Google review link and QR code generator
A direct link takes customers straight to the review box, so more of them actually leave one. Paste your Place ID to make your link and a printable QR code.
A Google review link opens the review box for your business directly, so customers can leave a review in two taps. You make it from your Google Place ID. Send it by text the day you finish a job, or print it as a QR code for your invoices and van.
Paste your Place ID to make your link and QR code.

Start freeHow it works
Every business on Google Maps has a Place ID. Put it into Google's review address and the link opens the "write a review" box for your business, with no searching:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID
If you manage your Google Business Profile, its "Ask for reviews" button gives you a short link too. Both work; this one also gives you a message to send and a QR code to print for your van, invoices or leave-behind cards.
Getting more reviews from the link
- Send it the day the job is done, by text.
- Use the customer's name and mention the job (our review request templates do this for you).
- Send one reminder a few days later, then stop.
- Reply to every review, good or bad, within a day or two (try the review reply generator).
Questions
Where do I find my Place ID?
Open Google's Place ID Finder, type your business name as it appears on Google Maps, and copy the code it shows (it usually starts with ChIJ).
Is it allowed to ask customers for reviews?
Yes. Google's rules say ask every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer a discount or gift in return. Reviews you pay for or filter can be removed.
When should I send the link?
The same day you finish the job, while the customer is still pleased. A text works better than an email for most contractors.
Does the link work on phones?
Yes. It opens the review box in the Google Maps app or the browser. The customer needs to be signed in to a Google account to post.
