Key takeaways
- Ask at a natural milestone — a completed filing, case, project or engagement.
- Email and invoices work well for professional clients.
- Never confirm or reveal client details in replies.
- Check your profession's own rules on client testimonials.
Accountants, lawyers, architects, consultants and other professional firms rely on trust — and prospective clients increasingly check Google before calling. Reviews help, as long as they're gathered carefully.
When to ask
- At a clear milestone: a return filed, a matter closed, a project delivered.
- After a meeting where the client has expressed satisfaction.
- Not while a dispute or sensitive matter is ongoing.
How to ask
- A short email after the milestone, with the direct review link.
- A line and QR code on the final invoice.
- A card or stand at the reception desk for in-person clients.
Confidentiality in replies
- Never confirm that someone is a client, or mention their matter, in a public reply.
- Keep replies general: thank them, and invite them to get in touch privately.
- For a negative review, respond politely without discussing specifics.
Stay within the rules
- Ask every client, not just the ones you expect to be positive.
- No fee discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews.
- Check your professional body's guidance on testimonials and advertising.
Frequently asked questions
- Can we reply to a review that mentions a client's case?
- Reply warmly but generally — thank them, without confirming any details of their matter. Confidentiality comes before everything else.
- Are there professional rules on reviews?
- Some professions have rules about advertising and testimonials. Check your professional body's guidance before running a review request process.
