How interior designers can get more reviews
Interior designers get more reviews by asking right after the reveal, when the client is happiest, with a short personal message that makes it easy to respond. AI can draft the request and keep track of who has been asked. Never offer payment or write reviews for clients. Replies to every review help future clients trust you.

The reveal is the moment
When the last piece is placed and the client sees the finished room, they feel it most. A message that day or the next, with a direct link to where you would like the review, gets a better response than a generic request later.
Ask for specifics, gently
Suggest they might mention what the process was like, such as communication, how you handled budget or timing. Specific reviews help prospective clients see how you work.
Do not post photos of a client’s home or name them without their permission.
Answer them all
A thank-you that refers to the room builds trust. If a review is critical, reply calmly, acknowledge what went wrong and offer to talk. Others read how you respond.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
The morning after an install, a client receives a note saying how much you enjoyed the project, with a link to leave a few words.
A review mentions how you kept the budget on track. Your reply thanks them and mentions the vendor you sourced the table from.
Your list shows three finished projects from last quarter whose owners have not been asked. You send each a personal request this week.
The rules that apply, in their own words
“unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.”
“It is an unfair or deceptive act or practice and a violation of this part for a business to write, create, or sell a consumer review”

Questions
Can I ask for a review before the project is done?
It is better to wait for a natural high point, like the reveal. Asking too early can feel premature.
Should I filter reviews and only ask happy clients?
Do not discourage anyone from posting. Ask everyone, and use unhappy feedback to improve.
