Turn happy customers into testimonials.

A short customer quote can help future leads trust you faster. Ask happy customers for a testimonial you can use on your website, proposals, or flyers.

Ask for Testimonials

Reviews and testimonials are different

A review is usually posted on a public site so other local customers can find you. A testimonial is a quote you can place on your own website, proposal, or marketing materials.

Many businesses need both. A review builds public proof. A testimonial gives you words you can reuse with permission.

Ask while the experience is fresh

The easiest testimonials come right after a strong job. Ask for one or two sentences about the result, the process, or why they would recommend you.

Make it optional and easy. Some customers prefer to reply by text. Others may want a quick call.

  • Ask after a successful job
  • Request a short quote, not a long essay
  • Get permission to use their name or first name and town
  • Offer to draft something based on what they already told you, then let them approve it

Use testimonials alongside other follow-ups

The same happy customers may also leave a review, send a referral, or book again later. Testimonials are one more way to get value from good work you already did.

Example testimonial request texts

Simple testimonial ask
Hi [FirstName], thanks again for choosing [BusinessName] for your [Service]. Would you be open to sharing a short testimonial we could use on our website?
Guided prompt
Hey [FirstName], glad the [Service] went well. If you have a minute, could you send 1 or 2 sentences about your experience with [BusinessName]?
Permission follow-up
Hi [FirstName], thanks for the kind words. Mind if we use that as a short testimonial for [BusinessName]?

Frequently Asked Questions

What if a customer would rather leave a public review?

That is still a win. Point them to your review link, or run a review request campaign instead.

How long should a testimonial be?

One or two sentences is usually enough. Short quotes are easier for customers to write and easier for you to use.
