For architecture and design firms
After design sign-off, the permit set, or the final punch walk, Good Work Reviews drafts a short note. You approve it. Then the client can leave a Google or Houzz review — or send a referral.
Nothing reaches a client until you say yes.

Needs your approval
Hi Priya —
Thanks again for trusting us with the house — from the first sketches to the last walk-through.
If you have a minute, would you leave a short review on Google or Houzz? Here’s the link: Review link
If a friend is thinking about hiring an architect — for a home or a remodel, here’s a short link you can send them — or fill in their name yourself: Referral link
— Dana at Fieldstone Architects
No note goes out until you approve it.
When to send
When the note goes out: after design sign-off, when the permit is in hand, or after the final punch walk. You pick the milestones. You approve every note.
Client said yes to the design — good time to ask
Drawings done, permit issued
Last site visit done — the building is real
Client can feel it’s finished
One note per milestone you pick. No follow-up nagging unless you send it.

FAQ
Google for most local search. Houzz if you do homes and already use it. You pick the link in the note.
After a milestone the client can feel is done — design signed off, permit in hand, punch walk done — or once at the end. Not mid-design. You pick which milestones get a note, and you approve each one.
Asking is fine. Paying for reviews, writing fake ones, or sending review requests only to happy clients is not. Good Work Reviews never does those.
Those tools are built for high-volume local shops. Good Work Reviews is for firms where one client relationship lasts years. By default you approve every note; automation is optional and unlocks after you’ve approved and sent five notes yourself — not on day one.
