How to Ask for a Google Review (Without It Feeling Awkward)

You know those moments when a client says, “Thanks so much, you’ve been amazing,”—and you think, “Wow, that would make a great review!”?

Here’s how to turn those compliments into trust-building testimonials that show up exactly where future clients are searching: your Google Business Profile.

What to Say When Someone Compliments You

You don’t need to overthink it. Here’s a simple, friendly message you can send—whether it’s after a successful settlement, a kind email from a buyer, or even a colleague or supplier you’ve worked well with:

“Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words. Would you mind popping that into a quick Google review? It really helps me grow my business when others know they can trust me when it next comes time to buy or sell. I know you’re super busy so it doesn’t need to be long—just a few words about your 5-star experience would be very much appreciated. You can leave a review here: [Insert Your Google Profile Link]. Thank you so much!”

It’s polite, personal, and makes it easy for them to take action.

🛠️ Pro Tip:

Set up a Google review shortcut link and keep it handy in your phone notes or email signatures. That way, when someone says something nice, you’re ready to act on it.
