Google review link and QR code generator

Type your business name and pick your profile from the list, or paste a link from Maps. You get a QR code ready to print on a table card or a receipt, and a link that opens the review window straight away.

  • A direct review link
  • A QR code in PNG and SVG
  • A card ready to print

Type the name and the city. Suggestions come from Google Maps, so you do not have to hunt for a link at all.

Not sure where to start? Try:
  • Type your business nameName and city are enough. The suggestions come from Google Maps.
  • Pick your profile from the listYou see the name and the address, so you cannot pick the wrong business.
  • Print it or send itPNG and SVG for print, plus a ready made card for the table.

A Maps link and a review link are two different things

The link you get from the Share button opens your profile. Your customer still has to find the reviews section, scroll, and tap the stars. Most people give up somewhere in there.

The link this tool builds opens the review window itself, with the rating stars already on screen. It is the same address that Google itself uses behind the "Ask for reviews" button in your profile dashboard, so nothing here is a workaround.

How to find your Place ID

A Place ID is the identifier Google gives every profile, and it looks like ChIJkbbPXTYzGUcRC2BIdYN7bl4. You do not need to hunt for it: paste any Maps link above and this tool reads the identifier out of it, in your browser, without sending anything anywhere.

If you already have the ID from somewhere else, paste it on its own. A CID number and a g.page link from your profile dashboard work too.

Where to put the QR code so somebody actually scans it

The best spot is wherever the customer is already happy and waiting: the table card, the payment terminal, the bottom of the receipt, the packing slip in the parcel.

  • A table card or a card handed with the bill, for anywhere with service at a table
  • A sticker at the till or on the door, at eye level, not below the counter
  • On the receipt or the packing slip, with one line saying what it is for
  • In your email signature, as a link rather than an image, so it survives every client

How big to print it so it still scans

A phone reads a code when the printed square is at least about two centimetres on the shorter distances, and roughly one tenth of the reading distance in general. Two centimetres on a table card is enough. A sticker on a shop door needs four or five.

For print, use the SVG file. It is a vector, so it stays sharp at any size, and unlike the PNG it will not blur when a printer scales it up. Keep the white margin around the code, and never place the code on a photo or a dark background.

What you must not do when asking for reviews

Two things get profiles into trouble. The first is offering anything in exchange for a review, including a discount, a free coffee or a prize draw. The second is review gating, which means asking how someone feels first and only showing the review link to the ones who answered positively.

Both break Google policy and both are visible from the outside. Ask everybody the same way, at the same moment, and let the stars fall where they fall. A three star review with a calm reply from you sells better than a wall of fives.

Ready wording for the ask

By text message: "Thanks for stopping by today. If you have half a minute, a review helps us a lot: [link]".

By email, after delivery: "Your order arrived. If it is what you expected, please tell others: [link]. If something is off, reply to this message instead and we will fix it."

In person: "We are collecting reviews on Google, the code on the card takes you straight to the form." Say it once, do not repeat it, and never stand over somebody while they write.

Common questions

Does my customer need a Google account?

Yes. Google shows a sign-in screen first and then the review window. That is Google's rule, not ours, and no tool can skip it.

Is the link permanent?

Almost always. Google warns that a profile identifier can change, for example after a move or a merge, so it is worth testing the code once a year, before you order a new batch of printed cards.

Does it work for a business without a street address?

Yes, as long as the profile exists in Maps. Use the full link from your browser rather than the app, because service area profiles sometimes share links without the identifier.

Do you store my profile or my link?

No. The link and the code are built in your browser. Our server is only involved when you paste a shortened maps.app.goo.gl link, because a browser is not allowed to expand it.

Once the reviews start coming in, the next question is where to show them. That is what our Google reviews widget does: it pulls the reviews you already have and puts them on your own pages.
