Review Request Scripts — Optimized for Google Gemini & Ask Maps
Google's Ask Maps now uses AI to match businesses against conversational queries like "who can install French drains in San Tan Valley?" Generic "great service, 5 stars" reviews get skipped. These scripts prompt your clients to mention what service you performed, where they're located, and the outcome — so when homeowners ask Google for help, you show up.
Best time to ask: Right after the job walkthrough when the client is seeing the finished result — that's when the wow factor is highest.
Drainage reviews are gold: When someone mentions "flooding," "French drain," or "drainage fix," those match the most common homeowner search queries in Arizona. Prioritize these.
Arborist reviews are rare: Very few landscapers are ISA Certified Arborists. A review that says "Jerry is a certified arborist" directly matches queries like "certified arborist near me" — a keyword most competitors can't claim.
Ash tree reviews are a huge opportunity: Arizona homeowners are actively searching for ash tree help — borer damage, declining health, whether to treat or remove. A review mentioning "Jerry inspected our ash trees in Queen Creek and recommended a treatment plan that saved them" matches dozens of high-intent searches that almost no competitor has reviews for.
Claims reviews are the most powerful: Nothing builds trust like a review saying "Jerry fixed a grading mistake the builder left" — that directly matches "landscaper to fix builder drainage problems in San Tan Valley."
