How to make a Google review QR code

1. Get your direct Google review link

Open your business on Google Maps, tap Share, copy the link, and paste it into our free Google review link generator. That turns the Maps share link into the address that opens your review form. No Google login needed. More detail: how to find your Google review link.

2. Test the link before you print anything

Open the link in a private/incognito window on your phone. You should see your business name and the star rating form. If it opens the wrong listing, fix the Place ID or Maps link first — a QR code is only as good as the URL behind it.

3. Make a static QR code (not a free-trial dynamic one)

Use any QR generator that embeds the full URL in the code itself (a static code). Print that PNG or PDF.

Skip free-trial "dynamic" or "smart" QR services that route through their short domain. When the trial ends or the account lapses, the printouts keep looking fine but open a dead page. A static code pointing at Google's review URL keeps working as long as your Google listing does.

4. Size it so phones can read it

• Counter or window: at least 1–1.5 inches (about 2.5–4 cm) on a side, with quiet white space around the square
• Handouts and invoices: about 1 inch is enough if the print is sharp
• Truck, toolbox, or yard signs: larger — several inches — so someone can scan from a short step away
• Don't stretch, crop, or put text over the pattern

5. Where to put it

• Checkout counter, reception desk, or waiting area
• Leave-behind cards after a job
• Invoices, receipts, and estimate PDFs
• Truck doors, toolbox lids, and job-site stickers
• Business cards if the code stays large enough to scan

6. Stay inside Google's no-incentive rules

A QR code is just another way to open the review form. Don't offer discounts, gifts, or contest entries for scanning or reviewing. Ask every customer the same way — no screening out people you expect to be unhappy. See Google's review rules.

7. Pair the QR with a same-day ask

Codes catch walk-ins and in-person jobs. Customers who've already left still need a message. Send a short email or text with the same review link the day the job finishes, plus one reminder a few days later — then stop. ReviewAsk can send that same-day ask and the one reminder for you; the QR code is separate print material you make from your link. Templates: how to send your Google review link by text.
