How do I ask for a Google review?
Most happy customers would leave a review if someone asked them at the right moment. The reason trades and cleaning businesses don't have many is almost never that the work was bad — it's that nobody asked, or the ask arrived three days later in a generic email that read like a mailshot.
The message below is written to sound like a person, not a company. It goes out the same day, it names the customer, and it names whoever did the work — because "Dan who cleaned your oven is asking" gets far more responses than "we would value your feedback".
Fill in the details, pick text or email, and copy the wording out.
You'll need somewhere for the review to land. The Google review link generator turns your Maps listing into a direct link — and a QR code you can leave with the customer.
