Frequently asked questions
What is a good review request template?
A short, personal message that thanks the customer, asks for a quick Google review, and includes a direct review link so it's one tap. Texts get the highest response; email works well for B2B. Use any template above and swap in your business name, service, and review link.
How do I write a request for a review email?
Keep it under five sentences: a warm opener, a thank-you for the specific service, a one-line ask, and a direct review link. Add a soft follow-up a few days later. The email templates above are ready to copy and personalize.
Where do I get my review link to put in the template?
Use a free Google review link generator to create a direct link (and QR code) to your review page, then paste it where the templates say [review link].
Can I send these automatically instead of one by one?
Yes — sending these by hand for every customer is the hard part. ReviewKit texts and emails each customer a one-tap review link right after their visit, with the follow-up built in, so your reviews come in on autopilot. Start free.
