For General Contractors, Remodelers & Builders
Reputation Managementfor Contractors
Homeowners hand you a major project, and a deposit, based on what they find online. We defend what is under attack: fake, competitor, and never-hired reviews on Angi, HomeAdvisor, Google, Houzz, and BBB, and you pay for removal only after it is confirmed. And we build what wins bids: review flow on Google, Angi, and Houzz after completed projects, your license, insurance, and BBB credentials presented properly, and before-and-after project content that proves your workmanship. The free audit shows exactly which reviews qualify.
13+ Years of Trusted Results







- Why contractors are different. Projects run for weeks or months with deposits, change orders, and subcontractors, so one dispute can become a public review, and a few fake ones cost real bids.
- Defend and build together. We remove fake and non-customer reviews on Angi, HomeAdvisor, Google, Yelp, and BBB, and we build post-job review flow, complete profiles, and the credentials homeowners check.
- Fake Contractor Reviews. If your company has fake or rule-breaking reviews online, we only get paid AFTER we successfully remove them.
What is reputation management for contractors?
The short answer
Reputation management for contractors runs on two tracks. The defend track removes fake, defamatory, or policy-violating reviews across Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, and BBB, the competitor, non-customer, and retaliation reviews that cost you jobs. The build track sets up review requests after completed jobs on Google, Angi, Thumbtack, and Houzz, keeps your name, address, and phone consistent across every listing so homeowners and search engines see one business, presents your BBB accreditation, license, and insurance properly, publishes before-and-after project content, and builds the genuine review standing that sits beside any Google Local Services Ads profile.
How we defend and build a contractor's reputation
We begin with a free audit across every platform homeowners check, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, BBB, and Houzz, and show you both tracks: which reviews contain documentable policy violations, and where the gaps are, thin review volume, an incomplete profile, inconsistent name-address-phone details, missing license and insurance credentials, and no project content. We win most often on reviews from people who never hired you, competitor postings, and fabricated factual claims about a project, all common in a tight local market. A free assessment shows exactly what qualifies, and you pay only if it is removed. The plan is shaped around your business, never one-size-fits-all. Contractors who want to be named when homeowners ask AI assistants can add AI search optimization for local businesses.
The defend track moves first. For the reviews that do qualify, we document the removal case with the timing and origin evidence platforms actually act on, not a single public flag, which matters most when a competitor, a disgruntled non-customer, or one disputed job triggers a cluster of reviews we can address as a pattern. If someone is threatening a bad review unless you redo work for free, preserve the messages and send them to us, because documented review extortion is one of the more removable cases we handle. We submit through each platform's official channel, manage follow-up and escalation, and ask Google to refresh results that still show removed content. Where a single Angi review is the issue, you can start with our Angi review removal service.
The build track runs alongside it. We set up review requests that go to real homeowners right after a completed job, across Google, Angi, Thumbtack, and Houzz, so every real customer is asked. We encourage homeowners to name the project manager or crew lead who did the work, which builds a track record your best people can show and helps homeowners tell an honest review from a fake one. We keep your name, address, and phone identical across every listing, so homeowners and search engines see one business. We make sure your license, insurance, and BBB accreditation are displayed properly everywhere homeowners check, and we publish before-and-after project photos and write-ups that prove your workmanship. Genuine reviews also sit beside your Google Local Services Ads profile, where they help you win the comparison.
You pay nothing upfront and nothing until a specific review is confirmed removed, and build work is scoped in writing before work starts. As fake reviews come down and real ones build, your profiles reflect the work you actually do, which is what homeowners and the lead platforms weigh when they compare bidders. We keep watch so a new attack or retaliation post is caught early.
Why Contractor Reputation Is Different
Homeowners buy on trust, and reviews are the proof
You're being let into someone's home
A homeowner choosing a contractor is deciding who to trust inside their house for a large project. That makes reviews carry more weight than for a typical local business, and a fake one-star do more damage.
Competitor and never-hired reviews are common
Remodeling and building are local, referral-driven markets. Reviews from competitors, former employees, and people who never hired you are among the most frequent and most documentable we handle.
Lead-gen platforms tie ranking to rating
On Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack, your rating affects how often you're shown and how many leads you get. A rating problem directly throttles your lead flow, not just your image.
