Google Review Link and QR Code Generator
Paste your Google "Ask for reviews" link or Place ID and get a clean review link plus a QR code to print. Free, no sign-up, runs in your browser.
Your QR code
Put it on the back of your business card, your invoices, the van and the job sheet you leave behind. Customers point their phone camera at it and land on your review form.
PNG for printing at home and for messages. SVG for printers and sign makers, it stays sharp at any size.
How to find your link
Option 1: the "Ask for reviews" link (easiest)
- Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile.
- Search Google for your business name. Your profile tools show at the top of the results.
- Click Ask for reviews (it can also sit under Read reviews or Get more reviews).
- Copy the link Google gives you. It starts with
https://g.page/r/. Paste it above.
Option 2: your Place ID
- Open Google's Place ID Finder.
- Type your business name into the map search and pick your listing.
- Copy the Place ID (it usually starts with
ChIJ) and paste it above.
Steps
- In your Google Business Profile choose Ask for reviews and copy the link (it begins https://g.page/r/), or paste your Place ID.
- Copy the review link the tool returns and open it yourself once. It should land on your review form.
- Download the QR code. PNG suits screens and small prints. SVG stays sharp at any size, so use it for the ute.
- Send the link, or print the code where customers will see it.
The tool does the work in your browser, needs no account, and the code points at Google directly.
A working example
Priya runs a one-woman split system installation business out of Penrith (an example business). She copies the Ask for reviews link, drops it in the tool and downloads the SVG. A sticker with the code goes on the back of the ute, a small PNG goes on the footer of her invoice template, and a printed card stays in the toolbox for customers who want to leave a review there and then. Reviews on hipages or True Local are a separate matter, since this link is for Google only.
Where a QR code earns its keep
- Ute rear doors. Whoever is stopped behind you has a few seconds and a phone. Keep the code large with a white margin.
- Invoices and quotes. Put it near the payment details, when the customer is already looking at the page.
- Job completion sheets. Hand over the copy and point at the code before you go.
- Business cards. Works if the code is not shrunk below 2 cm.
Before you print a hundred
Dark code on a light background, clear border, and scan it with your own phone first. Test on a second phone as well, since camera apps differ. Vinyl stickers for vehicles should be printed from the SVG so the edges stay crisp.
Texting versus scanning
Handing someone a QR code is them acting on their own. Sending a text asking for a review is something you are doing to them, and in Australia that counts as a commercial message that needs consent. The ACMA says you cannot send a message just to ask for that consent. Get a yes in person or on a form first, and keep a record of it.
Plan: On the Local and Complete plans
Send in the finished job and Mitch texts your review link 24 to 72 hours later, then drafts a reply when the review lands. It needs the customer's mobile number and a consent tick, and nothing is sent without your approval.
