What the Software Does for Chimney Sweeps
Six features, all built around the same job: turn a finished sweep into a posted review with the least possible work from you. Nothing fluffy. Nothing you'd never use.
SMS review requests
Sent the moment you finish a sweep. SMS gets a 90%+ open rate within minutes.
Sentiment gate
Unhappy customers give private feedback. Only happy ones go to Google.
Automatic follow-up nudge
If a customer doesn't respond to the first request, one polite reminder goes out a few days later. Then it stops — no nagging.
Private feedback inbox
Every low rating that didn't go to Google lands in your dashboard with its comment, so you can call the customer back and fix the issue.
Conversion stats
See how many requests you've sent, how many customers clicked through, and how many actually posted a review.
Bulk import past customers
Upload a CSV of recent customers and send a one-off request to all of them — a fast way to bank a wave of reviews.
What Software Like This Solves for Chimney Sweeps
Generic CRMs treat a chimney sweep business like a tech startup. Bespoke booking software costs hundreds a month and barely touches reviews. Below are the four specific problems this software was built to fix.
Annual sweeps are routine — customers don't think to review routine services
Your busiest months are September-November — no time to chase reviews
Customers forget you exist until next year's sweep
Insurance certificates are expected, not differentiating
Top-ranking chimney sweeps typically have 25-50 Google reviews.
Why Chimney Sweeps Need Review Software in the First Place
Chimney sweeping is an annual trust purchase. Customers want someone reliable, clean, and thorough. Reviews about tidiness, professionalism, and helpful fire safety advice ensure they rebook next year — and recommend you to neighbours. Software solves the asking problem at scale — you can't do this by hand and run a business at the same time.
"chimney sweep near me"
Google shows the top three results for this search based heavily on review count, rating, and recency. Most clicks go to those three.
Trust signal
For a chimney sweep business, reviews are the first social proof potential customers see — long before they ever talk to you.
Permanent asset
Unlike Checkatrade, Google reviews are free, owned by you, and don't disappear when you stop paying.
Designed Around the Reality of Chimney Sweeping Work
From the busy week of a chimney sweep juggling a chimney sweeping and a bird nest removal on the same day, to the slow weeks — the software pulls its weight in both.

Questions About the Software
What features does the software include for chimney sweeps?+
SMS review requests, an automatic follow-up nudge, sentiment-gated routing (so unhappy customers go to private feedback, not Google), a private feedback inbox, a stats dashboard showing requests sent and conversions, your existing Google reviews displayed in-app, and CSV bulk import. Nothing bolted on you'd never use.
Does it work on my phone?+
Yes — that's the point. The whole interface is built to be used between sweeps on a phone. Add a customer in under 15 seconds.
What's the difference between this and free Google review request links?+
A static link doesn't get sent, doesn't filter unhappy customers out, and doesn't tell you who hasn't reviewed yet. The software does all three.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Monthly rolling — cancel from the dashboard with one click. No retention calls, no contracts to wriggle out of.
Software that earns its keep — for chimney sweeps.
No setup fees, no annual contracts, no per-seat pricing. Just the features that move your review count up and your admin down.
