The job went well
Ask a happy customer for a Google review
A short ask that is easy to say yes to and easy to ignore.
Why it matters
85% of consumers say positive reviews make them more likely to use a business, and 51% of homeowners name reviews as a top factor when hiring.

Use it when
The customer said they were happy. Ask the same day while it is fresh.
The instruction
Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot and fill in the [brackets]. The rules at the end are what stop it from guessing.
Write a short text asking a customer for a Google review. Easy to say yes to, easy to ignore. Do not offer anything in exchange. Customer name: [name] What we did: [job] Something they said they liked: [detail] Review link: [your link] Rules: use only the facts I give you and my business fact sheet if I shared it. Do not invent prices, warranty terms, diagnoses, code requirements, dates or promises. Mark anything I did not confirm with [brackets] and list it under the draft. Keep it short and friendly, like a local business owner wrote it. Write the draft first, then ask me at most one question.
Worked example
What you paste
Customer: Mr. Alvarez. We cleared the main line and ran a camera. He liked that the tech showed him the video and explained it. Link: g.page/r/your-link
Example draft
Hi Mr. Alvarez, thanks again for having us out to clear the main line. Glad the camera video helped explain what was going on. If you have a minute, a quick Google review would mean a lot to our small team: g.page/r/your-link. Thanks either way!
Confirmed
- Main line cleared, camera run
- He liked seeing the video
