What you'll need

  • A recently happy customer
  • Your review link
  • Any AI chat assistant

The steps

  1. Pick a customer who just had a good experience.
  2. Have your review link ready.
  3. Paste the prompt and fill in the brackets.
  4. Send it while the good feeling's fresh.

The prompt

Write a short, warm message asking a happy customer for a review.

Customer: [name]
What they bought/booked: [product or service]
My business: [your business name]
Review link: [paste your link]

Under 70 words, friendly and low-pressure. Thank them specifically, make the ask simple, and include the link. Sound like a real person, not a corporate survey.

A gentle nudge

No review after a week? Write a one-line, no-pressure reminder that makes it easy to do now and easy to ignore if they're busy.

What you'll get

A personal review request that's easy to say yes to — more reviews, less awkwardness, in about 5 minutes.

If it's not quite right

  • Too formal? Add "Write it like a quick text to a friend."
  • For SMS? Add "Keep it to two short sentences."
