Zovku texts your customers after every job. Happy ones go straight to Google. Unhappy ones stay private — so you can fix it before it goes public.
Three steps. No tech degree. A plumber set it up in 20 minutes — you can too.
After completing a job, type the customer's mobile number into your Zovku dashboard. Takes 10 seconds. Or connect your booking software to do it automatically.
Your customer gets a friendly text from your business name. They tap their star rating on a simple mobile page — no app download, no account required.
4–5 stars? They get a direct link to your Google listing. 1–3 stars? They see a private feedback form — and you get an email so you can sort it before it becomes a problem.
Happy customers say nothing. Unhappy ones write novels on Google. Zovku fixes the imbalance by automatically prompting every satisfied customer — right when the job is fresh in their mind.
"We went from 23 reviews to 89 in three months." Mike's Plumbing went from 3.8 stars to 4.9 in 90 days — not by doing better work, but by finally asking for feedback every time.
The routing happens on our servers — not in the browser. Unhappy customers (1–3 stars) never see your Google link. They see a private feedback form instead. You get an email. You fix it. They move on.
"Had an unhappy client, Zovku caught it." Sarah from Restore Physio rang the client back, sorted it out, and they came back and left a 5-star review instead. That's the whole product right there.
NZ's Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 requires every marketing SMS to include sender identification and a working opt-out. Zovku handles all of that automatically — sender name, STOP keyword handling, 30-day cooldowns, hashed opt-out storage.
STOP is permanent. Cooldowns are enforced. Opt-outs are hashed. We built this for NZ businesses, not US ones. No other review tool in this price range has done this work.
Powerful enough to actually move your Google rating. Simple enough to use in five minutes flat.
You've done the hard part — delivering a great service. Zovku makes sure that actually shows up on Google. Start collecting reviews from your very next job.
