Testimonials for garage door companies

How it works

1. 1

   Share one link

   You get a single link. Send it by text or email to a client whose work went well.

2. 2

   They write it, in a minute

   No account and no app to download. They rate you and write a couple of lines.

3. 3

   You approve what appears

   Nothing is public until you say so. Approve the good ones and they appear on your website automatically.

When to ask

As soon as the door cycles smoothly and quietly for the first time.

The single biggest reason garage door companies have no testimonials is that nobody asks while the work is still fresh, not that clients are unwilling.

Questions that get a real answer

“Please leave a review” produces “great service”, which persuades nobody. Ask something specific instead:

• What happened when the door failed?
• How soon could we get to you?
• How does it sound now compared to before?

Exalted gives you the link. Send the text at the moment above, not a week later.

What good looks like

An example of the kind of thing garage door companies collect with Exalted.

Illustrative, not a real client. Every testimonial Exalted publishes is written by a real person and approved by the business owner.

Your reputation, as a ladder

Each approved testimonial moves you up a tier, so you have a reason to keep asking. Visitors see the tier and know how established you are.

Pricing

Starter is $9 a month or $85 a year. Pro is $19 a month or $180 a year. Both are free until your fifth testimonial, and neither asks for a card to begin.
