LIVE SEARCH EXAMPLE

Reviews drive calls. The trick is asking at the right moment and keeping it short.

Template 1 (WhatsApp)

Nice one — glad you’re happy with it. Would you mind leaving us a quick Google review? It really helps local customers find us. Here’s the link: {REVIEW_LINK}

Template 2 (SMS)

Thanks again — if you could leave a quick Google review it’d mean a lot: {REVIEW_LINK}

Template 3 (follow-up)

Quick one — just checking you saw this. If you can spare 30 seconds for a review it really helps: {REVIEW_LINK}

Template 4 (with guidance)

If it helps, just mention what we did + your area (e.g. “kitchen extension in Leeds”). Thank you! {REVIEW_LINK}

When to ask

  • right after the customer says “looks great”
  • when you finish snagging
  • after the final invoice is paid

If you want, we can also tighten your website so those extra calls convert into enquiries.
