Hi Karen, thanks for choosing Ridgeline for your water heater replacement today.

Care Tips
  • Give the system a few hours to heat the full tank before expecting hot water everywhere.
  • Check the floor around the unit for the first 48 hours — a dry base means a clean install.

The problem

The happy customers don't post. The frustrated ones always do.

You pulled the truck out at 9 p.m., drove across town in the rain, and had them back up and running by midnight. They thanked you, paid the invoice — and you never heard from them again.

Meanwhile the one customer who thought the bill ran high wrote a 400-word review on their lunch break the next day. Now it's sitting at the top of your profile, and three neighbors have already seen it.

Only 1 in 10 satisfied customers leaves a review unprompted. Unhappy ones post nearly 4× more often.

How it works

Three steps. No babysitting.

01 step 01

Reach every customer.

After every job, the customer gets a personalized aftercare message — filter reminders after an HVAC install, watering schedule after a new landscape, what-to-watch-for after a roof repair. They reply with thanks, leave a review, or tell you privately what went wrong — before it goes public.

Hi Karen, thanks for choosing Ridgeline for your water heater replacement today.

Care Tips
  • Give the system a few hours to heat the full tank before expecting hot water at every tap.
  • Watch the floor around the unit for the first 48 hours — a dry base means the fittings are sealed.
  • Flush the tank once a year to clear sediment and keep efficiency high. We can handle it, or you can DIY.

Any questions about the install? Just reply to this message — we're here to help.

Reviews with photos get even more visibility.

One message is easy to ignore. A thoughtful sequence isn't.

A check-in hours after the job wraps. A gentle follow-up a week later. A review ask if things are going well. If they reply unhappy, the sequence stops and the conversation routes straight to you.

The things owners ask us before they sign up.

Under 10 minutes. Connect your Google listing, pick the trades and services your crew runs, and you're ready to send.

No. AI drafts every message, every review response, and every follow-up. You review and send.

No. Buzz5 runs alongside what you already use. Import customers via CSV or our API, or add them by hand in a few seconds.

Yes. Pick the services each tech runs, and Buzz5 sends the right aftercare for each job — filter reminders after a furnace tune-up, break-in tips after a new water heater, curing notes after roof repair.

Those are usually your best reviews — you showed up when nobody else would. Buzz5 sends the aftercare message after the job wraps, whatever time of day.

The message invites them to reply privately. They vent to you before they vent to Google — and you get the chance to fix it first.

A short sequence tied to one job — usually 2 or 3 messages — that stops the instant they reply, leave a review, or opt out. No ongoing marketing, no newsletters, no messages between jobs.

No. Month-to-month, cancel any time, and your customer data exports with one click.

Yes. Consent tracking, one-click opt-out, and data export and deletion are built in.
