How to make a Google review QR code
- Copy your review link (see below) and paste it over the example link in the box above.
- Keep or change the description, for example “Enjoyed your visit? Review us on Google”.
- Download PNG at 4× or SVG for print, and scan it once with your own phone to check that the review form opens.
Find your Google review link
From your Business Profile (easiest)
- Sign in to the Google account that manages your business.
- Search Google for your business name, or open Google Maps. If the account manages the profile, its management panel should appear.
- Choose Read reviews → Get more reviews and copy the link it shows. Depending on the interface, the button may instead say Ask for reviews. The link often looks like
https://g.page/r/…/review.
Google changes the layout of this panel from time to time. If you don’t see the option, look for a “Get more reviews” card in the profile panel, or consult Google’s current instructions.
From your Place ID
If you don’t manage the profile yourself, or the review-link option is missing, you can try the Place ID method. Look up your business in Google’s Place ID Finder (part of the Google Maps Platform documentation), copy the ID and put it at the end of this address:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID
Open the finished link on your phone before making the code. Check that it shows the correct business and the review form.
Where to put the code
- Counter stand or table tent by the till or on tables, where people wait anyway.
- Receipts and invoices, printed at the bottom with a short line of text.
- Business cards and thank-you cards handed over with an order or after a job.
- Packaging and inserts for online orders.
- Hotel rooms and holiday rentals, in the welcome folder or on the check-out note.
- Email signatures and newsletters: the plain link works too, but a code helps people who read on a computer and use their phone to scan it.
Printing tips
- Say what the code does. “Scan to review us on Google” is clearer than a bare code.
- Size it for the distance. About 3 cm on a card, 5–6 cm on a stand, larger on a wall poster. See the QR code size guide.
- Dark on light, with a white margin. Keep the quiet zone around the code and don’t print it on a busy photo.
- Add your logo in the middle if you like (options → Logo). Test-scan the printed result.
- Several locations? Each location has its own review link. Put them in a spreadsheet and make all the codes at once with the bulk QR code generator.
Stay within Google’s review rules
Google wants reviews to reflect real experiences. Under its policy for user-contributed content:
- No incentives. Don’t offer discounts, free items, prize draws or money for a review, not even for an honest one.
- No review gating. Don’t ask only customers you expect to be satisfied, and don’t screen people with a “Were you happy?” step before sending them to Google.
- No reviews from people with a conflict of interest. Owners and staff should not review their own business. Don’t have someone else post a review pretending to be a customer on your behalf.
Breaking these rules can get reviews removed and restrictions placed on the profile. Many countries also have consumer-protection laws against fake or bought reviews. A visible code that invites every customer to share honest feedback is a better approach.
Why this code keeps working
The code contains your Google link directly, with nothing in between. You don’t need an account here, there is no subscription and no scan limit imposed by this service. The code keeps working even if you never visit this site again, as long as Google keeps the review link working. Read more about QR codes that never expire.
