Review invitations help a business collect genuine feedback from customers who have actually used its products or services.

Before you start: Your business listing should be claimed and your customer contact data must be used lawfully.

Step 1: Sign in to your business account

Visit ClearSay.co.uk and sign in using the account connected to your claimed business profile.

Step 2: Open Request Reviews

Open your business dashboard and select Request Reviews, Review Invitations or the equivalent invitation tool. Availability may depend on your ClearSay plan.

Step 3: Choose the invitation method

Select the available method that suits the customer journey.

  • Email invitation
  • SMS invitation
  • Direct review link
  • QR code
  • Automated invitation workflow

Step 4: Add the customer details

Enter only the details required to send the invitation. Do not upload purchased lists or contact people who have not used the business.

Step 5: Use a neutral invitation message

Ask for honest feedback without requesting a particular rating.

  • Thank the customer for choosing the business.
  • Explain that their feedback helps other customers.
  • Invite them to describe their genuine experience.
  • Do not ask specifically for five stars.

Step 6: Check the review link

Open the link before sending and confirm that it leads to the correct ClearSay business profile.

Step 7: Send and monitor the invitation

Send the invitation and use the dashboard, where available, to monitor delivery, opens and completed reviews. Avoid repeated messages within a short period.
