Prompts for Google Review Feedback

Business & Marketing Updated August 24, 2026 by GenPrompto
Prompt
Write a short, genuine Google review request for a customer who just [experience, described specifically -- e.g. "had their car’s brakes replaced and picked it up same-day"]. Keep it under 3 sentences, friendly and specific to what they experienced -- reference the actual service by name, not a generic "your recent visit." Include a placeholder [REVIEW LINK] for our review link. Avoid corporate-sounding phrases like "we value your feedback" -- write as if a real staff member is asking.

What this does

Writes genuine, specific Google review requests and response drafts -- built around the actual service experienced, not a generic template.

A good Google review request names the specific service the customer experienced — a generic “please leave us a review” message reads as spam and gets ignored far more often than one that references what actually happened.

What this produces

A short, specific request message (or review response draft) built around the actual service or product, ready to send by text, email, or in person, rather than a generic template.

Variations

Two ready-to-copy versions for different needs.

Review Request Message Version
Write a short, genuine Google review request for a customer who just [experience, described specifically]. Keep it under 3 sentences, friendly, and specific to what they experienced — name the actual service or product, not a generic reference. Include a placeholder [REVIEW LINK]. Avoid scripted-sounding phrases like “your feedback means the world to us” — write like a real person is asking, not a template.
Review Response Draft Version
Write a warm, specific response to this Google review: “[paste the review text].” Thank the reviewer by name if given, and address at least one specific detail they mentioned in their review (not a generic “thank you for your kind words”). Keep the tone genuine and conversational rather than corporate. If the review is negative, acknowledge the specific issue calmly without being defensive, and note what will be done about it if appropriate.

Who this is for

Review requests get ignored constantly — usually because they’re generic. This is for anyone who wants theirs to actually get read.

Example Output

Naming the specific service and what made the experience good produces a request that reads as genuine and specific — a generic “please leave us a review” request tends to get ignored more often than one that references the actual experience.

Tips for better results

  • Name the specific service or product the customer experienced — generic requests feel like spam and get ignored more often.
  • Keep the ask short — a request that’s too long reduces the chance someone actually follows through.
  • Include the direct review link if you have one, rather than asking them to search for your business.
  • For response drafts, always thank the reviewer by name if you have it, and address anything specific they mentioned.

What didn’t work as well

A generic “please leave us a review” message reads as spam and gets treated like it. Naming the actual service the customer experienced is what makes the ask feel real.

FAQ

Does this work for negative reviews too?

Yes — paste a negative review into the Review Response Draft version; ask explicitly for a calm, non-defensive tone that acknowledges the issue.

Should I offer an incentive for leaving a review?

Check Google’s current review policies before offering incentives — many platforms restrict paid or incentivized reviews, so this prompt focuses on genuine, unincentivized requests.

Can I use this for other review platforms besides Google?

Yes — just mention the platform name in the prompt (Yelp, Facebook, etc.) and the same structure applies.
