Hi, we're tiffany +tabatha

This is probably the most frequently asked question we get when people find out that we are a Digital Marketing Agency. So we are going to share with you the secret that we give our clients to get them Google reviews. Below you will find our FREE Google Review Template.

Google Reviews affect your Map Pack score the more positive reviews you have the better the rankings.

Is It Hard to Get Reviews?

Nope! It is just a fill-in-the-blank template that you can send out regardless of the industry you are in.  

Google My Business gives you the perfect solutions to giving people a link to your review!

What you need to do to get reviews:

Target the people who were just customers. Whether they stayed at your property if you are a vacation rental, just visited your restaurant/bar or whether you are a dentist or a hairdresser – send it out when they leave your office!

There are multiple platforms to take advantage of this. Facebook if they like your page, ask them for a review. If you collected their email address (which you should be collecting email addresses for your email campaigns, with their consent of course) Heck, even if you need to text the link. Just copy and paste it into the message that we are going to provide below!

Why Are Reviews Important?

Getting reviews are important to not just boost your local SEO, but they are also reassuring to your future customers that you are a legitimate business that has the goods or services that they need. The more positive reviews you have, the more Google sees you as important.

What Do I Tell Them In The Email?

It all starts with a good tagline. Something that will make them want to open the email. Once you get your subject line you need to create the rest of your message/email. In a nutshell, you just need to thank them for coming to your business, ask them to do a huge favor that should only take a minute or two, and then boom! You’re in business. You will be getting reviews in no time!

Is There A Way To Automate Reviews?

This is 2025 after all, so of course, there is a lot of software out there that automates reviews. Twinning Pros offers Review Generation as one of our Digital Marketing Services. We are a partner with Birdeye the leading review generation and listings management software on the market. Where you can automate reviews for as little as $200 a month. With the options to integrate into your POS, CRM, and EMR  making the review generation as seamless as possible for $275. 

Blue Corona has a great post about the best review-generation Software if you would like to weigh your options. 

If you aren’t looking for automation, Sending one message at a time may be tedious to start, but it is absolutely worth it! You can actually set up an automated email campaign and just input their name and email address into your email campaign software (mailchimp has a great free setup).
