How to send your Google review link by text
Last updated: October 2026
A text is the easiest way to ask a customer for a Google review: they read it fast and the link is one tap away. Here's how to do it well, by hand or automatically.
1. Get your direct review link
Open your business on Google Maps, tap Share, copy the link, and paste it into our free Google review link generator. No Google login needed. More detail: get your review link without a Business Profile.
2. Send it the same day
Text while the visit or work is fresh, ideally within a few hours. Later texts get skimmed and forgotten.
3. Keep the text short
Hi [First name], it's [Your name] from [Business]. Thanks for today! If you have 30 seconds, would you leave us a Google review? [review link]
- Their first name and your business name
- One thank-you
- One link, nothing else to tap
4. Follow up once
Hi [First name], quick reminder in case it got buried: [review link]. Thanks either way!
Send it about three days later, then stop.
5. Ask every customer
Text everyone the same way, not only the customers you expect to be happy. Google's policies prohibit selectively asking for positive reviews. See Google's review rules.
Texting from your own phone vs. automating it
Sending by hand works when you remember. It gets missed on busy days, and you have to track who needs a reminder. ReviewAsk texts or emails each customer the link and sends the one reminder for you, from your phone, a spreadsheet, or automatically when a job closes in Jobber or Housecall Pro. $39/month, no contract.
Ask every customer, without remembering to
ReviewAsk texts or emails every customer a one-tap Google review link, with one reminder. No Google login needed. $39/month, 7-day free trial, no contract.
FAQ
Is it okay to text customers for a review?
Yes, for customers you've done business with and who gave you their number. Keep it to one ask and one reminder, and honor any stop request.
Should I text or email the review link?
Text usually gets read faster; email works well for customers who prefer it. ReviewAsk can send either.
Can I put the review link in a QR code instead?
Yes, for in-person use. For customers who've already left, a text with the link is easier.
