Review request text writer for handymen
Short answer: Fill in your business name, the customer's first name and your Google review link, and get 3 short texts you can send right after a job. The best time to ask is within an hour of finishing.
Where to find your review link
In your Google Business Profile, choose Ask for reviews and copy the link. Use the same link in every text so customers land straight on the review box.
Rules that keep you safe
- Ask every customer, not just the happy ones. Filtering out unhappy customers before asking breaks Google's rules.
- Never offer a discount or gift for a review.
- Only text customers who gave you their number for the job.
Questions
When should I ask for a Google review?
Right after the job, ideally within the hour, while the customer is still pleased and has their phone in hand.
Can I ask only happy customers?
No. Google's rules ban review gating. Ask every customer.
Should I follow up?
One polite reminder a couple of days later is fine. Stop there.
