Turn your Google review form into a short link and a QR code. Free, with no sign-up, ready to print for the van, invoices and cards.

How to find your link

Option 1: the "Ask for reviews" link (easiest)

  1. Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile.
  2. Search Google for your business name. Your profile tools show at the top of the results.
  3. Click Ask for reviews (it can also sit under Read reviews or Get more reviews).
  4. Copy the link Google gives you. It starts with https://g.page/r/. Paste it above.

Option 2: your Place ID

  1. Open Google's Place ID Finder.
  2. Type your business name into the map search and pick your listing.
  3. Copy the Place ID (it usually starts with ChIJ) and paste it above.

Using it, step by step

  1. Open your Google Business Profile and pick Ask for reviews. Copy the short link that begins g.page/r. If you would rather, paste your Place ID, which starts ChIJ and can be looked up with Google's Place ID Finder. A maps.app.goo.gl share link is the wrong kind and will not work.
  2. The tool returns a review link. Click the test link once to be sure it opens your own review form.
  3. Save the QR code as a PNG, or as an SVG if it is going on something big such as van vinyl.
  4. Put the link in a text or email, or print the code where customers will look at it.

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded, and the QR code goes direct to Google rather than via a getmitch address, so it does not expire.

Example: a heating firm in Bolton

Think of Hartley Heating Services, a two-man firm in Bolton (an invented business). Kev copies the Ask for reviews link from his profile, pastes it into the tool and gets a QR code. He puts the plain link into the text he sends after each boiler service and prints the code on the bottom of his invoices. His Checkatrade and Trustpilot pages collect reviews separately; this link only feeds Google.

Places the code earns its keep

  • Van rear doors and sides. A van sat in traffic is read for several seconds. Make the code large with a clear white margin all round.
  • Invoices and quotes. Print it near the total. The customer is already on that page.
  • Business cards. It fits, as long as it stays at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide.
  • Paper job sheets and gas safety paperwork. Point at the code when you hand the customer their copy.

Getting the print size right

Cards and invoices: 2 cm (about 0.8 in) across at the least. For vehicles and signs, work on roughly 1 cm of code per 10 cm of scanning distance, so around 30 cm (12 in) if people will scan from 3 m (10 ft). Dark ink on a light background works best, with a blank border. Scan a proof with your own phone before the print run.

Asking without remembering to

Plan: On the Local plan

Send in the finished job from your phone and the customer gets a text with your review link 24 to 72 hours later. Mitch then drafts a reply once the review is in. It needs the customer's mobile number and a consent tick, and nothing is sent until you approve. Texting customers is covered by UK GDPR and PECR; this is general information, not legal advice.

Questions answered

Is it really free?
Yes. There is nothing to sign up for, no watermark, and no limit on how many you make.
Will the QR code stop working?
No. The code points straight at Google, not through our site, so it carries on working whatever happens to getmitch. It only breaks if Google changes your listing, for example if the business is removed or merged with another.
What size should I print the QR code?
At least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide on business cards and invoices. On a van or sign, a rough guide is 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance, so a code people scan from 3 m (10 ft) away wants to be around 30 cm (12 in) wide.
Does it work in the UK, US and Australia?
Yes. Google review links behave the same wherever you are, so it works for a UK profile.
Do you keep what I paste in?
No. The link and QR code are made in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to us.
Can the review request go out on its own after each job?
That is what Mitch does on the Local and Complete plans. Submit the finished job from your phone and Mitch texts the customer your review link 24 to 72 hours later, then drafts a reply when the review comes in.
