Grow your house manager career on verifiable references
Private household work runs on trust and word of mouth. Keep that word of mouth somewhere a family can actually read it.

The reviews you earn go to the agency
House managers, estate managers and personal assistants are hired almost entirely on references — and references live in a placement agency's file, or in a phone call you have to arrange every time.
The result is a career of excellent work with almost no public, checkable record of it.
The gap: a business rating answers “is this place any good?”. It never answers “is this house manager any good?” — which is the only question your next client is actually asking.

What clients say when the review has your name on it
Example reviews showing how clients talk about a house manager once the feedback lives on the house manager's profile instead of the agency's page.
“Sent by the agency the first time, booked the house manager directly after that. Their profile had the proof I needed.”
Tom H.
One-off job
“I've recommended this house manager to three neighbours — I just send the profile link instead of retelling the story.”
Ravi P.
Referred by a neighbour
“Every job photographed and reviewed in one place. Much better than a five-star rating for a company I never meet.”

Reviews that stay with the house manager, not the agency
Example reviews shown for illustration. Real reviews on Kleos are verified and attributed to the client who left them.
Does this compete with Google reviews?
No, and it should not. Google reviews belong to the business and help it get found — keep asking for them. Kleos records the part Google cannot: which house manager did the work. The same client can review the agency on Google and review you on Kleos in the same minute.
If you want the Google side sharper too, our how to ask for a google review: 18 scripts covers the ask, the timing and the follow-up rules.
