Frequently asked questions
What does a good Restaurant review look like?
A good review is specific and tells a short story: what the customer needed, what you did, and the result. The examples above show this — use them as inspiration for the kind of feedback to encourage.
Can I use these review examples for my business?
Use them as inspiration for the kind of reviews to encourage — not as fake reviews. Posting fake or incentivized reviews violates Google and FTC policy. The best move is to make it easy for real happy customers to leave one.
