How Sakari Helps Automate Review Facilitation
In the pest control industry, your online reputation can make or break your business. Customers are choosing between you and a competitor based on Google reviews, star ratings, and recent feedback. But most happy customers don’t leave a review unless you ask—and email alone isn’t enough.
That’s why top pest control businesses are turning to SMS review requests. It’s the fastest, most effective way to collect more 5-star reviews and build trust with local homeowners.

Why Text Message Review Requests Work
You just wrapped up a service. The customer is relieved. The pests are gone. That’s the perfect time to ask for a review—and SMS gets it done instantly.
- Higher visibility: 98% open rates beat email every time
- Real-time timing: Texts can be triggered the moment a job is marked complete
- Effortless for the customer: One tap, one link, done
Whether you’re a solo operator or managing a fleet, SMS helps you build your digital word-of-mouth at scale.
When to Send Review Request Texts
Here are four pest-control-specific scenarios where a review request makes sense:
1. Immediately After Service Completion
“Thanks for trusting BugFree Pest Control today! If you have a minute, we’d love your feedback: [link]”
2. Same-Day Follow-Up (If No Review Yet)
“Just checking in—how did we do today? If everything was great, a quick Google review would mean the world to us: [link]”
3. After a Re-Treatment or Guarantee Visit
“We appreciate your patience during the follow-up. If you’re happy with the service, would you mind leaving us a review? [link]”
4. After 3+ Visits or Long-Term Client Engagement
“It’s been a pleasure serving you over the last few months! If you’re satisfied, we’d be grateful for a quick review: [link]”

FAQs About SMS Review Requests for Pest Control
When is the best time to send a review request via SMS?
Right after a service visit is completed—ideally within 5 to 15 minutes while the experience is still fresh. This timing significantly increases the likelihood of receiving a positive review.
Can I automate review requests through my CRM?
Yes. With Sakari, you can automatically trigger SMS review requests using customer lifecycle events, like job completions or technician checkouts, through tools like HubSpot and other field service platforms.
What should I include in the message?
Keep it short, friendly, and include a direct link to your review site (Google, Yelp, etc.). Personalizing with the customer's name and service type can also increase response rates.
How many times should I follow up if they don’t leave a review?
One follow-up message—sent 24 to 48 hours later—is usually effective. Avoid over-messaging to prevent opt-outs.
Are SMS review requests compliant with texting laws?
Yes, as long as customers have opted into text communications. Sakari includes tools to help manage compliance, opt-ins, and unsubscribe handling.
