Quick FAQ

Can I offer a discount for a review?

No. Google prohibits incentives such as discounts, gifts or payments in exchange for reviews.

Should I ask every customer?

Yes, use the same respectful invitation for every genuine customer. Not everyone will review, but everyone should have the same opportunity.

How soon should I follow up?

A single friendly follow-up within a day or two is usually enough. Avoid repeated reminders.

How do I find my review link?

Your verified Google Business Profile can generate a direct review request link and QR code that opens the review flow.
