Word of mouth,
with receipts.
Your customers already swear by you. After every job, each one gets their own link by text or email. When a friend books and pays, your customer gets the thank-you you set. You see exactly who sent who.

Why it works
Good customers send good customers.
Most of your best customers came from someone saying “call these folks.” That only happens when people remember. Swear By makes sure they remember.

How it works
Three steps.
Nothing to remember.
- Step 1
Job done. Link sent.
Every customer gets their own link when the job is done. Your tech can sign them up in the driveway.

A text to a neighbor, Facebook, Nextdoor, a QR on the fridge. Every link knows who sent it.

A friend books. You get the receipt.
Once the job earns it, your customer gets the thank-you you set by Venmo, PayPal, bank or gift card. We collect the W-9s. You get a 1099 export.

Straight answers
What if the friend just calls me instead of using the link?
Ask who sent them, like you do now. New customers who came in without a link wait under “Who referred you?” on your Leads tab. Pick the customer who sent them, and that customer gets the same thank-you.
How much should I offer as a thank-you?
We suggest $50 a friend for regular work like cleaning or lawn care, and $100 for bigger jobs like a roof or an AC install. You can change it any time. You only pay it when the friend's job is paid.
I'm not good with tech. Who sets this up?
We can, with you. On one call we set your thank-you, load your customer list and connect your CRM if it's one we work with. Or set it up yourself in about 10 minutes. Setup is included either way. After that, adding a customer takes a couple of taps.
Why would my customers bother?
People like sending a friend to someone good. A thank-you makes you easy to remember.
Will my customers actually get paid?
Yes. You load money in ahead of time, and we pay your customer once their friend's job is done and paid.
What do my customers see?
A thank-you, then a “refer a friend” page in your name, under your logo, with a small “made with Swear By” at the bottom. Nobody, friends included, sees the word “ad”.
Is paying for referrals legal?
Generally, yes, and we handle the rules for you. Texts go only to people who say yes to them, and the share text we write tells friends your customer gets a thank-you. Florida bars thank-yous on work paid by property insurance, like many storm-damage roofs, so Swear By won't pay those there.
Should I stop my Google ads?
No. Run Swear By alongside them for a few months and see what each new customer costs you on each. Results puts them side by side. Then put your money where new customers cost less.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Settings > Export gives you your people, referrals, thank-yous and payouts as CSV files, any time.
