What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For HVAC companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

“Missed appointments are the most common complaint in this trade”
A technician running late without a call ahead generates more negative reviews in HVAC than almost any other single issue, and a simple notification habit prevents most of them.
“Reviews should be asked for at the moment of relief”
The best time to ask for a review is right after a breakdown is fixed and the customer feels the relief of a cooling home again, not days later.
“A public, factual reply to a complaint often does more good than the original good reviews”
A calm, specific response to a bad review about a delay shows a future customer how the company handles problems, which matters more than a perfect record.

What we do

What we deliver for HVAC companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

Appointment notification habit
A simple routine of notifying a customer when a technician is running behind schedule.
Result: Most complaints about missed appointments are prevented before they happen.
Timely review request
A request sent as soon as a repair is completed and the home is cooling again.
Result: A satisfied customer leaves a review while the experience is still fresh.
Complaint reply templates
Calm, factual reply templates for a delayed technician or a service issue.
Result: A future customer sees problems handled well, not defensively.
Review monitoring routine
A named person checks Google, JustDial and Facebook for new reviews on a set day, and drafts the reply.
Result: A single bad review does not sit long enough to shape a decision.
Technician review-request script
Wording and a link a technician can send once a job is closed, while it is still fresh in the customer's mind.
Result: Reviews build steadily instead of depending on a customer remembering.

What to do with each review

How to answer each kind of review an HVAC company gets.

Praise that names a technician: Thank them and pass the review to the technician. Mention the work, such as an AC service or a duct clean, and ask whether they would add whether the room cooled as expected.
An AC that is still not cooling after service: Check the job card, the gas pressure and the filter and coil work noted. Reply that you will send someone to look again, and do. Record readings at each visit so a repeat is easy to trace.
A complaint about the bill against the quote: Pull the quote and the job card. Reply with what was quoted and what was added, such as gas or a part. Give an itemised bill every time, with parts and gas listed.
Leakage or wall damage after an installation: Ask for photographs and compare them with your site photos. Reply that you will inspect the drain slope and piping. Take photographs before and after each installation.
A missed AMC visit: Check the visit schedule and the contract. Apologise, give the next date, and track visits in one list. Send a reminder before the visit is due.
A commercial client's complaint about downtime: Reply that you are reviewing the service record, and call the facilities head. Check the fault log for repeat visits on the same unit, and whether spares were on hand.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have never asked a customer for a review after a job, so there is nothing yet to protect beyond a bare listing.
A customer is still waiting for a repeat visit after a fault, and a public reply would only make the delay plain.
You want a review removed because it is unfair, which the platform decides and which a reply cannot achieve.

How it works

How the reputation management work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Search your name as a stranger would
We search the business, its main product names and the owner's name, on a phone and a laptop, and record what appears.
2
Catalogue every mention
Reviews, news, listings, social posts and forum threads are sorted into accurate and positive, accurate and negative, and wrong. Each group gets a different action.
3
Agree the replies and the owner of each
Replies are drafted and approved by you. Anything involving a refund, a clinical matter, a legal claim or a named employee goes to the right person in your business before anything is posted.
4
Fix what you control
Listings, profile details and your own pages are corrected, and pages worth ranking for your name are strengthened with accurate information.
5
Monitor and report
The agreed places are checked on the agreed schedule. The name search is repeated and compared with the first record.

Sales management

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

How do we get technicians to actually ask for reviews?

A short script and a simple link sent by WhatsApp right after the job, built into the closing step of every visit.

What if a review is unfair?

We help you draft a factual, calm reply, since a defensive or angry response usually does more damage than the original review.

A customer says the AC we installed is leaking and blames the brand. What do we say?

Do not blame the brand in public. Leakage often comes from drain slope, piping or installation, so inspect it first. Reply that you will visit, check the cause and fix what is yours. If it is a brand fault, raise the warranty claim for them.

A review says we charged for gas that was not needed. How do we reply?

Check the job card and the pressure reading. If the reading showed low gas, reply with that and offer to show the record. If not, correct it. Show the customer the reading and the quantity added before charging.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
