Google Review Link & QR Code Generator

How to use your Google review link

Send the link after a real visit, purchase, or completed service. Keep your invitation short and let the customer decide what to say. The QR code contains the same direct Google URL, so you can use a link online and a code at your physical location.

• Post-visit email: include one clear review link.
• SMS or WhatsApp: message customers who agreed to hear from you.
• Email signature: add a simple review invitation.
• Receipts: print the QR beside a neutral request.
• Counter signs: keep the code visible and easy to scan.
• Website: link a “Leave a review” button.
• Invoices: use the same footer for every customer.
• Packaging: add a card after a genuine purchase.

Get your link directly from Google

If you manage the profile, sign in to the correct Google account and open your Google Business Profile. Select Read Reviews → Get more reviews, then copy the link. Google also provides a QR download on a computer browser. These owner controls are different from the public Maps Share button, which shares the listing.

Google documents the current steps in its review link and QR code help. Without owner access, use the public generator above and check the location carefully.

Google review link formats explained

A Place ID identifies a location in Google Maps. This generator validates that ID and creates search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=…. An owner-provided share link may instead look like g.page/r/…/review. You do not need to convert one into the other.

The downloaded code points straight to Google, with no Reply Champion redirect. Avoid putting an optional URL shortener between your printed code and Google: that adds another account or service to maintain. Place IDs can change, so check older materials periodically.

Print a QR code customers can scan

Use the 1024-pixel PNG for everyday printing or SVG when a designer needs to resize the artwork. Keep the code black on white and leave its white border intact. The downloads include the four-module quiet zone recommended by DENSO WAVE.

Choose a size that scans comfortably at the expected distance. Test the final printed sample with more than one phone, under the lighting where customers will use it. Avoid folds, glare, stretched artwork, or a logo over the squares. Use a separate code for each branch and scan it yourself before placing a bulk print order.

Invite honest feedback from every customer

Send the same request to every customer with a genuine experience. Do not first ask whether they are happy and show the Google link only to positive respondents. Never offer a discount, gift, or other incentive for a review, and do not request particular words or a star rating.

Give people room to respond in their own time, without pressure at checkout. These practices follow Google’s review policy. Our Google review policy guide explains how to keep requests neutral.

Troubleshooting your link

No business found? Add a city or street to the business name. You can also paste a Place ID or supported Google Maps link. Some shortened links, numeric CID links, and sharing formats cannot be resolved; search by name and city instead.

Wrong branch? Choose Change, search again, and check the full address and Maps listing. A closed-location warning needs attention before you share the code.

Copy or download blocked? Select the displayed text to copy manually, or open the QR image and save it from your browser. Test the review link too: customers must sign in to a Google account before posting.
