• Call to action 2: Make is visual. The button ‘Rate us on Google’ immediately catches the eye.
• Mobile friendly: Almost everyone reads their email on their smartphone. Explain that it’s easy to write a review on your phone
• Keep it easy: You want to keep it easy if you ask someone to write a review. You can add a smiley or a heart so people will understand that they have to leave a positive review.
