Route-based sending
Finish Mrs. Henderson’s pool at 2pm. Text her the review link at 2:05. small Talk works from any phone — your office, your truck, or the tech on-site.
For pool companies
Your customers love the crystal-clear water. Getting them to say so on Google is the hard part.
small Talk is pool company review software. Customers answer a few quick questions about the cleaning, repair, or construction work. small Talk drafts the review from their answers. They edit anything, copy it, and post it to Google themselves.

Why reviews stall
Pool customers are busy. And they hate writing reviews.
You cleaned the pool. The chemistry’s perfect. The customer is happy. You send a review request text. They open it, see a blank Google review box asking them to write an essay about chemical balance, and they close the app.
The next time they see your truck in the neighborhood, they think “I should leave them a review.” They don’t.
Whether you have 47 reviews or just four, the problem is the same. A wall of “great service” reviews doesn’t win you the next customer comparing you to three other pool companies. Detailed reviews give both homeowners and Google more useful context about the services, people, and area you serve.
Built for your work
Built for how pool companies actually work.
Tech attribution built in
Your customers remember the person. “Marcus did a great job” is worth more than “great service.” small Talk lets reviews mention the actual tech who showed up — naturally, because that’s what the customer said.
Seasonal-friendly pricing
One flat price includes 500 customer requests each month. Send more in June, less in December, and add 100 for $25 when a busy stretch actually needs it. They stay until used.
The difference
From “great service” to reviews that actually sell.

Crystal Clear Pools has been taking care of our pool for the past six months and we couldn’t be happier. Marcus is our regular tech and he’s always on time, friendly, and thorough. He explains everything he’s doing and answers all our questions about chemistry. The water has never looked better. Highly recommend them for anyone in the Austin area looking for reliable pool service.

Honest by design
Pool season gets rough. Honest reviews still matter.
Sometimes the algae bloom wins. Sometimes a repair takes three visits. Sometimes the customer’s unhappy and you need to know — without them blasting you on Google.
small Talk gives every customer a real choice. They can post publicly, even negatively. Or they can send their feedback directly to you. No review gating. No hidden routing. Just a business owner who actually wants to hear when something goes wrong.

Before you start
Questions from pool businesses.
Does this work for one-man operations and route-based techs?+
Yes. small Talk works from any phone. Solo operators send review links from their truck. Multi-tech crews send from the office or assign the send to the tech who finished the job. No special setup.
What about seasonal businesses? Do I pay for months I’m not working?+
Yes, it’s a flat $79/month year-round with 500 customer requests included each month. Need more during the busy season? Add 100 requests for $25, and they stay until used.
Can I include the tech’s name in the review?+
Yes. small Talk lets customers select the tech who did the work. Their name shows up naturally in the generated review — because the customer is actually saying they liked that specific person.
Will it integrate with Jobber/Housecall Pro/my scheduling software?+
Native integrations are on the roadmap. For now, you can send links manually after each job in about 10 seconds. If you want an API or Zapier-style workflow, contact us and we’ll help you decide what is possible today.
My customers are mostly older. Will they figure it out?+
Yes — and this is actually where small Talk shines. Older customers are the ones who freeze at the blank Google review box. Our flow is tap-based, not type-based. No keyboard required until the final optional note. If grandma can text her grandkids, she can use small Talk.
