Make leaving a review one tap.
Most happy customers mean to leave a review and never find the button. Give them a direct link and a QR code, and the ask takes seconds.
Paste the review link from your Business Profile, or the Place ID for your business. The steps to find either one are below.
Ask everyone the same way. Google does not allow offering anything in return for a review.
Your review link
Paste your Place ID or review link and your link, QR code, and printable card appear here. Nothing is sent to a server. It all happens in your browser.
Where to find your link
Fastest: copy the link Google gives you
Sign in to your Google Business Profile, either in Google Search or Maps. Choose "Ask for reviews" (sometimes shown as "Get more reviews") and copy the link it shows. Paste it into the tool.
Or: find your Place ID
Open Google's Place ID Finder, search for your business name, and copy the code that appears under it. It is one long string that usually starts with ChIJ.
Test before you print
Open the link on your phone. It should land straight on the review form for your business, not on a search page.

Questions owners ask
What the link does, and how to ask for reviews the right way.
What is a Google review link?
It is a web address that opens the review form for one specific business. Instead of asking a customer to search for you and find the review button, they tap once and start writing.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The link and QR code are built inside your browser. Nothing you paste is stored or sent to my server.
Can I offer a discount in exchange for a review?
No. Google's review policy does not allow offering money, discounts, or gifts for reviews, and it does not allow asking only happy customers. Ask every customer the same way.
Where should I put the QR code?
Wherever the job ends: the counter, the invoice, the receipt, the van door, or a card handed over at the end of a visit. The best moment to ask is right after the customer says they are happy.
Do reviews help my Google Maps ranking?
Google says review count and rating are part of how it judges a business's prominence in local results. Reviews also shape whether a searcher chooses you once they see you. They are one input among several, not a switch.
