Ask Customers at the Right Time

Request feedback after a genuine interaction, such as a completed purchase, successful appointment, or delivered service.

Make the request convenient, polite, and optional.

Use Google's Official Review Link

Google Business Profile provides ways for eligible businesses to share a review link or QR code.

Place the link in appropriate customer communications, such as follow-up emails or receipts, without pressuring customers to leave a particular rating.

Provide Excellent Customer Service

A positive customer experience is the foundation of authentic reviews.

Train employees to communicate clearly, resolve problems promptly, and set realistic expectations. When businesses consistently deliver what they promise, customers have more meaningful experiences to share.

Respond to Reviews Professionally

Thank customers for constructive feedback and address complaints respectfully.

Avoid posting confidential information or arguing with reviewers. If a complaint requires investigation, invite the customer to continue the discussion through an appropriate private channel.

Make Feedback Easy

Keep review instructions short and ensure links work correctly on mobile devices.

A customer should not have to navigate several confusing pages to find the review option.

Never Offer Rewards for Google Reviews

Google prohibits incentives such as payments, discounts, free products, or services in exchange for reviews. It also prohibits selectively soliciting positive reviews.

Instead, invite customers to share honest feedback without influencing the rating or offering a reward.
