How to ask for a review by text
Ask when the customer is happy, keep the message short, and make the link easy to tap. One clear ask beats a long speech about how reviews help small businesses.
If they do not reply, one reminder is usually enough. YoNudge can send the ask and the follow-up so you do not have to remember after every job.
Thank them first.
Ask only if the job went well.
Include one review link.
Keep the reminder soft.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I ask every customer for a review?
Ask customers who seemed satisfied. If something went wrong, fix it first. A review request works best after a good experience.
