A closer look
Recommendations work because they come from people who live nearby. Ask at the right moment, right after a job the customer loved, and send a direct link. Post occasional helpful tips, like how to prepare a home for winter, without pushing sales. When a neighbor asks for a recommendation and you are tagged, reply quickly with a friendly note and how to reach you.
