The end of a project is the single best moment to ask for a testimonial. The work is done, the client has seen the results, and goodwill is at its highest. This guide shows you exactly how to structure that request using Feedspace so you get a specific, useful testimonial, not a vague one-liner.
What You Can Do
- Collect specific, result-focused testimonials using guided custom questions
- Get video, audio, or text reviews depending on what your client prefers
- Use the testimonial immediately on your portfolio, website, or LinkedIn profile
- Automate a single follow-up reminder so no client is forgotten
The Right Way to Ask
Most freelancers and agencies get weak testimonials because they ask too broadly: “Would you leave us a review?” A Feedspace form changes this by giving the client a structured experience with specific prompts, resulting in testimonials that mention real results, not just “great to work with.”
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Send the Form in Your Project Delivery Message
Include the Feedspace form link in the same email or message where you deliver the final work. Frame it naturally: “I’d love to capture your experience working together while it’s fresh, it takes about two minutes. [Link]”. Clients are most open to giving feedback when they have just received the finished product.
Step 2: Use Custom Questions to Guide the Response
Add two or three custom questions to the form before sending:
- “What was the main challenge you needed to solve with this project?”
- “What result or outcome are you most pleased with?”
- “What would you say to someone considering working with us?”
Clients who answer these questions naturally produce a before-and-after story that is far more compelling than a generic rating.
Step 3: Offer Video as the Primary Option
Enable video recording on the form. Many clients who would not write a long paragraph will happily talk for sixty seconds on camera. Make video the first option shown and text a secondary fallback so every client finds a format they are comfortable with.
Step 4: Send One Reminder if Needed
If the client has not submitted after five to seven days, send a single personal follow-up: “Just checking in, I wanted to make sure the review link worked for you. [Link]”. Keep it friendly and low-pressure. Most clients who intend to submit simply forgot.
Step 5: Approve and Use the Testimonial
Once the review arrives in your Feedspace workspace, approve it and use it: add it to your portfolio site, share it on LinkedIn, or embed it on a service page. A testimonial that mentions a specific result (“increased our website traffic by 40% in two months”) is worth far more than a generic quote.
Common Questions
What if the project ended on a difficult note?
Only send the review form to clients where the project ended well and the client expressed satisfaction. Sending to a dissatisfied client is unlikely to yield a useful testimonial and risks a negative response.
