Using the Calculator
What information do I need to use the Review Goal Calculator?
You only need your current number of reviews, your current star rating, the number of reviews you get per month, and target rating or target number of reviews. You can add additional details to create monthly goals for technicians or locations.
How do I know what my review goal should be?
A good rule of thumb is to look at the top three competitors in your local market on Google Maps. Set your goal to have at least 10-20% more reviews than the highest-ranking competitor in your service area.
Does the calculator save my progress?
Yes! If you sign in, the tool will log your progress history over time so you can track how your actual review growth compares to your pacing projections.
Understanding the Results
How does the tool calculate my milestone timeline?
The timeline is based on your “pace” or average number of new reviews you generate each month. By comparing your current position against your goal, the calculator projects exactly when you’ll hit specific milestones if you maintain that pace.
Can this tool help me figure out how to recover from a bad rating?
Yes. If you have a lower star rating, the calculator helps you understand exactly how many new 5-star reviews you need to offset the negative ones and reach your target average rating.
How Do The Milestones Work?
The milestones measure the 33%, 66% and 100% of the difference between where you currently are and your goal.
Next Steps & Strategy
What if my projected timeline is too slow?
If your milestone timeline is stretching too far into the future, it means you need a better system for requesting and capturing reviews. You can increase your monthly pace by automating your review requests and training your technicians to ask for reviews on the job.
How do I actually get the number of reviews the calculator says I need?
Hitting your review goal requires a repeatable system, which many home service companies lack. You can learn how to build an automated reputation growth engine by checking out Brandon Boushy’s Reputation Management Blueprint.
