40 Google Review Request Messages: WhatsApp, SMS, Email and In-Person Scripts (English, Hindi and Hinglish)

Quick answer: A good review request is short, personal, sent at the moment of satisfaction and includes your direct review link. For example: "Thank you for visiting Sharma Sweets today, Priya! If you enjoyed the sweets, a quick Google review would really help us: [link]." Send it within a few hours of the purchase or service, send at most one gentle reminder, and never offer discounts, ask for five stars or ask only happy customers through a filter. Use the templates below and change the details to sound like you.

Most customers are happy to leave a review if asked nicely and given an easy link (how to ask without awkwardness). These messages save you from writing a new one every time. Replace [link] with your review link (get your review link).
