Hey {Name}

Hope you're doing great! I wanted to ask a quick favor. I'm putting in a lot of effort to grow my business right now, and a Google review from you would mean a lot.


If you’re up for it, it’ll only take a couple of minutes. Just a quick 5-star rating and a short 1–3 sentence review would make a huge difference and help me get in front of more people.


If they say yes:
Awesome, thank you! Here’s what to do:

  1. Google my business name.
  2. Click the CALL button on the listing — this helps Google recognize some interaction.
  3. After that, I’ll send you the review link. Just tap the 5 stars, write a quick review, and hit POST. Super fast — like 1–2 minutes max.

Let’s hang up real quick so you can call me through the Google listing now, and I’ll send the link right after.


Really appreciate you doing this — it seriously helps more than you know. Let me know if there’s anything I can ever help you with too!
