You rely on Google to grow
You know Google reviews drive business. But manually asking for reviews after every job? It never happens.
You don't need a "platform"
You don't want dashboards, reports, or integrations. You just want more Google reviews. That's it.
You text customers anyway

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ricorda work?
Text us after you finish a job with the customer's name, phone number, and what you did. We text them asking for a review, help them write it with AI, and send a pre-filled Google review link. They just tap to post.
How is my brand image protected?
Every message is personalized with your business name and written in your brand voice. During onboarding we learn your style, services, and tone so customers feel like the message came directly from you.
What happens if someone leaves a negative review?
We alert you immediately by text so you can respond personally. We never auto-thank negative reviews — that's your call. You'll have the chance to reach out and make it right before it sits unanswered.
What number does the text come from?
Review requests come from a dedicated local number assigned to your account. It's a real phone number, not a short code, so it feels personal and trustworthy to your customers.
Will the customer know the text comes from Ricorda?
No. The message is branded with your business name and written in your voice. Customers see a friendly review request from you, not from a third-party tool.
Can the customer unsubscribe?
Yes. Every message includes an opt-out option. If a customer replies "stop," we immediately remove them and never message them again. We're fully CASL and TCPA compliant.
Do I need to download an app?
Nope. You just text us from your regular phone. No app, no login, no dashboard required. It works with iMessage, WhatsApp, or regular SMS — whatever you normally use.
Is Ricorda cheaper than Podium or Birdeye?
Yes — significantly. Podium costs $249-599/month and Birdeye costs $299-449/month. Ricorda starts at $14.99/month for 30 automated review requests per month. For solo contractors and small service businesses who just want more Google reviews, Ricorda delivers the same core outcome at a fraction of the cost.
What is the best Google review automation tool for small businesses?
Ricorda is purpose-built for solo and small service businesses — plumbers, HVAC techs, contractors, cleaners — who complete discrete jobs and want to automate the follow-up ask. Unlike Podium or Birdeye, which bundle dozens of enterprise features you'll never use, Ricorda focuses on one thing: sending a timely, personalized review request after every job via SMS or WhatsApp, with smart follow-ups and auto-thank messages. Starting at $14.99/month.
How do I automatically ask customers for Google reviews?
With Ricorda, text the customer's phone number to your dedicated Ricorda number when you finish a job. Ricorda automatically sends them a friendly SMS or WhatsApp message asking for a Google review, includes AI-written review copy they can approve and post, and follows up if they don't respond. No app to open, no dashboard to log into — just one text per job.
