How do I request reviews from my clients?
Using RankMyAgent's editable templates (we call them Review Requests) in your Virtual Office, you can easily send out review invitations to your clients. Why send them from RankMyAgent?
Our Review Requests are a great way for you to track who you've sent a Review Request to, as well as allowing your clients to leave you a review with one click of a button!
To do this, simply click on the "Request Review" button (which you can access from any page while logged in), enter your client's email address and press send! You can save your edited template by clicking on the button that says "save template" before sending a review.
Watch this video tutorial:
Or, here's an easy 6 step guide:
1) Log into your RankMyAgent account and click on the "Request Review" button.
2. You will be taken to this page below and you can start entering the name or email address of the person you would like to send a request to. If the person is in your contact list, a drop down blue menu will appear and you can select the person from the list. If they are not on your list, then you can start typing their email and select them. You will have an option to add them to your contacts.
3) As you type the name an/or email address of your client, the contacts that match will appear on the dropdown list. Once the desired contact appears, select them from the list.
*Note: Once you've successfully selected the contact you want to send a request for a review to, their email will show up below the 'Send Request to' in blue. You can add multiple contacts to a single review request!
* Note for brokerage accounts: We've added a new function for brokerages to request reviews on behalf of the agents within your brokerage. Log in to your brokerage account; hit request review; on this page, there will be another field labelled "Select Agent" above the "Send Request To" field. Simply click that search bar and a dropdown list of all your agents will appear, select the agent you would like to send the request for a review on behalf of and proceed as per normal.
4) Next, select a template to send to your client by clicking the arrows on the far right of the "Template" bar. A dropdown list should appear with all the templates you have saved. (Learn how to save templates here). Once you've selected your desired template, you can still edit and make changes to the template in the "Subject" and "Message" boxes.
- If you have not already saved a template, feel free to use and edit our default template in the "Subject" and "Message" box. Once you've edited it, if you'd like to save your message as a template to reuse in the future simply checkmark the button at the bottom of the page that says "save request review as template".
- If you would like to receive a copy of the email in your inbox that your client will receive in theirs, please checkmark the "send a copy of the email request to myself". Your newly sent request review email will land in whatever email inbox you used to sign up for your RankMyAgent account.
5) Finally, you need to press the "Send Request" button and your request will be sent. After you press the button, the page will refresh and then you may send another Review Request!
6) To see the Review Requests that you've sent or check on the status of your review request (to see if it is sent or if you client has opened it), go to "My Account" > then click "Review Stats". Take a peek at this faq to learn more about how the Review Stats page tracks your Review Requests.
Congratulations! You've successfully sent a request for a review!
