Step-by-Step Checklist
Before You Send
- Identify past clients from the last 1–2 years (weddings and corporate events)
- Gather each client's first name, partner name (weddings), and email address
- Personalize the [bracketed fields] in the template for each client
- Find your Google Business Profile review link from Google Maps (search "Higher Love Band Tampa")
- Confirm your WeddingWire, The Knot, and GigSalad listings are claimed and active
Sending Strategy
- Send to wedding clients first — they are most likely to leave detailed reviews
- Send to corporate clients separately using the corporate template
- Send in batches of 5–10 per week so reviews trickle in naturally (looks organic to Google)
- Send Tuesday–Thursday mornings for best open rates
- Use your personal email or bookings@higherloveband.com — avoid mass-email tools for this
Follow-Up
- Wait 7–10 days, then send one polite follow-up if no review was left
- Thank every client who leaves a review with a personal reply (especially on Google)
- Screenshot and save standout reviews for use in marketing materials
- Add new 5-star Google reviews to your website testimonials section
- Check GigSalad and WeddingWire dashboards monthly for new reviews
Ongoing Habits
- Ask for a review within 2–4 weeks of every event while the memory is fresh
- Include a review request link in your post-event thank-you email
- Aim for at least 2–3 new Google reviews per month
- Respond to every review — positive and negative — within 48 hours
