they don’t reflect on you, and they aren’t complaints to any regulator.
It reads as if it came from you. The review request carries your business name (“thanks for choosing [your business]”), not ours — customers don’t see the word “Tradeloper” anywhere unless you put it there yourself. It arrives by email, built for high deliverability.
No. There’s no phone number to buy and nothing to install. Add your Google review link, add a customer, and tap Send — the email goes out signed with your business name right away. Setup takes about 5 minutes, all from your phone.
Never. Customer emails and phone numbers are stored only to send your review request and follow-up. We don’t sell, share, or use them for anything else. We don’t do ads. You can delete a customer (and their data) any time, and you can export the whole list as CSV from Settings.
Starter ($9/month) covers the essentials for collecting reviews: email review requests with automatic follow-ups, daily Google review tracking, negative-review alerts, and click tracking. Pro ($29/month) adds everything that gets you found and grows the business — local rank tracking + heatmap, Google & Facebook profile scores, job pins, AI social & photo posts, the reviews widget, posting replies directly to Google, reactivation & batch send, and more. Most solo trades start on Starter and upgrade as they grow.
Go to Settings → Cancel. One click, no phone call, no email forms. Your account stays active until the end of the billing period you already paid for — we don’t lock you out the moment you cancel like some tools do.
Most of the tools built for local businesses are sold through agencies and resellers, so an agency-style markup gets baked into the price — that’s why they land at $84–233/month. Tradeloper is built lean for the one-van operator and sold direct to you, so there’s no middleman markup and pricing starts from $9. You still get the core job done: collect more 5-star Google reviews, and get found on Google.
Get found on Google — starting today.
Create your account, add your Google review link, add your first customer. Tradeloper sends the request and turns your best reviews into posts — so you show up and win the call.
