Review generation strategy

Review Generation Strategy

Design a repeatable process for earning more credible customer reviews. Focus on timing and prompts that yield authentic, useful reviews.

Quick Reference

Key Insight: Ask when the customer just achieved a result or recognized value. Avoid asking too early or immediately after friction.

When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:

• generate more reviews
• improve review quality
• plan review acquisition
• design review prompts or timing

Workflow

Step 1: Define Channel and Goal

Identify:

• review channel (G2, Capterra, Google, Trustpilot, etc.)
• goal (volume, quality, specific use case)
• product or service type

Step 2: Timing

Reference [references/review-timing.md](./references/review-timing.md):

After Success Moment – When the customer just achieved a result or recognized value

After Support Resolution – When trust was reinforced by support

After Campaign Result – When the product has measurable outcome milestones

Avoid – Too early, or immediately after friction unless clearly satisfied

Step 3: Prompts

Design prompts that:

• are specific (not "How was your experience?")
• guide toward useful detail (outcome, comparison, use case)
• are short and easy to complete
• work across channels

Step 4: Response Framework

Plan how to respond to reviews:

• positive: thank, ask for permission to use
• negative: acknowledge, resolve, follow up
• neutral: invite more detail

Step 5: Output Structure

Produce:

• timing triggers and triggers to avoid
• prompt templates by channel
• response framework
• operational cadence

Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:

• [ ] Timing aligns with success moments
• [ ] Prompts guide toward useful content
• [ ] Response framework is clear
• [ ] Low-value timing is avoided
