Key things to know
T+24h NPS prompt

Promoters (9–10)
Auto-thanks + direct Google review deep-link to your branch.
Detractors (0–6)
Routes privately to the manager — empathetic message + escalation in the manager inbox.
Day-7 nudge
Friendly second touch for non-responders — protects review velocity.
People also ask
Q.When should I ask a dental patient for a Google review?
24 hours after the visit — late enough for the patient to settle, early enough that the visit is still vivid. Add a 7-day reminder for non-responders.
Q.Is it allowed to incentivize Google reviews?
No. Google bans incentivized reviews. The cadence below uses an NPS gate plus a friendly request — no gift cards, no discounts.
Q.What's a good review-request reply rate?
Most dental clinics see 18–28% of patients leaving a Google review when asked via WhatsApp — 5–8× SMS/email benchmarks.
Q.What if the patient is unhappy?
The NPS gate routes promoters to Google and detractors to your clinic manager privately — protecting the public rating and surfacing real problems internally.
Q.Can I auto-thank reviewers?
Yes — when a patient confirms they've posted, an auto thank-you fires with the next-recall date or a loyalty perk.
Q.Does it work for multi-location practices?
Yes — each branch has its own Google review link; review-pace and rating tracked per branch in the dashboard.
Why most review-request flows fail (or get clinics flagged)
SMS and email review blasts net <4% reviews — and asking only happy-looking patients is review-gating, which violates Google's policy.
The NPS-gated WhatsApp flow asks every patient one question first. Promoters get a Google link, detractors get a private message to the clinic manager. Policy-safe, conversion-optimized.
