Ask Every Client You Complete a Job For.
Because BuildZoom weights reviews from clients who hired you through the platform more heavily than reviews collected elsewhere, asking right after project completion matters more than volume alone.
Ask every customer after a real experience — and if you need volume on a deadline, BuildZoom review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews.
Organic tactics that actually work
- Ask every client whose job you completed through BuildZoom for a review right after the job wraps — BuildZoom weights reviews from clients who hired you through the platform more heavily than reviews collected elsewhere.
- Want volume faster than organic requests? BuildZoom review packages start at $110 — copy written around your business, paced delivery, and free replacements for 30 days.
- Keep your license status current and verified with your state board — it’s the single heaviest-weighted factor in the score, and a lapse or suspension can cost up to 40 points.
- Upload permit documentation and project photos for completed work — verified, permitted history is one of the independent third-party signals the score draws on.
- Respond to project inquiries promptly and follow through on bids — response rate, bid rate, and hire rate feed the score directly, separate from reviews.
- Fill out every field on your BuildZoom profile — BuildZoom’s own guidance is that a more complete business profile supports a stronger score.
Want the volume without running requests yourself?
BuildZoom review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews — same published prices on every platform.
Frequently asked questions
Ask every client whose job you completed through BuildZoom for a review right after the project wraps — these carry more weight in the score than reviews from clients who found you elsewhere. Never tie the ask to a discount or other compensation, since BuildZoom’s Terms of Service prohibit incentivized reviews.
Not by itself — the score is a blend of license/permit status, BBB standing, marketplace behavior (response, bid, and hire rate), and reviews, with recent activity weighted more than older activity. Reviews matter, but they’re one input among several, not the whole calculation.
