For every trade
Your Google reviews, turned into videos. And what a review video for a tradesman actually is.
One 5 star review a day, made into a short video and posted on your YouTube. People check you out before they ring, so let them see what your customers say.
Every plan also comes with a simple CRM for your quotes, invoices and customers. Use it when you want it. Your data stays yours.

A review video is one of your customer reviews, shown on a phone screen as a short film. It takes the words a real customer wrote about your work and puts them where people will actually watch them.
A star rating says you are good. A review video lets a stranger read it in the words of somebody like them.
What is in one review video
- One real review. The words of a single 5 star Google review, word for word, from your own listing.
- The reviewer's first name. A review with a name on it reads as a person, not a slogan.
- Your business name. So anybody who sees it knows exactly who the customer is talking about.
- The shape of a phone. Upright, the way YouTube Shorts are made, so it fills the screen it is watched on.
- Short. Long enough to read the review at an easy pace, and no longer.
There is nothing to record and no camera to point at yourself. If you have a review, you already have everything a review video needs.
Why a tradesman would want one
Almost nobody books a tradesman cold any more. They get your name from a neighbour or a search, and then they check you out. They look at your Google listing, your website if you have one, and whatever turns up when they type your name.
A row of stars is easy to scroll past. A real customer saying in their own words that you turned up on time and left the place clean is much harder to ignore. A video carries that sentence to people who would never open your review list and read it.
Your best salesman is a customer who was pleased. A review video lets them do the talking every day.
How DrSaaS makes them
You connect your Google listing and your YouTube channel. That is two buttons, once. From then on DrSaaS finds your 5 star reviews and makes one video a day from them.
Each new video waits in DrSaaS until you tap Approve. Nothing goes on your channel without you seeing it first, and you can stop any video before it goes. On the Pro plan you can let it post by itself, so you never have to tap at all.
Your first one costs nothing and needs no sign up. On the homepage you type your business name and town, or paste your website or your Google Maps link. You tap your business when it appears, pick a look, and the video is made in front of you for you to download.
Where the videos go
On the Reviews and Pro plans every video is uploaded to your own YouTube channel for you, as a Short. It is your channel and your video, so you can share its link anywhere: on your website, in a quote email, or in a WhatsApp to a customer who is still deciding.
On the Free plan you download each video yourself and post it wherever you like. Free videos end with a short DrSaaS ending. Paid videos do not.
Posting to Facebook and Instagram is being built and is not live yet. Today the automatic upload goes to YouTube only.
When the fresh reviews run out
Most businesses have a few dozen good reviews, not hundreds. At one video a day that list gets used up. The Pro plan keeps a video going every day anyway: you upload the photos from that day's job in the evening and a video is made from them, whatever your trade.
The better answer is more reviews to begin with. The how to ask a customer for a review page has messages you can copy tonight. For why the reviews themselves matter so much on the map, see how to get more Google reviews.
Make my free videoQuestions
Do I need to film anything for a review video?
No. A review video is made from the words of a review you already have, so there is nothing to film. Photos of your own jobs only come into it on the Pro plan, when the fresh reviews run out.
Can a review video use a review from somewhere else?
No. Every video is made from a real 5 star review on your own Google listing and shows the first name of the customer who wrote it. Nothing is invented and nothing is borrowed from another business.
Is it fine to put a customer's review on YouTube?
A Google review is already public, posted by the customer under the name they chose, and the video shows only their first name. If a customer ever asks you to take one down, delete it from your YouTube channel.
What happens to my videos if I stop paying?
They stay on your YouTube channel. They were posted to your channel, not ours, so nothing is taken down when you leave, and there is no contract to end.
What it costs
The free video needs no card. Reviews is £19.99 a month and posts one review video a day on your YouTube. Pro is £49 a month and adds videos of your own jobs. See the three plans.
