GROWING REVIEWS

How to Get More Google Reviews (Without Breaking the Rules)

The most reliable way to protect your rating is a steady stream of genuine reviews. Most happy customers will leave one if you make it easy.

Ask at the right moment

Ask when the experience is fresh: at checkout, when guests compliment the meal, or in a follow-up email the day after a stay.

Make it one tap

Use your Business Profile’s share-review link or a QR code on receipts, table cards, or room key sleeves.

Ask everyone

Google doesn’t allow asking only happy customers for reviews. Invite every customer and let them decide.

Don’t pay or reward

Discounts, free items, or entries into a prize draw in exchange for reviews break Google’s rules and may break consumer protection law.

Reply to the reviews you get

Customers are more likely to review businesses that visibly respond. It also signals activity to Google.
