Best practices
Timing matters
Send review requests when the customer experience is fresh in their mind. For service businesses, this typically means within 24-48 hours of service completion.
Personalize your message
While the process is automated, your message should feel personal. Reference the specific service or product the customer received.
Keep it simple
Make the review process as frictionless as possible. Your automated requests should include direct links that take customers straight to the review form.
Avoid sending too many follow-up requests to the same customer. This can be perceived as spam and damage your relationship.
