Keep the rating and wording up to the reviewer. Separate the public invitation from your private process for investigating service issues. Start with one approved invitation and a clear rule for when the account team uses it. Do not make the public review link depend on a positive satisfaction answer. ## Follow Google's review-request limits Google prohibits incentives for reviews, discouraging negative reviews, and selectively soliciting positive reviews. It also prohibits requests for specific review content. [Google review policy, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/7400114?hl=en). Apply those limits to the full process. A neutral sentence does not fix a workflow that sends the link only to accounts labelled happy. Do not ask the facility manager to mention a particular cleaner, town, or keyword. Leave the account team's performance goals out of the invitation. Use a draft such as: > Would you share an honest Google review of your experience with our cleaning service? Please leave out confidential information about your facility. Add the company's actual review destination after checking it. This is a draft for the owner to adapt, not a message sent to a customer. ## Choose the recipient from the account record Ask the account manager who has a genuine experience to describe. Keep that decision tied to the service relationship rather than a guess about the likely rating. If an account has several contacts, decide who coordinates the invitation. Avoid sending repeated requests from separate staff members. Do not write the customer's review for them. Do not supply a testimonial paragraph and ask them to paste it into Google. Keep an internal invitation record with the account reference, approved contact, date, and destination. Use only the information needed to coordinate the request. ## Keep complaints and invitations independent Give customers a monitored private route to report missed work or another concern. Continue investigating through the normal account process. Do not offer a discount, free work, or another benefit in exchange for a review or a change to an existing review. Google's prohibition covers incentives for revisions and removal as well. [Google incentive policy, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/7400114?hl=en). Keep any legitimate service remedy separate from a request about public feedback. Have the account owner review the wording before discussing both in one message. For public replies, avoid access arrangements, personnel records, and private inspection details. Use the approved contact route for account-specific follow-up. ## Check the destination before using the template Open the intended review destination without the profile manager's editing session. Confirm that it identifies the actual company. Test the link wherever you plan to place it, including a website page or approved email template. Remove any step that requires a positive rating before revealing the public destination. Have the owner review the whole sequence: recipient rule, invitation, destination, reminder rule, and complaint path. Leave unresolved steps out of the active process. ## Prepare the website changes If the site needs a review invitation page, keep it short. State whose experience the invitation concerns and link to the checked destination. Do not add a guaranteed rating result to the project brief. Define acceptance through the neutral wording, correct link, and approved process. The [commercial cleaning website hub](/for/janitorial-and-commercial-cleaning) covers the wider site.
