For advisory firms

Trust is the sale. After the plan, the next family still can’t see your work.

After the plan or engagement is done, Good Work Reviews drafts a short note. You approve it. Then the client can leave a review — or send a referral.

Nothing reaches a client until you say yes.

Review and referral requests for professional firms.

Hi Taylor —

Thanks again for trusting us with your plan this year.

If you have a minute, would you leave a short Google review for the firm? Here’s the link: Review link

If someone you know needs an advisor, here’s a short link you can send them — or fill in their name yourself: Referral link

— Morgan at Crestview Advisors

No note goes out until you approve it.

Needs your approval. Approve, edit, or skip — on a laptop or your phone.

When to send

Ask at the finish line — not mid-engagement.

When the note goes out: after the plan is delivered or the annual review is done. You pick the moment. You approve the note — compliance can review it in that step.

  1. Plan delivered

    Plan done — good time to ask

  2. Engagement wrapped

    Advisory work the client can feel is finished

  3. Annual review done

    Year’s review complete

  4. Project done

    Client can feel it’s finished

One note per finished job. No follow-up nagging unless you send it.

Sample

What the note can say

  1. 01

    Your firm’s voice. Change any line before it sends.

  2. 02

    One clear ask for a review. Google, or the review site you already use.

  3. 03

    A link they can pass on. They send it — or fill in a name themselves.

FAQ

Questions advisors ask

We’re advisors — can we ask for client reviews?

Check with your compliance team first. Because nothing goes out until you approve it, their review fits into that step.

When should an advisory firm ask for a referral?

After a plan or engagement the client can feel is finished. Same approve-first note. You can ask for a review, a referral, or both — you choose before it sends.

Is it OK to ask clients for Google reviews?

Asking is fine when your firm’s rules allow it. Paying for reviews, writing fake ones, or sending review requests only to happy clients is not. Good Work Reviews never does those.

How is Good Work Reviews different from Podium, Birdeye, or NiceJob?

Those tools are built for high-volume local shops. Good Work Reviews is for firms where one client relationship lasts years. By default you approve every note; automation is optional and unlocks after you’ve approved and sent five notes yourself — not on day one.
