How to Ask for Reviews for your Vet Clinic

Coming right out and asking a patient to leave a review may seem a bit awkward at first, but it's really not as intimidating as it may seem. It's actually one of the most effective ways to convert happy customers into satisfied online reviewers. If your vet clinic is looking for the cutting edge on getting more pet owners to choose your location, online reputation management for your vet clinic may be the answer! The more positive reviews and social signals that are circulating about your veterinary office, the better. Learn some best practices for asking for a review from your patients that you can start implementing around your practice today!

Have your receptionist work a review prompt into every patient interaction. 

Your front line employees are visiting with patients throughout their time in your office. Take this time to have them casually slip in some information about a review. If someone is raving about their experience (which we hope they are), have your staff let them know that you would appreciate their feedback online. This subtle nudge can easily sway a happy patient toward leaving a review on their own without the need for an additional prompt.

Send a link for patients to easily leave reviews.

Asking someone to go out of their way to find your profile on a specific review site or other social platform is asking a lot. Make it easy for your patients by sending a direct link along with your review prompt. This truly makes it much more convenient and your rate of patients actually leaving their feedback will likely skyrocket!

Correctly time the review prompt.

Sending the review prompt at the right time can help improve your conversion rate. You want to send a text or email prompt soon after your patient leaves the clinic. If it's immediately after, they may still be busy transporting their pet back home. Waiting too long can lead to a low return rate of reviews, as well. Test out a few different timing strategies to see which is most effective for your clinic.

Ask every patient to leave a review.

We understand it can be tempting to only send review prompts to patients whom you know are satisfied, but that strategy won't give you (the veterinarian or vet clinic manager) the best insight into your patient experience. Getting an actual look as to how every patient feels when leaving your facility can have a much bigger impact on how you run your business. Negative reviews are no fun and we understand that. They do present a fantastic learning experience for everyone on your team, though!
