Get found on Google. Win more local jobs. Built for window cleaners.
See exactly where you rank for “window cleaning 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 “window cleaning near me”, Google shows three businesses — and they get the calls. Everyone else is invisible.
🛻
The window cleaning 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 window cleaners get the call.
When windows get grimy or a homeowner is prepping for a party, they pull out their phone and search "window cleaning near me", then pick whoever has the most five-star reviews and photos that prove the glass ends up spotless. Window cleaning is a proximity and trust business - people are letting a stranger up a ladder around their house, so a stack of recent reviews from their own neighborhood does more work than any flyer. The trouble is that most window cleaners finish a job, get a "thanks, looks great", and never ask for the review while the customer is still standing there admiring the glass. Tradeloper emails every customer a review request the moment the job is done, so those spotless-window compliments turn into public five-star reviews. On Pro it also tracks where you rank for "window cleaning near me" across town, helps you climb the Google map, and turns your best before-and-after shots into social posts.
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.

Window cleaning is seasonal, so a wall of reviews is what keeps the phone ringing in the slow months.
Spring cleaning, fall gutter season, and holiday prep drive most of the calls, and the quiet stretches in between can be brutal. When someone finally searches in your off-season, showing up at the top of the map with dozens of recent reviews is the difference between getting the call and watching it go to the crew ranked above you. Tradeloper keeps review requests going out on every job so your count keeps climbing year-round, not just when you are slammed.
You are asking people to trust a stranger on a ladder around their home, and reviews do that convincing for you.
Homeowners worry about a broken pane, a trampled flower bed, or a no-show, and they cannot judge any of that from a price quote. Reviews that mention on time, careful around the landscaping, and fully insured answer those fears before you ever knock on the door. Tradeloper asks every customer for that review right after the job, so the next nervous homeowner reads real proof instead of guessing.
The real money is in repeat routes and add-ons, and reviews are how you win the whole street.
One clean turns into quarterly service, screens, tracks, gutters, and pressure washing, and the neighbors who keep seeing your van start to notice. When you rank high for local searches and show real reviews from that zip code, you stop being a one-time job and become the crew the whole neighborhood books. On Pro, Tradeloper shows you exactly where you rank street by street with a geo-grid heatmap, so you can see which pockets of town still do not know your name.

How to
How to get Google reviews for a window cleaning business
Window cleaning is recurring, fast, and usually happens while nobody is home. Customers frequently cannot say for certain which day you came.
Leave proof of the visit
A note, a message, anything that says you were there and what you did. Without it the customer's only evidence is clean glass they may not notice until Saturday.
Ask after the first clean, not the fourth
The first visit has a visible before. By the fourth, clean windows are simply the normal state of their house.
Frames and sills are the upsell and the review
Anyone can do the glass. Customers notice when the frames, sills and doors are done too, and that is what they write about.
Commercial rounds have a different reviewer
The shop manager sees the shopfront every morning. Head office signed the contract and never looks at it.
Residential is twice a year, spring and fall. Commercial is a different business entirely: storefronts, restaurants and offices monthly, high-traffic retail every two to four weeks, and on high-rises the lobbies and ground floors monthly even when the upper floors are done once or twice a year.

Tradeloper emails the request after a job, which for a round-based business is the only way the ask happens consistently.

Watch out
Window installation service is a completely different trade. It is one line away in the picker and it is easy to click by mistake.
Yes - clean glass is one of the most satisfying jobs to look at, so customers are primed to say something the moment you finish. The problem is they forget once you drive off. Tradeloper emails the request while the job is still fresh in their mind, which is why the reviews actually land instead of getting lost in a busy week.
Two ways. More five-star Google reviews push you up the local map pack, and on Pro Tradeloper tracks exactly where you rank for those searches across your service area so you can watch yourself climb, with a geo-grid heatmap that shows your rank block by block, plus a Google Business Profile score that tells you what to fix to rank higher.
Today Tradeloper sends review requests by email, which works great and keeps you fully compliant. SMS review requests are coming soon. Either way, you are not standing there awkwardly asking someone to pull up Google while you pack up the ladder and squeegees.
Definitely. Commercial and route work runs on reputation and referrals, and a strong Google presence wins you the next storefront on the block. On the Pro plan Tradeloper also turns your best before-and-after shots into social posts and auto-posts them to your Facebook Page, so your route keeps growing while you work.
Starter is $19/mo ($179/yr) for review collection. Pro is $49/mo ($449/yr) and adds local rank tracking, the geo-grid rank heatmap, Google Business Profile score, AI social posts, and auto-posting to Facebook. No contract, cancel anytime, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
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.
