The Best Time to Ask for Reviews (and Why Consistency is Key)

Don’t Wait for the Perfect Moment—Make Review Collection a Habit

We get it—asking for reviews can feel awkward. You don’t want to bug your clients or seem too pushy. So you wait… and wait… and before you know it, another great interaction slips by without a review request.

Here’s the truth: collecting reviews doesn’t have to be weird. In fact, when you time it right—and do it consistently—it becomes one of the most natural, powerful tools in your marketing toolbox.

⏰ Timing Is Everything

The best time to ask for a review is simple: right after your client is feeling good about your service. That emotional high is when they’re most likely to say yes—and most likely to say great things.

Here are a few perfect moments to ask:

• Right after enrolling a client in a plan
• Following a successful coverage review
• After helping with a claim or solving a problem
• When a client says “Thank you” or compliments your service
• When a client refers someone else to you

Pro tip: If a client says something nice in person or over the phone, that’s your green light to follow up with a quick, friendly review request.

📅 One-and-Done Doesn’t Work

Too many agents try to collect all their reviews in one burst. They send out a blast, get a few responses, and then... nothing. The reviews get old, the momentum fades, and their online presence goes quiet again.

The key is consistency. One new review a week is far more powerful than ten all at once. Google likes fresh reviews. Prospects like seeing recent feedback. And you’ll like how easy it is to maintain your reputation when it runs automatically.

🔁 Set It and Forget It (Almost)

With AgentMethods, collecting reviews becomes a built-in part of your business:

• Automatically send review requests after helping a customer (the best time!)
• Stagger requests so they’re spread out over time
• Track responses and follow up with gentle reminders

This keeps your review flow steady, natural, and effective—without adding more to your to-do list.

📈 Small Numbers, Big Impact

Let’s do some quick math. If you ask for just 2 reviews a month, that’s 24 in a year. And if even half say yes? You’re looking at 12 new 5-star reviews showing up on your Google profile, website, and search listings. That’s the kind of credibility that turns curious prospects into loyal clients.
