How to Create a Google Review Link and QR Code for Your Business
Find your Google review link in your Business Profile, turn it into a QR code, and share it at the right moments so happy customers can leave a review in seconds.
Most happy customers are willing to leave a review. The problem is friction: they have to find your business on Google, find the review button and remember to do it later. A direct review link removes most of that. Here's how to get yours and where to use it.
Step 1: Get your review link from Google
- Sign in to the Google account that owns or manages your Business Profile.
- Search for your business name on Google or open it in Google Maps. You should see your profile management tools.
- Look for the option to ask for reviews or get more reviews. Google shows a short link you can copy.
Google moves these buttons around now and then, so if you can't spot it, check Google's own Business Profile help pages. If you don't see management tools at all, the profile may not be verified or you may be signed in to the wrong account. Our Google Business Profile optimization checklist covers the basics.
Step 2: Test the link
Open it on your phone while signed out or in a private window. It should take you straight to your review form. Check the business name and address are right before you share it anywhere.
Step 3: Turn it into a QR code
Paste the link into any reputable QR code generator and download a high-resolution image. A few tips:
- Prefer a static code. It encodes your link directly and doesn't depend on a third-party redirect that could stop working.
- Add a short instruction beside it, such as "Scan to review us on Google".
- Print it large enough to scan easily, and test the printed version before ordering in bulk.
Step 4: Share it at the right moments
Timing matters more than volume. Ask when the customer has just experienced the good part:
- Right after the job by text or email, while it's fresh.
- On the invoice or receipt as a QR code or link.
- At the counter or on a leave-behind card for in-person businesses.
- In your email signature as a quiet, always-on reminder.

Stay within Google's rules
- Don't offer discounts, gifts or entries into prize draws for reviews.
- Don't ask only happy customers while steering unhappy ones elsewhere.
- Don't write reviews for yourself or ask staff to.
Breaking these rules can lead to reviews being removed or other restrictions on your profile.
Then reply to what comes in
Every review, good or bad, deserves a short, genuine reply. It shows future customers you're listening. Our guide to responding to Google reviews has examples, and if something looks fake, read how to handle fake or unfair reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Google review link?
Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile, open your profile in Google Search or Maps, and look for the option to ask for or get more reviews. Google gives you a short link to share. The exact button names change from time to time.
Can I offer a discount in exchange for a Google review?
No. Google's policies prohibit offering incentives for reviews, and asking only happy customers to review while filtering out others (review gating) is also against its rules. Ask everyone fairly and let them say what they think.
Does the QR code ever expire?
A static QR code simply encodes your link, so it keeps working as long as the link does. Test it with a phone before you print it, and re-check it if you ever change the Google account or profile it points to.
