Review Request Text Templates for Local Businesses (Copy & Paste)

Updated October 15, 2026 · Some links may be affiliate links. How we make money.

In short: The best review request text is short, personal, sent right after the job, and includes your direct Google review link. Below are copy-and-paste templates for contractors, cleaners, salons and Airbnb hosts, plus a follow-up reminder. Send them to every customer, not just the happy ones, to stay within Google's rules.

Before you send

• Get your direct review link from your Google Business Profile.
• Send it within a few hours of finishing the job.
• Ask every customer. Google prohibits incentives and review gating.
