Hi , would you recommend us to a friend?
Review requests that protect your rating.
Smart reputation triage on WhatsApp.
Ask a simple recommendation question first, send happy customers to the public review link, and route unhappy customers into private recovery before the complaint goes public.
The smart review triage blueprint.
Trigger after the experience settles, ask whether they would recommend you, branch happy customers to public review and route unhappy customers into private service recovery.
Copy that routes the review.
Three templates run the review path: temperature check, public review CTA, and private recovery.
Thanks - that means a lot. Would you share that publicly?
Sorry we missed the mark. Can we put this right privately?
Five things that improve reputation without gaming it.
Asks after the moment settles - seven days gives a fairer answer than a same-day ask.
Starts with temperature - one question separates happy customers from customers who need help.
Deep-links reviews - public review CTAs go directly to the right place ID.
Keeps recovery private - unhappy customers get a human path, not a public nudge.
Tracks conversion - HubSpot records tap-to-review and recovery outcomes.
Why smart review triage works.
The best review flows ask the right people at the right moment and give unhappy customers a private route to resolution.
01 Why review asks fail
Blanket review requests send unhappy customers to public channels and force happy customers through too many steps.
- Silent after "yes" — wire your Flow to the CRM milestone (donation cleared, booking confirmed, ticket closed) and let the thread go quiet the instant the job is done. No duplicate ask, no nudge — one trustworthy conversation people actually open next time.
02 How to enhance it
Add Google place-ID links, recovery SLAs, sentiment tagging, tap-to-review attribution, and owner alerts for private complaints.
03 Gotchas
Do not hide legitimate negative feedback, avoid fake gating, keep recovery genuine, and measure submitted reviews rather than just taps.
The point: the public review path is for advocates; the private path is for fixing problems.
