Get your review link in two minutes
There are two ways. The easiest one works if you manage your Google Business Profile: open the profile in Google Search or Google Maps, click Ask for reviews and copy the short link Google gives you. Paste it into the tool above to get a QR code and a printable card.
The second way uses your Place ID, the unique code of your business on Google Maps. Open Google's Place ID Finder, search for your business and copy the code that starts with "ChIJ". The tool turns it into a link like search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=…, which takes guests straight to the review form.
Where to put the QR code so people actually scan it
- Restaurants and cafés: a table stand or a small card with the bill. Guests have time while they wait to pay.
- Holiday rentals: next to the house rules, in the check-out message or on the key tag.
- Salons, clinics and services: at reception and in the follow-up message after the appointment.
- Online businesses: in the email you send after delivery or a finished job.
Ask for reviews without breaking Google's rules
Reviews are one of the strongest signals for showing up on Google Maps, but Google's policies are clear. Don't offer discounts, drinks or gifts in exchange for a review. Don't ask only happy customers (for example asking "were you satisfied?" first and sending the link only to those who say yes). And don't write reviews yourself or through staff. Breaking the rules can lead to removed reviews or restrictions on your profile.
What works is simple: ask every customer, at the right moment. The best moment is right after a good experience, when the guest tells you it was great.
Reply to every review
A short, polite reply to every review, good or bad, shows future customers that you care. For a negative review, thank the guest, acknowledge the problem if there was one, and offer to continue the conversation privately. Never share personal details of a guest.
