Ask every customer the same way, link to your Google review form, and keep rewards completely separate. Recurring plan customers can be asked once, after the first full cycle, rather than after every visit. Published Nov 1, 2026, updated Nov 1, 2026. By Shakhawat Ullah Badhon, Founder, Damex Digital. ## The templates ### 1. After the follow-up visit ```text Hi [Name], your follow-up visit from [Business] is done. Now that you've seen how the treatment went, would you leave an honest Google review? [review link] Reply STOP to opt out. ``` ### 2. Plan customers after the first full cycle ```text Hi [Name], you've had a full quarter on the [Business] plan. If you'd like to share how it's going, here's our Google review link: [review link] Reply STOP to opt out. ``` ### 3. After a termite inspection report ```text Subject: Your termite inspection report Hi [Name], Your report for [address] is attached. Call [phone] if your real estate agent or lender has questions. If the inspection helped, an honest Google review helps other buyers in [town]: [review link] [Owner name], [Business] ``` ### 4. After rodent exclusion work ```text Hi [Name], thanks for having [Business] seal up the entry points. If the noises have stopped, or if they haven't, we'd value an honest review: [review link] Reply STOP to opt out. ``` ### 5. After bed bug treatment ```text Hi [Name], thanks for trusting [Business] with a stressful job. When you're ready, an honest Google review helps others in the same situation: [review link] Reply STOP to opt out. ``` Bed bug customers may prefer privacy.

After the follow-up visit or, for plan customers, after the first full cycle, once the customer can judge the result. ### Can I give a free service for a review? No. Google doesn't allow incentives for reviews, and US rules ban rewards tied to a positive review. ### How should we reply to a bed bug review? Thank them and invite them to call, without repeating details they didn't share. Many customers want that kept private. ## Sources 1.
