Showed up late and didn't explain the pricing upfront. Work was fine but I expected better communication.
Owner response · via Argus
Robert, I appreciate the honest feedback. You're right that we should have communicated the timeline and pricing more clearly upfront — that's on us. I'd like to make it right. Please reach out directly at dave@trevoadvisors.com.

Why this matters

Unanswered reviews cost you
customers every day.

Google ranks businesses that engage with reviews higher. Homeowners read reviews AND responses before calling. Most contractors ignore both.

How Argus works

Set up once.
Every review answered.

Argus connects to your Google Business Profile and monitors for new reviews around the clock.

1

New review comes in

A customer leaves a review on your Google Business Profile — 5-star praise, a question, or a complaint.

2

Argus reads and responds

Argus reads the review context (star rating, sentiment, specific mentions) and crafts a personalized response that sounds like you — not a template.

3

Response posted publicly

The response goes live on your Google profile within hours. Future customers see an engaged, professional business owner who cares.

4

Negative reviews handled carefully

1-3 star reviews get a response that acknowledges the concern, offers to make it right, and moves the conversation offline — the approach that turns unhappy customers into loyal ones.

What's included

More than just reply buttons.

✍️

Personalized responses

Each response references the specifics of the review — not a copy-pasted "Thanks for your review!" that customers see through immediately.

📊

Weekly review summary

You get a weekly digest of all new reviews and responses — stay informed without spending time on it.

🎯

Keyword reinforcement

Argus naturally weaves your city name, trade, and services into responses — reinforcing the keywords Google uses to rank you locally.

🛡️

Reputation protection

Fake or unfair reviews get flagged for you to dispute. Argus also drafts a response that positions you professionally to other readers.

💬

Review request prompts

Argus generates a short "ask for a review" text you can send after completing jobs — growing your review count over time.

🎙️

Your voice, not a bot's

We tune Argus to your writing style and tone during onboarding. Responses sound like you — direct, warm, or professional, depending on your brand.

Pricing

Protect your reputation.
For less than a coffee a day.

One ignored 2-star review with no response costs you more than Argus does in a month.

Common questions

Before you sign up

Can I review responses before they're posted?
Yes — if you prefer, we can set Argus to draft-only mode where responses wait for your approval before going live. Most clients switch to auto-post after seeing the quality.
What happens if a review is fake or unfair?
Argus flags suspicious reviews and helps you submit a dispute to Google. It also drafts a calm, professional public response so other customers see your side of the story.
Will responses sound like a robot wrote them?
No. During setup we calibrate Argus to your tone — whether that's friendly and casual or professional and direct. We review several sample responses with you before going live.
Does this work for all review platforms?
Argus focuses on Google reviews, which is where 90%+ of contractor research happens. Yelp and Facebook reviews are on the roadmap.
How is $65/mo justified?
One job typically pays $350–$1,200. If Argus's consistent responses convert even one extra skeptical customer per month, it's paid for 6 months. Most clients also see improved Google ranking within 60 days.

Your competitors aren't responding.
That's your advantage.

Most contractors ignore their reviews. Argus makes you the professional who doesn't — and Google ranks businesses that engage.
