When Is the Best Time to Ask for a Google Review?

The best time is while the experience is fresh, ideally the same day, within a few hours of a positive visit. That is when people remember the detail and feel most inclined to help.

For appointment businesses that means shortly after they leave, not days later. Avoid the middle of the working day when messages get buried; early evening tends to land well. Never chase more than once.
