That’s about 16 reviews you already earned — still unasked.
What those extra reviews could turn into
Reviews don’t print money. They help the next person pick you. You set what a job is worth and how often an extra review might help close one.
Of 10 extra reviews this year, how many extra jobs might they help close?
Extra reviews this year: +16 · Extra jobs this year: about 1.6
Extra · Year 1
+$4,000
On top of what you already do. New asks only.
Extra · Year 2
+$6,000
On top of what you already do. New asks + last year’s reviews at half.
Extra · Year 3
+$7,000
On top of what you already do. New asks + older reviews fading.
Extra work over three years — added, not instead of
+$17,000
Extra work from reviews you never asked for, stacked as the listing gets heavier. You set the job size and the hire rate. We do not promise the dollars.
Each new year of asking adds another batch of reviews. Last year’s extras still help, at half strength. The year before that, at a quarter. Older reviews fade. This is an estimate from the numbers you set.
How the asks go out
After a job ends, Proof Engine writes a short review or referral note. You read it. You change it. You send it — or you don’t. Nothing goes to a customer without you.

Fifteen minutes with Charles. He will say if Proof Engine fits — or if it does not.
About 25 to 32 people out of 100 write a review when asked. That range comes from other studies, not from your firm. For restaurants, Harvard research tied a one-star Yelp increase to about 5–9% more revenue. That is restaurants, not your trade. The dollars here use the job size and hire rate you set.
