Can we ask young students to review us?
Don't ask children. Give the card to the parent or guardian; adult students can get it themselves.
When is the best time to give the card?
After a milestone: a recital, a first complete piece, a passed audition, or the end of a term.
I teach in my home studio. Will my address show?
That depends on whether students come to you or you go to them. We look at how you teach and recommend a storefront or service-area setup, so your home address isn't shown unless it should be.
How does verification work for a music teacher?
A studio verifies like any storefront. A teacher who goes to students' homes can usually be a service-area profile with a hidden address. Google chooses how you verify.
Will the report show which instruments or teachers people mention?
Yes. If reviews keep mentioning certain instruments, teachers or recitals, the report shows those patterns.
Is there anything we should avoid asking customers?
Yes: never ask for a specific star rating or wording, never offer anything in return for a review, and never ask only the customers you think are happy. The card simply makes it easy for everyone to leave an honest review.
