Sound familiar?
Customers can’t hire you if they can’t find you.
When someone searches “tree service near me”, Google shows three businesses — and they get the calls. Everyone else is invisible.
🛻
The tree service 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 tree service companies get the call.
When a storm drops a limb across the driveway or a dead oak starts leaning toward the house, people grab their phone and search "tree service near me", then hire the crew with the most reviews and the fewest horror stories. Tree work is big-ticket and mostly one-time, so you cannot coast on repeat customers, every new job comes from ranking high on Google and looking trustworthy the second someone lands on your profile. Tradeloper asks every customer for a Google review by email right after the job is cleaned up, so your five-star count climbs while the memory of that tidy crew and spotless yard is still fresh. On Pro it also tracks where you rank for "tree removal" and "stump grinding" across your whole service area with a geo-grid heatmap, and turns your before-and-after photos into social posts that prove you do the work safely. More reviews and a higher map rank mean the next storm sends those calls to you instead of the guy two towns over.
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.

Tree jobs are big-ticket and mostly one-time, so your reviews do the selling for you.
A homeowner spends $800–2,000 to take down one tree and may not need you again for years, so you cannot lean on repeat business the way a lawn crew can. Every job is a fresh stranger deciding whether to trust you with a chainsaw next to their house, and a long wall of recent five-star reviews is what tips that decision your way. Tradeloper makes sure each finished job turns into a review while the customer is still thrilled the tree is gone.
People are terrified you will drop a limb through the roof - reviews are how you prove you won't.
Nothing scares a homeowner more than a fly-by-night crew, a cracked fence, a smashed garden bed, or worse. Reviews that mention careful rigging, clean cleanup, and full insurance answer that fear before you ever hand over a quote. Tradeloper collects those specifics and puts your rating front and center, so you read as the licensed, insured pro instead of the guy with a ladder and a pickup.
Storm season is a gold rush, but only if you show up first on the map.
When a big wind comes through, half the town searches "emergency tree removal" the same afternoon, and the crews sitting in the map pack book solid while everyone else waits by a quiet phone. On Pro, Tradeloper tracks your local rank across every neighborhood you cover with a geo-grid heatmap, so you can see exactly where you show up strong and where you are invisible, and fix it before the next storm rolls in.

Reputation
Reputation management for tree service companies
Most tree work is urgent and one-off. A limb comes down, the homeowner searches, and they pick from whoever looks trustworthy on Google in the next ten minutes. You will probably never see that customer again — which means the review has to be asked for while the job is fresh, not next quarter.
The decision is about risk, not price
A crew is putting a chainsaw in a tree next to someone's roof. Reviews that mention safety, insurance and a clean site do more work here than reviews that mention cost.
The person who finishes the job is not the person who asks
Your crew packs up and drives to the next address. If asking depends on someone remembering at the end of a long day, it does not happen consistently.
Storm weeks decide your year
Demand arrives in bursts. The profile you take into a storm week is the one that wins the calls — reviews earned in the quiet months are what make that profile work when the wind picks up.
Young trees are typically pruned every 2–3 years, mature deciduous every 3–5, and large firs and pines every 5–7, with mature trees inspected annually. The ISA’s position is that pruning should follow a structural or safety objective rather than a calendar — and correct pruning is a large part of whether a tree survives a storm intact.

What Tradeloper does
Tradeloper emails a review request after each completed job, tracks your Google review count daily so you can see the trend, and alerts you when a negative review appears so you can respond while it still matters. AI drafts a reply for you on Pro.
What it does not do
We do not remove reviews — nobody legitimately can. We draft replies for you to paste; we do not post to Google on your behalf. Requests go out by email today, not SMS.

The right Google category for a tree service companies

Removal, trimming, pruning and stump work all belong here.
Watch out
There is no “Stump grinding service” category. Put stump grinding in your services list and your business description, not in a category you invented.
Yes - a removal or a big trim is a memorable, expensive job, and homeowners are genuinely relieved and impressed when a dead tree is gone and the yard is left spotless. That relief is peak review moment. The trick is asking right then, and Tradeloper sends the request by email automatically the day the job wraps, so you are not chasing people a week later when the moment has passed.
Because even your referrals pull up your Google rating before they call, and a stranger with a limb on the roof picks purely on reviews and rank. Referrals get you considered, but reviews and map position are what win the job when someone is comparing three crews at once. Tradeloper builds both so you are the obvious pick when the phones light up after a storm.
On Pro it tracks where you rank for terms like "tree removal" and "stump grinding" across a grid of points over your entire service area, so you can see the neighborhoods where you dominate and the ones where you never appear. Paired with a steady flow of fresh reviews and the Pro plan's Google Business Profile optimization score that shows what to fix, that climbs your spot in the local map pack over time. More reviews plus higher rank is the whole get-found half of the tool.
That is exactly who it is built for. Starter is $19/mo ($179/yr), Pro is $49/mo ($449/yr), all self-serve with no contract, cancel anytime, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. One extra removal a year covers it many times over, and it runs in the background so you can stay up in the trees instead of chasing reviews from your phone.
Today it is email-first, which works well right after a job when you already have the customer's email on the invoice or estimate. Text-message requests are coming soon. In the meantime the automatic email requests on Starter - plus local rank tracking with the geo-grid heatmap and before-and-after photo posts on Pro - already give you more reviews and a higher map rank without any texting at all.
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.
