Why asking every paid customer works

Most happy customers will not leave a review on their own; they simply move on. A short, timely ask with a direct link removes the effort. Tying the ask to "invoice paid in full" means it happens for every finished job, not only when someone remembers, so the number of asks grows with your business.

Set it up by hand

Get your review link. In Google Business Profile, choose "Ask for reviews" and copy the link.
Run a weekly report. In QuickBooks Online, list invoices paid in full in the last week.
Email the main contact. Thank them by name, include the link, keep it to two sentences.
Follow up once. If there is no review after a few days, send one reminder, then stop.
Track who you asked so repeat customers are not asked every invoice.

FAQ

Can QuickBooks Online send Google review requests automatically?

We have not found a built-in Google review request feature in QuickBooks Online. A connected app adds it. InvoiceStars uses Intuit sign-in (OAuth) and QuickBooks webhooks to see when an invoice is paid in full, then emails the customer your Google review link.

What is the best trigger for a review request?

An invoice paid in full (balance $0). The work is finished and the customer has closed it out. Deposits and partial payments are too early.

How long after payment should I ask?

InvoiceStars waits 2 days by default. You can set the delay anywhere from 0 to 30 days to match how long your customers need to see the result.

Will customers I bill every week get asked every week?

Not with InvoiceStars. Each customer gets at most one request in 90 days, and each request gets one reminder at most.

Is it allowed to offer a discount for a Google review?

No. Google's policy does not allow incentives for reviews or selectively asking only happy customers. Ask everyone the same way.

How do I know how many reviews I need?

Run the free Review Score checker. It compares your Google rating and review count with the top 3 nearby businesses in your category and estimates the gap to the leader.
