February 6, 2025

Create a Google review link from your Business Profile and turn it into a QR code. Step-by-step, print tips, and best practices to get more real reviews—fast.

A Google Reviews QR code helps customers leave a review in seconds—no searching for your business name. Google itself recommends sharing a review link or QR code to request reviews. (Google Help) This guide shows you how to: 1. Get your Google review link 2. Convert it into a QR code 3. Print it correctly so it scans reliably 4. Ask for reviews the right way (without breaking policies)

1) What Is a Google Reviews QR Code?

It’s a QR code that opens your Google Business Profile review form directly. Many profiles use a g.page/.../review type link.

2) How to Get Your Google Review Link (2 Easy Methods)

Method A (Recommended): From Google Business Profile 1. Sign in to your Google Business Profile manager 2. Look for “Get more reviews” / “Ask for reviews” 3. Copy the provided review link This is the simplest official approach. Method B: Using Place ID (Useful for multi-locations) If you need a “direct” format using Place ID, Google provides a Place ID Finder sample.

3) Turn the Link into a QR Code (Using SmartQR)

1. Copy your review link 2. Open SmartQR QR generator 3. Paste the link → Generate 4. Download as SVG (best for print) or PNG (high resolution) 5. Test scan on iPhone + Android CTA: <a href="/qr/create">Create your Google Reviews QR code now</a>.

4) Print Tips (So It Always Scans)

• Size: Use at least 3–4 cm on receipts/flyers; go bigger for posters • Contrast: Dark QR on a light background • Quiet zone: Leave empty space around the QR • Avoid glare: Prefer matte surfaces (Internal links: <a href="/articles/qr-code-size-guide">Size Guide</a>, <a href="/articles/best-qr-code-colors">Best QR Code Colors</a>, <a href="/articles/qr-code-not-scanning-fix">Not Scanning Fix</a>)

5) Best Places to Put Your Review QR

• Checkout counter (“Scan to review us on Google”) • Receipts and invoices • Delivery packaging • Table tents (restaurants/cafés) • Appointment cards (clinics/salons) • Email signature (use link + QR image)

6) Asking for Reviews the Right Way (Important)

Do not offer incentives (money, discounts, gifts) in exchange for reviews—Google prohibits incentivized reviews. Also avoid selectively requesting only positive reviews; ask all customers fairly. Copy-paste request message (EN) “Thanks for visiting! If you have a minute, please scan this QR code to leave an honest Google review. Your feedback helps us improve.”

FAQ

Can I use a QR code to ask customers for Google reviews? Yes—Google Business Profile Help mentions using a link or QR code to request reviews. Where do I find my Google review link? Usually inside your Google Business Profile manager under “Get more reviews / Ask for reviews” (share review form). Can I offer a discount for leaving a review? No—Google policies prohibit offering incentives in exchange for reviews. Why does my Google review QR open a browser instead of Maps? That can happen depending on device settings/login status; the link is still valid, but scanning experience can vary (test on multiple phones).
