Google review link and QR code generator

Yes. Google My Business, usually shortened to GMB, is the old name of Google Business Profile. Google renamed the product, not the review link, so a GMB review link, a Google My Business review link and a Google Business Profile review link are one and the same address. This generator builds it for any profile you can find in Google Maps, from the business name or from a pasted Maps address.

Do I need access to the Google Business Profile dashboard?

No. The link and the QR code are built from the public profile in Google Maps, so the owner, a manager and an agency working for the business all get the identical address without signing in anywhere.

Can I get a GMB review QR code as well?

Yes. The QR code appears next to it as soon as the profile is recognised, as a PNG and an SVG file, together with a card ready to print.

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.

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.

Yes. This is a Google review card generator as well: once your profile is recognised, the Printable card button turns the same QR code into a card for the table. The card carries the heading "Leave us a review", one line asking the customer to scan the code and rate you on Google, and the code itself, which opens your review form rather than your Maps profile.

The print window opens with nothing but the card on the page. Print it, cut along the dashes and stand it on the table, at the till or next to the door, wherever customers wait for a moment with a phone in hand.

Is the review card free to print?

Yes, like the link and the QR code. There is no account to create, no watermark on the code and no limit on how many cards you print, so a card for every table costs the same as a single one.

Can I put the code on my own card design?

Yes. Download the SVG file and place it in your own business card, flyer or table tent in any design tool. It is a vector, so it stays sharp at any size. Keep the white margin around it and print the square at least two centimetres wide.

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

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.

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.
