Review requests for electricians.Written for electrical contractors.

What a good one does

Updated

An electrician's review request works best once the customer has used the new circuit, charger or lights for a day. Ask every customer the same way, name the job in plain words, and link straight to your Google review form. Don't ask them to name the electrician, never offer a discount for a review, and send it whether the visit went smoothly or not.

Rules that apply.In plain words.

This is a summary, not legal advice. Each row links to the official source.

Mistakes to avoid.We see these often.

  • Asking customers to name the electrician. Google doesn't allow asking for reviews that name staff.
  • Asking before the inspection has passed on permitted work.
  • Only asking after quick fixes and skipping the jobs that ran long.

Questions people ask.Short answers.

When should an electrician ask for a review?

Once the work has been used for a day or has passed inspection. A same-day text works for simple repairs.

Can I mention the permit in the request?

Yes. Sending the sign-off with the request is useful, and it reminds the customer what was done.

Should I ask for reviews on several sites?

Ask for Google first. Yelp asks businesses not to request reviews at all.
