Policy-Safe Review Requests
Google allows businesses to ask customers for reviews, but reviews must reflect genuine experiences. Do not offer discounts, free goods, contests, refunds, loyalty points, or other incentives in exchange for posting, changing, or removing a review. Do not only ask customers who you expect will leave positive reviews.
What Reply Champion Adds Beyond a Bare Link
A direct Google review link is useful, but the workflow matters. Reply Champion keeps the link inside a campaign system with customer lists, request messages, private feedback routing, QR and copy assets, and tracking so review requests become a repeatable operating habit.
- Email campaigns for customer lists.
- Direct Google review link access.
- QR code and copy assets for non-email channels.
- Private feedback path for customers who need help.
- Campaign performance tracking.
When To Ask
Ask after a real customer interaction when the experience is still fresh. The best timing varies by business: after job completion, checkout, appointment close-out, move-in, event follow-up, service pickup, or a successful support resolution. The ask should fit the relationship and the moment.
