How do I get more Google reviews?

The best time to ask is right after a positive interaction. Send a text or email with a direct review link (Google has a tool to generate this) within 24 hours of service. Follow up once after 5 days. Don't offer incentives — Google penalizes that. Aim for 2-3 new reviews per month from real customers. Volume + recency beats a 50-review pile from 2022.
