6 steps to more reviews
-
A QR code on the bill
In your Google Business Profile, tap “Ask for reviews” and copy the link. Turn it into a QR code for the bill, the table card and the takeaway bag.
-
One line for staff
“So glad you loved it! If you have a sec, a Google review really helps a small place like us.”
-
A follow-up text
Send a short thank-you text a couple of hours after the meal. Most booking systems can do this for you.
-
Reply to every review
Reply within 2 days. Use their name, mention the dish, say thank you. For bad ones: say sorry, fix it, invite them back.
-
Never fake it or pay for it
No bought reviews, no swaps, no “5 stars for a free dessert”. It breaks Google’s rules, and fake reviews can breach Australian Consumer Law.
-
