Review Request System for Local Businesses (Scripts + Timing)

Reviews are a conversion tool and a local SEO asset. The key is consistency, not one-time asking.

Quick Start (today)

Pick one “ask moment” that happens after a good outcome (completed job, resolved issue, successful visit). Ask within 24 hours.

The 3 best times to ask

1) Right after a win

When the customer is happiest, asking feels natural.

2) After you deliver proof (photos, report, summary)

When you share value, it’s a good moment to request a review.

3) After a follow-up check-in

A simple “How did everything go?” message can lead into a review ask.

Scripts you can copy

Short text script

“Thanks again for choosing us. If you have 30 seconds, could you leave a quick review? It helps local customers find us.”

Email script

“We appreciate your business. If we earned it, would you share a short review? It helps us improve and helps others feel confident.”

Action Box: review routine checklist

- Choose one ask moment and make it standard - Ask within 24 hours of the win - Keep the message short - Thank the customer regardless - Respond to reviews weekly - Add reviews to key pages (home/services)

Example scenario

A local clinic adds a “review ask” to their follow-up message. Within a month, they build a steady stream of new reviews and see more trust-driven calls.
