How do you ask customers for a Google review?

Short answer

Ask directly, at the right moment, and make it effortless with a link. Google encourages businesses to ask customers for reviews — the key is timing and simplicity, not pressure.

How to ask well

• Ask right after a good experience, when goodwill is highest.
• Send a direct review link (or QR code) so it's one tap.
• Personalize the request and keep it short.
• Make it easy to say no — never nag.

A simple "If you enjoyed your visit, we'd love a quick Google review — here's the link" works. What you can't do is filter for only-happy customers or offer a reward; ask everyone, honestly.
