Keep the Reviews Coming, Job After Job.
Because Recency and Responsiveness are two of the four inputs behind your Star Score, a steady request habit outperforms an occasional push — and HomeStars’ rules mean it has to be genuine either way.
Ask every customer after a real experience — and if you need volume on a deadline, HomeStars review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews.
Organic tactics that actually work
- Request a review right after each job wraps, while the experience is fresh — HomeStars recommends this to keep your Recency component current rather than relying on occasional bursts.
- Use the review-request tool in your Pro Dashboard rather than asking off-platform — and if you’re newer to HomeStars, you can add up to five reviews from customers you hired before joining, verified against a paid invoice.
- Want volume faster than organic requests? HomeStars review packages start at $110 — copy written around your business, paced delivery, and free replacements for 30 days.
- Respond to every review within about 24 hours, HomeStars’ own recommended window — Responsiveness is one of the four components behind your Star Score.
- Never pressure or bully a homeowner into removing or editing a review — HomeStars states this damages your Reputation component even when the homeowner complies.
Want the volume without running requests yourself?
HomeStars review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews — same published prices on every platform.
