Google review QR code
A card on the counter, one scan, and the customer lands straight on the review form. The catch is getting the right link.
Step 1: get the review link
The QR code only points at an address. All the value is in that address: it must open the "Rate and review" window directly, with no step in between.
- From your Business ProfileSign in at google.com/business, open your location, click "Ask for reviews". Google shows a short link like g.page/r/… — that is the one.
- Or from Google SearchSearch your exact business name, open the panel on the right, click the review count, then "Write a review". Copy the address of the page that opens.
- Test the linkOpen it in a private window. You should see the stars and the comment box straight away, with your business name and logo.
Do not shorten the link yourself with a third-party service to "tidy it up". The Google link is already short, and a shortener adds a dependency that can fail. Paste the Google link as-is into the generator.
Step 2: generate the code
Paste the link in the field below. A few notes specific to this use:
- Keep the code black on white, or a dark shade of your brand colour. A review sign is often read quickly in whatever light is around: contrast wins.
- "Medium" error correction is enough as long as you add no logo. If you place the Google logo or yours in the middle, switch to maximum and stay under 20 %.
- Export SVG for a printer, or PNG at 1024 px if you make the sign yourself.
Step 3: the sign
- A clear line above the code. "Your review helps us" or "Rate us on Google" converts better than a bare code.
- A6 or A5 on the counter, code at least 4 cm across. On a table stand, 3 cm is enough.
- Matt lamination. Counters are often under direct light; a glossy sign becomes unreadable.
- The right moment. The code works best offered at the end — at payment or on the way out — when the customer is happy and free.
- On the receipt too: a small code at the bottom of the bill reaches customers who left without being asked.
What not to do
Google forbids review gating: a page that first asks "are you satisfied?" and only sends happy customers to Google. It is detectable and exposes your listing to review removal or suspension. The QR code must send everyone to the same form. Likewise, never offer anything in return (a discount, a free drink) for a review — that also breaks the rules.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my review link?
In your Google Business Profile, the "Ask for reviews" button gives you a short g.page link. Or from your panel in Search, via "Write a review".
Does it cost anything?
No. The link is free from Google and the QR code is free too. Paid kits mostly sell a laminated stand.
Can I keep only the good reviews?
No. Review gating breaks Google's rules and can get your listing penalised. The code sends everyone to the same form.
Does the customer need a Google account?
Yes, leaving a review requires one. Most Android users have one.
What if I change address?
As long as the listing stays the same, the link and the code do not change.
