Reviews shouldn't be this hard to get.
So we built the simplest way for contractors to turn happy customers into the reviews that win the next job.
Hi, I'm Andrew.
I built Kudos because I kept seeing the same thing: hard-working contractors doing five-star work, losing jobs to competitors who just happened to have more reviews. The work was better — the reputation online wasn't. That gap is fixable, and Kudos is how I fix it for you.
When you work with Kudos, you're not getting a faceless platform. You're getting me — someone who answers the phone, helps you get set up, and actually cares whether it's working for your business.
Every contractor knows the feeling. You do great work, the customer's thrilled, they say "I'll leave you a review" — and then life happens and they never do. Meanwhile the competitor down the street, who isn't any better at the actual job, shows up first on Google because they've got more stars next to their name.
That's the problem Kudos exists to fix. Not with a bloated marketing suite you'll never have time to learn, but with one focused tool that does the asking for you — automatically, after every job, by text and email, with a one-tap link straight to your Google page.
Built for contractors, on purpose
Kudos isn't a general-purpose review platform that happens to work for trades. It's built specifically for home-service businesses — plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, remodelers — the folks whose next job genuinely depends on what shows up when someone searches "near me." Everything works from your phone, sets up in minutes, and runs in the background while you run the work.
Independent and founder-run
Kudos is independent and founder-led. That means two things for you: the product stays simple and focused instead of getting buried under features nobody asked for, and when you need help, you reach a real person who actually cares whether it's working — not a ticket queue. We answer the phone for the same reason our customers want more reviews: because reputation is everything.
Where we're headed
We're growing deliberately, one contractor at a time, and building the roadmap around what real customers tell us they need — referrals, deeper integrations, and more ways to turn great work into steady growth. If that's the kind of partner you want in your corner, we'd love to earn your business.
