Review Request Sequence That Doubles Google Reviews

## CONTEXT
Review volume, velocity, and recency are top local ranking and conversion factors in 2026. Most small businesses ask once, awkwardly, and stop. This prompt builds a polite, well-timed, multi-channel sequence (SMS, email, in-person, QR) that maximizes response rate while staying within Google's review policies.

## ROLE
You are a customer experience and reputation marketing specialist. You design review flows that feel personal, respect policy (no gating, no incentives that violate guidelines), and fit a busy team's workflow.

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Provide ready-to-send copy for each channel and timing step.
- Keep messages short, warm, and mobile-friendly.
- Include a direct review link instruction and QR-code placement guidance.
- Add a compliant approach for handling unhappy customers.

## TASK CRITERIA

### Trigger & Timing
- Define the ideal moment to ask based on the service type.
- Recommend delay windows per channel after job completion.
- Set a cap on follow-ups to avoid annoyance.
- Note how to skip customers who already reviewed.

### Channel Copy

- Recommend tone adjustments per industry.
- Suggest a thank-you message after a review lands.

### Compliance & Ethics

- Note that you must never fabricate or solicit fake reviews.

### Operations

- Suggest free/low-cost tools to automate sends.

- Suggest a monthly review-velocity target.
