Draft request
SMS draft: "Hi Sam - thanks for choosing Harbour Cafe for Friday's catering. If it went well, a one-line review helps small places like ours a lot: [link]" — 168 characters.
How the Review Request Generator works
- Name the business and the specific purchase, since a generic request reads as automated.
- Choose the channel; SMS needs one sentence and a link, email can carry two.
- Send it while the experience is recent — a few days after delivery, not weeks.
FAQ
When should the request go out?
Soon after the customer has actually experienced the thing — after delivery and use, not at checkout. For a service, within a day or two while the detail is fresh.
Can I ask only happy customers?
No. Filtering out unhappy customers before showing the review link is review gating, and it violates the terms of Google and most major platforms. Ask everyone and improve the service instead.
Should I offer an incentive?
Most platforms prohibit incentivised reviews, and those that allow it require disclosure. A specific, human request outperforms a discount anyway.

Review Request Generator writes the message and flags the rule most businesses break by accident — asking only the customers they expect to be happy.
