The #1 Mistake Inspectors Make After the Job Is Done (And How to Fix It in Under 60 Seconds)
You crushed the inspection.
Your report was clean, detailed, and on time.
The client and agent were thrilled.
But then… you disappear.
And just like that, you lose the chance to turn a one-time job into a referral, review, or repeat business.
This is the #1 mistake most inspectors make after the job is done — they don’t follow up.
Here’s why that’s costing you leads (and how to fix it in under 60 seconds).
1. Why Follow-Up Is More Important Than You Think
Once the inspection is complete, most clients assume the relationship is over.
But in reality, this is your best moment to reinforce value, gather a review, and stay top-of-mind for referrals.
Buyers are overwhelmed. Agents are distracted. You have a tiny window to stay memorable.
2. The Simple Follow-Up That Most Inspectors Miss
Here’s what most inspectors fail to do:
Send a thank-you message
Ask for a Google review
Share a helpful resource
Invite the client to stay connected
Without this, you’re just another contractor they’ll forget in 48 hours.
3. The 60-Second Fix: Automated Review Request
Set up a simple system to trigger a review request right after the job.
✅ Send a short “thank you” text or email
✅ Include a direct link to your Google review page
✅ Use warm language and keep it mobile-friendly
📌 Sample Text Message:
“Hi [First Name], thanks again for trusting us today! If you were happy with your inspection, would you mind leaving us a quick review? It really helps small businesses like ours. [Review Link]”
Automate this inside your Go High Level system, and it runs every time — hands-free.
4. Bonus: Review Keywords Help You Rank Higher on Google
When clients leave reviews with keywords like home inspector, thorough inspection, or fast report, Google notices.
Reviews with relevant phrases boost your visibility — meaning more buyers and agents will find you online.
