How the Review Request Text Writer works
Fill in your business, your name, the customer's name, what you did and your review link. The three texts below update as you type.
Text 1 is quick and works best right after the job. Text 2 is a little more personal. Text 3 is a gentle follow-up to send once if you don't hear back.
Your review link usually comes from your Google Business Profile, under the option to ask for reviews. Paste it in so customers land right on the review box.
Each text shows its length. Texts over 160 characters may arrive in more than one part on some phones, which is fine.
Tips from the trade
- Ask within a day of the job, while the customer still remembers how good it looked.
- Ask everyone. Picking only the customers you think are happy is against Google's rules, and honest reviews build more trust.
- Reply to every review, good or bad, with a short thank-you. Future customers read the replies too.

Review Request Text Writer questions
How do I ask a customer for a review by text?
Keep it short and friendly: use their name, thank them, ask if they'd mind leaving a quick review, and include the link. This tool writes three versions for you.
When is the best time to ask for a review?
Right after the job or the next day, while the work is fresh. For regular customers, any time after a few good visits works well.
Where do I find my Google review link?
In your Google Business Profile, look for the option to ask for reviews. It gives you a short link that opens the review box.
Can I offer a discount for reviews?
Google doesn't allow offering anything in exchange for reviews. A simple, honest ask works and keeps you within the rules.
