Cold email templates for review management

A three-email sequence for review-management and reputation agencies — short, specific and easy to personalise from your lead list.

Updated Oct 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Who these templates are for

These templates are written for review-management and reputation agencies. Each email is short enough to read on a phone, makes one specific offer and asks one easy question.

Where to find the list

Build the list from Google Maps with Prospect Cheap. Filter by review count below competitors and ratings between 3.5 and 4.4, then sort by Maps rank.

Personalisation fields

  • {FirstName}
  • {Company}
  • {Reviews}
  • {Rating}
  • {City}

Map these to columns in your export (Instantly and GoHighLevel exports already use standard names). Set fallbacks for any field that can be empty.

Email 1 — first email

Subject: {Company} reviews

Hi {FirstName} — {Company} has {Reviews} reviews averaging {Rating}. The three businesses ranked above you in {City} have several times more.

Most of the gap comes from not asking at the right moment. I can share the simple routine our clients use — want it?

Email 2 — follow-up (day 3–4)

Subject: Re: {Company} reviews

Hi {FirstName} — the routine takes about two minutes per customer and typically adds reviews every week. Should I send the steps?

Email 3 — final follow-up (day 8–10)

Subject: Re: {Company} reviews

Hi {FirstName} — last one from me. If reviews become a priority, reply "reviews" and I'll send the routine.

Tips

  • Frame it as an easy gap, not a bad reputation.
  • Never suggest buying or filtering reviews.
  • Show competitor numbers from the same search.
  • Send from a warmed-up, authenticated domain and keep daily volume modest — see deliverability basics.
  • Stop the sequence when someone replies, and remove anyone who opts out.

Make them your own

Templates are a starting point. Replace the observation in the first line with something real about each prospect — the data in your lead list makes that quick. See personalising cold email at scale.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — use and adapt them freely. They work best when the first line mentions something specific about each prospect.
