Ever finish a job, know the customer is happy, then freeze on how to ask for a Google review?
The wording is the blocker, not the ask.
1️⃣ Keep it to two sentences
2️⃣ Include your review link
3️⃣ Send through text or email
Copy, paste, done.
Honest reviews are the only ones worth asking for.
Review gating filters out your unhappy customers. Google's policy prohibits it. And the next customer reading your profile can usually tell.
Ask everyone. Reply to everyone. Let the rating reflect the work.
@BrianTalksOften the aggressive ask backfires. customers who felt pressured don't leave reviews, they just avoid you next time. a simple follow-up with a direct link works better than pushing harder.
Your reputation isn't your loudest unhappy customer.
The only people motivated enough to post are often the ones with a complaint.
Consistent, honest review invitations let the silent majority of satisfied customers show up too.
