Top pickReputation Resolutions scored 93 out of 100Results-based reputation repair, improvement and protection on Google and AI. Pay only after results. A+ BBB Accredited. Since 2013.
That makes two jobs: defend against reviews that break platform rules, and build a flow of honest reviews from completed jobs. Reputation Resolutions argues that removal-only work leaves nothing strong behind it, and that review software alone leaves a fake review in place. Ask any firm which half it does.
The five firms in the table have a page for home services or for specific trades. Reputation Rhino has one for each of roofing, plumbers, HVAC repair, electricians, locksmiths and construction.
The evidence
What Each Firm's Own Page Says
Each firm below has a page on its own site that addresses home services companies and trades. The firms are listed alphabetically here, and the ranking above orders them by score.

Want an expert to look at your situation today?Reputation Resolutions reviews what is showing up and tells you plainly what can change. Free, confidential, no obligation.
A review comes down when it breaks the site's rules. A pricing dispute taken public is usually opinion, and a calm reply is the better move.
Google's contributor policy lists fake engagement and conflict of interest as violations, and gives industry competitors as an example of a conflict of interest. Reviews or ratings that have been paid for, directly or in kind, are not allowed. Google's Business Profile help says not to report a review because you disagree with it, and that Google does not get involved in conflict between businesses and customers.
Reputation Resolutions lists the kinds of review it works on for home services: people who never hired you, competitor and former-employee postings, wrong-business reviews, personal attacks and false statements of fact. It also says some reviews are real feedback that cannot come down.
A competitor's review can raise a conflict of interest.
A review for a different business with a similar name is a wrong-business question.
A real customer upset about the price is opinion. Reply, offer to talk and fix the cause.
Never ask customers to review in exchange for a discount.
Limits
What a Firm Can Change for a Home Services Company, and What It Cannot
A firm can challenge rule-breaking reviews and help you collect real ones. It cannot turn a bad job into a good one.
What can often change
Fake, competitor or wrong-business reviews, reported with evidence
Missing or inconsistent profiles in the towns you serve
A steady review request after each completed job
Honest replies to the honest reviews that stay
What usually cannot
An honest review about a job that went badly
A platform decision not to remove a review
A review that simply states an opinion about price
Anything promised before the firm has seen the reviews
Hiring
Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Firm
Trades have busy seasons and thin margins. These questions protect both.
Can I pause in the slow season?
Thrive says it offers seasonal pricing so a company can pause and relaunch. Ask any firm whether you can.
How do you collect reviews after a job?
The request should reach every customer, in plain words, with no reward.
Do you cover my trade and my towns?
Ask for examples from your trade and a list of the profiles you will cover.
How is it priced, and what counts as a result?
Compare the pricing column in the table and get the result in writing.
Who answers the angry review?
A reply from the owner or a trained person, in plain words, tends to read better than a template.
How we scored this
How We Chose and Scored the Firms on This List
A firm appears here only when its own site has a page that addresses home services companies and trades. Then it is scored on the same five criteria as every list on this site.
28points
Criterion 1
Pricing model and risk to the client
The pricing model sets the firm's incentives. A retainer is paid whether or not the problem moves. Results-based pricing shifts the risk to the firm.
10: results-based or pay-on-result pricing for removal work, with the result agreed in writing
7: project or fixed-scope pricing with a written scope
4: monthly retainer only
2: "custom pricing" with no model described
0: no pricing information on the site
22points
Criterion 2
Verified trust records
Third-party records a buyer can check in one click.
BBB: Accredited with A+ = 5, A+ not accredited = 4, A or A- = 3, B range = 2, profile with lower or NR = 1, no profile = 0
Google Partners directory listing = 3
Profile with at least one review on Clutch, The Manifest, GoodFirms or UpCity = 2
17points
Criterion 3
Transparency about who they are
Firms that name their people and location are accountable.
Named founder or leadership with photos = 3
Street address on the site = 2
Phone number on the site = 1
Named team beyond the founder = 2
Terms or engagement page describing the process = 2
17points
Criterion 4
Track record you can date
Longevity is a weak but real signal, and it is checkable.
Founding year stated and confirmed by Wayback or a registry: 13+ years = 10, 10 to 12 = 8, 7 to 9 = 6, 4 to 6 = 4, under 4 = 2
Year stated but not confirmable = half points
No year = 0
16points
Criterion 5
Service fit for the problems people bring
A buyer needs the firm to cover their problem.
One point each for a dedicated public page on: news article removal, review removal or disputes, search suppression, review management, social media removal, mugshot or record removal, executive or personal reputation, crisis response, AI answer reputation, monitoring
The page requirement is an entry test. It decides who is in the table. It does not decide the order, and it is not a measure of how well a firm serves home services companies and trades. Every score links to the page or public record behind it, with the date we looked. Read the full methodology.
No firm here is scored on experience with this audience
Experience with one audience is not a scored criterion, because we cannot check it from outside. Treat it as a first call question, using the list above.

Only if the review breaks the site's rules, for example fake engagement or a conflict of interest. Report it with evidence. Google also offers a one-time appeal if a report is rejected.
Google's policy lists conflict of interest as a violation and gives industry competitors as an example. You still need evidence, and the platform decides.
Ask every customer after each completed job, in plain words, with a direct link. Do not offer a discount or a gift, because Google does not allow reviews that have been paid for, directly or in kind.
Thrive says on its home services page that it offers seasonal pricing so you can pause during slow seasons and relaunch in high seasons. Ask any other firm directly.
Then it will not come down. Reply calmly, say what you have changed and keep collecting honest reviews so one complaint sits among many.
