Review ask builder

Pick how you will ask and how you want to sound. You get three short asks to paste into a text or email, or to say at the counter, written to the same rules as our guide to asking for reviews.

Free, no sign-up, and nothing you type leaves this page.

How will you ask?

Text message Sent the same day, while it is fresh. Email A little longer, with a subject line. In person Words to say at the counter or the door.

Your business name

What you did for them

Your review link

Paste the link customers use to leave a review, from your Google Business Profile or Yelp page. Leave it empty and the asks tell people to find you online instead.

Your asks

3 versions

Version 1

Thanks for coming in! If you have a minute, an honest review helps other people find us. A few honest words online would help a lot.

Version 2

Hi, it was lovely to see you today. If you are happy to, would you share an honest review of us? A few honest words online would help a lot. No worries if not.

Version 3

Thanks for coming in. Would you tell others what it was like, good or bad? A few honest words online would help a lot. It takes about a minute.

The builder needs JavaScript to change the asks. The samples above are yours to copy by hand, and the full guide works without it.

Before you send it

Send it to every customer you served, not only the ones who seemed happy.
Offer nothing in return. Review sites ban paid and rewarded reviews.
Add your own name at the end, and ask once. Do not chase.

How these asks are written

Every ask is hand-written, not generated, and follows the same rules as our guide to asking for reviews. A good ask costs the customer a minute and costs you nothing to send.

Ask for an honest review, never a good one.
Make it easy: the link comes early, or the ask offers to send it.
Keep it short and make one request.
Offer nothing in return. No discount, gift or entry into a draw.
No pressure: no deadline, no guilt, and a clear "no worries" when it fits.
