Review request text examples for local service businesses

A review ask works best when it is short, timely, and easy to tap. Use these examples by trade, then swap in your name and review link.

The basic review request formula

Thank the customer, confirm the job went well, ask for a short review, and include one link. That is it.

Send the first ask soon after the job while the experience is fresh. If needed, send one soft reminder a few days later.

Ask only after a good experience.
Keep the text under a few sentences.
Use one clear review link.
Do not stack extra offers into the same message.

What not to do

Do not ask for a review in the same text where you are still resolving a complaint. Do not send repeated daily reminders. Do not tell people what star rating to leave.

Ask for honest feedback. Happy customers usually leave strong reviews when the ask is easy.
