Google review link and QR code generator
Paste your Google review link: the tool makes a static QR code in PNG and SVG, a printable counter card, and a text and an email you can send to customers. It is free, needs no account, and a static code keeps working as long as your link does.
Make your QR code
Copy the link from your Google Business Profile: Read reviews, Get more reviews, Copy. The detailed steps are just below. A Place ID works too.
Paste your Google review link or Place ID: the QR code, the printable card and ready-to-send messages appear here.
Everything runs in your browser: your link is not sent anywhere and nothing is stored.
Where to find your Google review link
According to Google's help page, the official link and QR code live in the same place:
- Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile and go to your profile.
- Select Read reviews, then Get more reviews.
- Select Copy, then paste the link into the tool above.
Google notes that "reviews QR codes can only be generated on a computer browser, not on mobile devices." On a phone, copy the link in the Google Maps app instead (your business profiles, then the reviews section) and paste it here: this tool makes the QR code on any device.
The right link usually starts with https://g.page/r/ and ends with /review. A maps.app.goo.gl or g.co link opens your profile, not the review window, and the tool will tell you so.
Which file to use, and where
The same link works everywhere. Only the format changes.
| Where | Format | In the tool |
|---|---|---|
| Text 1 to 3 hours after the visit | Link | Copy the text |
| Thank-you email, email signature | Link | Copy the email or Copy link |
| Front desk, waiting room, salon mirror | Card with QR code | Print 4 cards |
| PDF invoice or receipt | QR code | Download PNG |
| Window sticker, poster, truck (at the printer) | Vector QR code that scales without blur | Download SVG |
Google's rules, and Canada's rules for texts
Google's policy says merchants may not "offer incentives" for reviews, "such as payment, discounts, free goods and/or services", nor "selectively solicit positive reviews from customers", or "require or pressure users to leave ratings or write reviews while on the premises". In practice:
- send the link to every customer, not only the happy-looking ones;
- no discount or contest tied to a review;
- no pressure at the counter: the card stays there and the customer decides.
The messages the tool writes name the business and offer a way to opt out. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation requires both in a commercial electronic message (section 6), on top of consent. This is general information, not legal advice.
To send the request after every customer without thinking about it, Always Booked's automated follow-up texts your review link for you, from $600 setup, then $125 a month.
Questions
Does the QR code expire?
No. The code holds your review link directly, without going through a provider's server. It works as long as the link works: test it again if you recreate or merge your profile.
Do you see or keep my link?
No. Your browser computes the code. The link is not sent to any server and nothing is stored.
Can I make the QR code on my phone?
Yes. Google only generates its QR code on a computer, but you can copy the link in the Google Maps app, paste it here and download the PNG.
Can I see how many people scanned it?
A static code does not count scans. Count your new reviews each month instead and compare them with the number of customers you served.
