Question 1

How do I create a Google review QR code?

Accepted Answer

Paste the review link from your Google Business Profile — or your business's Place ID — customize the colors and logo, and download the QR code. Customers who scan it land straight on the review box for your business, with the star rating ready to tap.

Question 2

Where do I find my Google review link?

Accepted Answer

In your Google Business Profile, open "Read reviews" and then "Get more reviews", and copy the short link Google shows you. It looks like https://g.page/r/…/review. Google creates that link for you — it cannot be assembled by hand.

Question 3

Why is my Google Maps link not accepted?

Accepted Answer

A plain Google Maps listing link, or a short maps.app.goo.gl link, opens the map rather than the review box, so the customer still has to hunt for the review button. Use the review link from your Business Profile, or your Place ID, and the code opens the review form directly.

Question 4

Can I use my Place ID instead of a review link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to the Place ID option and paste the ID Google uses for your business — you can find it with Google's Place ID Finder. Check that the ID belongs to your listing before printing, or the code will collect reviews for another business.

Question 5

Is it allowed to ask customers for reviews with a QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Google encourages businesses to ask customers for reviews, and a QR code on the counter, receipt or table is simply a faster way to hand over the link. What is not allowed is offering payment, discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, or showing the code only to customers you expect to be happy.
