Review generation and reputation for a garage door company
Across 14,382 garage door listings the median is 27 reviews and the 90th percentile is 313. The map pack in a real metro is held by companies in that top tenth. This trade has an advantage: the job ends with the customer standing in the garage watching the door work, which is the best moment to ask that exists, and a truck runs four to eight of those a day.
The mistake is letting the office send an email three days later. The ask has to happen at the door, in one sentence, followed by a text from the truck before it leaves the driveway. One review per truck per working day is the ceiling; half of that moves a 30-review shop past 100 in a year.
Ratings are not the differentiator: 89.8% of garage door companies are at 4.5 or above. Count, recency, and reviews that mention the job and the town are what separate you.