One bad job can trigger a pile-on
A single dispute, or a subcontractor's mistake, can produce a cluster of reviews. Handled as a pattern, that wave is far more addressable than fought one review at a time.
Long projects create more points of friction
A kitchen, an addition, or a custom home runs for months, with change orders, schedule slips, punch lists, and a final payment. Each one can become a review. Some state false facts, and sorting those from the rest is the first thing we do.
Public records sit beside your reviews
State license board listings, permit histories, and lien or small-claims filings can rank for your company name. We correct listing errors and build accurate results around them.
Who This Is For
Built for contractors who win work on their name
General contractors
You answer for every sub on the job. When a subcontractor's mistake or a schedule slip turns into a review, we sort whether it breaks a rule or needs a good reply.
Remodelers
Kitchens, baths, and additions are sold on photos and reviews. Post-project review requests and before-and-after galleries on Google and Houzz are where your next bid is decided.
Custom home builders
Few projects, long timelines, and large contracts mean every review carries weight. We look for never-hired and competitor reviews first, and build project proof that shows finished homes.
Design-build firms
Clients research your design work on Houzz and your reliability on Google and BBB. Both need to tell the same accurate story, with credentials shown where homeowners check.
Specialty and trade contractors
Concrete, framing, flooring, and other specialty firms are judged by homeowners and by the general contractors who hire them. A complete, accurate profile serves both audiences.
Owners without a marketing team
Most contractors run reviews from a phone between job sites. We do the audit, the filings, and the setup.
Where Your Reputation Lives
What we defend and build on every platform homeowners check
Angi (Angie's List)
The home-services platform many homeowners start with. We document non-customer reviews, competitor postings, and content that violates Angi's guidelines, and we build your profile and post-job review flow so the profile homeowners see reflects your finished projects.
HomeAdvisor
Now part of Angi, and still where many contractors carry years of ratings. We address fake and policy-violating content through the right channel, and genuine reviews from completed projects are what rebuild the profile from there.
Thumbtack
Another major lead-gen marketplace where homeowners compare pros side by side on rating and review count. We document fake and non-customer reviews through its channel and build post-job review flow so the profile homeowners compare reflects your real work.
Nextdoor
Where neighbors ask for and trade contractor recommendations, so a single unfair post travels fast in a tight service area. We address content that violates Nextdoor's guidelines and help you earn genuine recommendations from real customers in the neighborhoods you actually serve.
The reviews that show first for your business name, feed the local pack, and sit beside your Local Services Ads profile, where Google now shows a single Google Verified badge. We build the formal policy case Google's moderation team acts on, and we set up post-job review requests and a complete Business Profile.
BBB & Yelp
BBB complaints and Yelp reviews from non-customers and competitors, addressed at the source, and your BBB accreditation presented properly where homeowners look for it.
Houzz & project galleries
Where homeowners research finish work before they call. We set up post-job review requests on Houzz and publish before-and-after project photos, the proof of workmanship that closes high-dollar jobs.
License, permit & court records
State license board listings, permit-history sites, and lien or small-claims filings that rank for your company name. We correct listing errors through each site's own process where one exists, and build accurate results about your company around them.
The Process
How a contractor engagement runs
- 01
Free, comprehensive audit and assessment
No cost. No commitment.We review your Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, BBB, and Houzz profiles and identify which reviews contain documentable policy violations, plus the gaps: thin review volume, inconsistent name-address-phone listings, missing credentials, and no project content. You pay nothing at this stage.
- 02
Stop the damage
Documented, not flagged.Non-customer reviews, competitor attacks, and coordinated postings are documented with the timing and origin evidence platforms act on, filed through each platform's official channel, and followed up until the platform decides. We then ask Google to refresh results that still show removed content.
- 03
Build what wins jobs
Real customers only.We set up review requests after completed jobs on Google, Angi, Thumbtack, and Houzz (real customers only), encourage homeowners to name the project manager or crew lead, keep your name, address, and phone consistent across listings, display your license, insurance, and BBB accreditation properly, and publish before-and-after project content that proves your work.
- 04
Monitor and maintain
Caught early.We watch your profiles so a new attack, a retaliation post, or a dispute-driven cluster is caught early, and keep review requests going as each project closes out so your profiles keep pace with your finished work.
Free to find out. You only pay after results.

