For consulting firms
After the final readout, the books close, or the project wraps, Good Work Reviews drafts a short note. You approve it. Then the client can leave a Google review — or send a referral.
Most of your work happens behind closed doors. One note at the end lets the client say so.
Nothing reaches a client until you say yes.

Needs your approval
Hi Chris —
Thanks again for trusting us with the cleanup and the year-end close.

If another owner you know needs help with their books, here’s a short link you can send them — or fill in their name yourself: Referral link

No note goes out until you approve it.
When to send
When the note goes out: after the final readout, when the books close, or after a milestone the client can feel. You pick the moment. You approve the note.
Plan handed off — good time to ask
Cleanup or year-end done
Raise closed, audit done, or new system live
Client can feel it’s finished
One note per milestone you pick. No follow-up nagging unless you send it.

FAQ
Google, so the firm shows up when someone searches your name. Clutch or another site if you already use it. You pick the link in the note.
After the engagement wraps or a milestone the client can feel — final readout, books closed, a raise or audit done. On a monthly retainer, ask after a big milestone, not every month.
