The right moment
The drop cloths are gone and the couch is back against the fresh wall. Send the request while you pack up, as the customer walks through the rooms.
Exterior work only really shows once the ladders are gone. Ask the next morning, after the homeowner has walked around the house once.
Landlords and property managers often never see the finished unit in person. An email with a thank you and the star buttons reaches them at their desk.
How it works
Review sites
Painters live on word of mouth, and people check that word on Google and Nextdoor. Angi and Thumbtack matter if you get jobs through them.

You leave the leftover paint for touch-ups anyway. Put the QR code on the can. When the customer fixes a scuff months later, the code is right there, and Citypicked counts every scan.

No. Texting works on its own. Each text uses one credit. Basic includes no SMS, Pro 50 SMS a month and Business 400, and packs add more credits. Email is handy for landlords and offices: Basic includes 300 email requests a month, Pro 1,000 and Business 2,500.
Not if it is short and friendly. You write the text in your own words and check the preview first. The default setting allows a single request per person every 30 days, and people who unsubscribe hear nothing further.
If your work spreads by word of mouth in the neighborhood, yes. Put it on your review page beside Google, and happy customers can pick either one.
Yes. The request then goes by email, with the stars to click right in the message. Basic includes 300 email requests a month, Pro 1,000 and Business 2,500, and extra ones can be booked. Every email carries an unsubscribe link.
SMS to the US and Canada need a sender number first. We set it up for you; it takes about a week. Email, WhatsApp and QR codes work from the first day.
