- Text the review link before leaving.
- Never offer a reward for a review.

## Leave a short job note
- Write the service and town in one line.
- The office uses notes for Google posts.
- Keep it to under a minute per job.

## Job-site habits that feed your Google profile
| Habit | Time on site | Used for |

| One-line job note | Under 1 minute | Google posts |

## FAQ
### Do job photos help Google Maps rankings?
Real, current photos make your profile more useful and trustworthy to homeowners. Google doesn't publish an exact ranking formula.

### Should technicians ask for reviews?
Yes. The end of a good job is the best time to ask, as long as no reward is offered.