Typical Timelines
How long does contractor reputation work take?
A contractor engagement runs on both tracks at once. Removal cases resolve on the timelines below, while post-job review flow and project content show first movement in weeks and compound from there. You get a case-specific estimate in writing before anything is filed.
Profanity, threats, or an obvious non-customer review is among the fastest to remove once documented.
A specific, verifiably false factual claim about a project, filed with proper documentation.
A wave of reviews from a competitor or tied to one dispute, documented as a pattern rather than one at a time.
A calm, factual reply and a resolved punch list show future clients how you handle problems.
Review requests after completed jobs and built-out Google, Angi, and Houzz profiles start showing within weeks, then compound as volume builds.
Before-and-after galleries and properly displayed license, insurance, and BBB credentials build gradually and keep winning jobs long after a removal case closes.

We made the mistake of not working with you sooner!! We have an ex employee that became a competitor about 5 years ago.

He launched an aggressive online campaign against us unbeknownst to us really until a month before we contacted you. I'm ashamed I didn't pay more attention to it. Thanks again for everything the entire team are doing to help us out!
Yes, absolutely! Whatever it takes! Thank you for your continued efforts! Your team has been fantastic to work with! We are referring others to you!

Contractor Reputation FAQs
Reputation Management for Contractors, Answered.
The same answers we give every contractor on their free consultation call.
Yes, when it violates the platform's guidelines. We win most often on reviews from people who never hired you, competitor postings, and fabricated factual claims about a project. A free assessment shows exactly what qualifies, and you pay only if it is removed.
Yes. Reviews from someone who was never a customer, including competitors, break the rules on Google and Yelp. When we can document the non-customer origin, these are among the most winnable cases, and we handle the evidence and submission for you.
That's review extortion, and Google has a dedicated form for reporting it. Preserve the messages, texts, emails, and voicemails, and send them to us. Documented review extortion is one of the more removable cases we handle.
Yes. BBB complaints often rank prominently for your business name. We address complaints that are fabricated, from non-customers, or that violate BBB's process, alongside the review platforms homeowners check.
It can. On Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack your rating can affect how often you're shown, and Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking. Removing reviews that are unfairly dragging your average down gives homeowners a more accurate picture when they compare bidders. Your own bid and close data shows the lift.
Yes. We set up review requests that go to real homeowners right after a job wraps, across Google, Angi, Thumbtack, and Houzz, when the finished work is fresh in their mind, and we encourage them to name the project manager or crew lead who did the work. Steady genuine volume is also your best protection, because the more real reviews you have, the less one unfair review moves your average.
We build what sits beside it: license and insurance credentials presented properly, and steady genuine review volume from completed jobs. And if fake reviews have dragged your rating down, the defend track removes them. Google runs its own screening for the badge.
Removal work has no upfront fee: you pay only after a specific review is confirmed removed. Build work (post-project review requests, profiles, credentials, and project content) is scoped and quoted in writing during your free consultation, before you commit to anything. The consultation shows which of your reviews qualify.
Yes. AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can summarize a contractor's review profile when homeowners ask for recommendations, sometimes before they open Angi or Google. Removing a review that breaks a platform's rules also removes it as a source, and complete profiles and project content give those tools something accurate to cite.
It can when it states something verifiably false that your contract, signed change orders, inspection sign-offs, or messages disprove, or when it includes threats or personal attacks. We show you the strength of the case before anything is filed. For the rest, a short factual reply that shows future clients how you handled it is the right tool.
We look for reviews from someone with no record of contacting you at all, from a competitor, or from a former employee. We match the reviewer against your estimates, call logs, and messages to tell the cases apart.
Where a listing shows an error, an expired status that has since been renewed, or a matter that was resolved, we ask the site to correct or update it through its own process. Beyond that, we build accurate results about your company, your license, your insurance, and your finished projects, so the record is not the only thing a homeowner finds.
Properly documented policy cases are often resolved within about 30 days. We give you a specific timeline for your situation during the free consultation.
Still not sure if your situation qualifies?
