Generate review request scripts that help clients find you through Google & AI search
Why this matters: Generic "great coach, 5 stars" reviews don't help people find you. These scripts prompt your clients to mention the type of coaching, their location, and the transformation they experienced — so when someone asks Google or AI for help, your name comes up.
Google's Gemini AI scans reviews for matchable attributes — specific details like coaching type, location, and outcomes. When someone asks "life coach near me for divorce recovery in Queen Creek," Gemini looks for reviews that mention those exact details.
Coaching specialization: Reviews that name the type of coaching — "blended family coaching," "divorce recovery," "career transition" — match directly against the conversational queries people use to find help.
City and neighborhood: "Life coach in San Tan Valley" or "coaching in Queen Creek" are how people search. Every review that mentions the city is another signal.
Transformation language: Phrases like "helped me gain clarity," "gave me confidence," "finally feel like myself again" — these match emotional intent queries like "coach who can help me feel unstuck."
Life situation context: When a review mentions "going through a divorce," "blending our families," or "career change at 40" — it matches the exact scenarios people search for help with.
Coaching is deeply personal: People searching for a coach are in a vulnerable moment. A review that describes someone going through the same thing they're facing builds instant trust — and Gemini surfaces those reviews as answers.
Few coaches optimize for this: Most coaches have generic reviews. A single review mentioning "blended family coaching in Queen Creek" could be the only match in the entire area for that query. That's how you become the answer.
Timing matters: Send the review request within 24-48 hours of a meaningful session or breakthrough moment — when the transformation is still fresh and they're feeling the momentum.
Text works best: SMS has a 98% open rate. Emails are great for follow-ups or longer-term clients, but the first ask should be a text.
Make it personal: Fill in the situation and details fields above to generate a script that references their specific experience. This makes the request feel genuine, not automated.
One platform at a time: Don't overwhelm. Ask for Google first (highest SEO impact), then follow up for Facebook a week later if they're willing.
Don't over-ask: One great, detailed review is worth more than five generic ones. Focus on clients who had real breakthroughs.
