Google review request software for B2B service businesses
Short answer: InvoiceStars is Google review request software for B2B service businesses that bill in QuickBooks Online. It queues an email 2 days (adjustable 0-30) after an invoice is paid in full, skips ap@ and billing@ style inboxes, and asks the contact on the customer record. The owner approves each request by default. Email today; text is coming soon.
This page focuses on invoices that go to accounts payable. For the broader B2B walkthrough, see B2B review requests: reach the right person.
1. Why an accounts-payable inbox is the wrong place to ask
In B2B work the invoice often goes to ap@, billing@, invoices@ or accounting@. The person who processes payment is rarely the person who hired you or sat through the project. A Google review request to that inbox is easy to ignore, and it asks someone who may not know the work.
The person to ask is the buyer, project contact or account owner — the name you actually worked with. Keep that person as the primary email on the customer record in QuickBooks Online, even when the invoice itself is addressed to accounts payable.
2. What to do when the invoice goes to AP
- Put the job contact's email on the QuickBooks customer as the primary email.
- Do not send the review request to ap@, billing@, invoices@ or accounting@ addresses.
- Wait until the invoice is paid in full. In B2B, payment can arrive weeks after delivery; a paid-in-full trigger still marks a closed job.
- Use the contact's first name and a direct Google review link.
- Ask every paid customer the same way. Do not filter by how happy you think they are, and do not offer a reward for a review.
InvoiceStars follows those rules when it queues a request: it skips ap@ and billing@ style inboxes and asks the contact on the customer record. Owner approval is on by default, so you can hold or reject a queued request if the contact still looks wrong.
3. How InvoiceStars handles B2B requests
- Trigger: a QuickBooks Online invoice paid in full (balance $0).
- Partial payments don't trigger a request. A deposit billed as its own invoice counts once that invoice is paid in full.
- Delay: 2 days after paid in full, adjustable from 0 to 30 days.
- Owner approval is on by default.
- Each customer is asked at most once in 90 days.
- At most one reminder, and only if the review link was not clicked.
- Skips ap@ and billing@ style inboxes.
- Email today; text is coming soon.
- 14-day free trial, then $25/mo per location.
