The prompt

Write review request messages for [BUSINESS NAME], a [TYPE OF BUSINESS].

Where I want reviews: [e.g. Google, Yelp, Facebook]
Review link: [LINK]
When I ask: [e.g. the day after the job is finished]
Something specific I can mention: [e.g. the service they received]

Write:
1. A text message under 300 characters.
2. A short email with a subject line.
3. A gentle follow-up for people who did not respond after 5 days.
4. A line staff can say in person at the end of a visit.
Rules: ask for an honest review, do not offer discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, do not ask only for 5-star reviews, and keep it personal and brief.

Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.

How to use it

Send the request while the experience is fresh, usually within 24 hours. Incentivizing or filtering reviews breaks most review sites' rules, so ask everyone the same way.
