25 Review Request Text Templates You Can Copy and Send Today

Text messages are the highest-converting way to ask for a review — they get opened almost every time and answered in minutes. The trick is keeping them short, personal, and one tap away from the review box. Here are 25 templates you can copy, drop your review link into, and send today.

Ground rules for review request texts

  • Keep it to one or two sentences — long texts get ignored.
  • Use the customer’s first name and your business name.
  • Include a direct link, never “search for us.”
  • Send within a few hours of finishing, while the experience is fresh.
  • Only text customers who agreed to be contacted (stay TCPA-compliant).

Replace [Name], [Business], and [link] in each. Build the link with our Google review link generator.
