Customer Rating — what customers think

Your Customer Rating is the most visible metric — it's the star rating customers see on your profile.

How it's calculated

After each clean, customers can rate you from 1 to 5 stars. Your Customer Rating is the simple average of your most recent 100 ratings.

No weighting, no formulas — just the straightforward average.

What affects it

  • Star ratings from customers (1–5)
  • Only the most recent 100 ratings count

What does NOT affect it

  • Tips — Whether a customer tips has zero impact on your rating
  • Written feedback — Comments are for your reference, they don't change the number
  • Customer cancellations — No rating = no impact

Tier thresholds

  • 3.5 to reach Trusted
  • 4.0 to reach Preferred
  • 4.5 to reach Top Rated
  • Below 3.5 triggers an At Risk flag

How to improve

  • Follow the cleaning checklist — it covers the things customers care about most
  • Communicate proactively (e.g., "I noticed a stain on the carpet that won't come out — just wanted to let you know")
  • Be consistent across visits. Customers rate reliability as much as quality
  • Small touches matter — neatly arranged cushions, folded towels, a sparkling sink
  • If feedback mentions a specific area, focus on that next time
