    Strengthen Your Reputation

BBB review tools can make it easier to send customers a link or QR code that directs them to leave feedback.

Review Best Practices

  • Ask for reviews consistently
  • Ask shortly after completing the service or transaction
  • Make the process easy for the customer
  • Monitor new reviews
  • Respond professionally when appropriate
  • Treat feedback as an opportunity to improve the customer experience

Important

Customer Reviews are not used when calculating the BBB Letter Grade Rating. Reviews are a separate part of your BBB Business Profile.

Tip

Ask at the moment the customer is happiest — right after the job is finished.
