Issues With Links in Invoices

An invoice is not the best place to ask for reviews because you are already asking the customer for something else (to pay you).

Paying is the more important of the two tasks so they will do that first.

There is a good chance they will not remember to come back and write a review when they are done.

Review Request Emails

The solution is to send an email where the sole focus is posting a review.

QuickBooks Online does not have a setting for this, but there is an app on the QuickBooks Online app store that does.

It is called Simple Review Management.

Simple RM makes it easy to send review request emails that are optimized to get customers to post reviews.

Including a review link in your QuickBooks Invoice is a good first step, but if you are serious about getting every review possible Simple RM a must.
