Google Review Request Templates for Trades (SMS + WhatsApp)
Copy/paste templates to get more Google reviews without sounding awkward.
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.
