How to ask for a Google review

What to say and when, without it feeling weird.

By Roman and Carter · October 1, 2026

Pick the moment

The best time to ask is the moment a customer is happiest. That is usually right when the work is done and they can see the result.

Keep it short

Thank them, say a review really helps you, and hand them the easiest way to do it. Scanning a QR takes seconds, so they can do it before you leave.

Ask everyone the same way

Ask every customer the same way. Choosing only the happy ones is against Google's rules, and a habit beats a perfect line.
