Every Prague business wants more Google reviews; most either beg awkwardly or flirt with buying them. The first is ineffective, the second is dangerous — Google deletes purchased reviews and can penalize profiles. The good news: legitimate review generation is a system, not luck.

Timing is everything

Ask at the peak of satisfaction, not days later by email: the QR on the receipt, the card handed with dessert, the message right after the delivered project. The distance between “delighted” and “asked” is measured in minutes — every hour after, response rates fall.

Make it a ten-second act

A QR or short link straight to your review form — not to your profile, where they must hunt for the button. Every removed step doubles completion.

What’s banned (and detected)

Paying for reviews, review swaps, staff reviews, and review gating — filtering unhappy customers away from Google while sending happy ones there. Ask everyone identically; your average survives, your legality too.

Replies breed reviews

Profiles where the owner visibly answers — warmly to praise, professionally to criticism — signal that reviews are read. People write where they’re heard; the reply culture is itself a review-generation tool.

The compounding math

One review a week is fifty a year — enough to transform most Prague profiles’ local ranking. We build review systems — QR cards, timing, reply templates — inside our marketing service. Ask for the setup; it runs itself after week one.
