Key takeaways

  • Your Google review link is in your Business Profile: Read reviews, then Get more reviews, then copy.
  • Each location has its own profile and its own link. Never share one link for all branches.
  • Google lets you download a QR code for the same link from a computer browser.
  • Test the link on a phone before you print it or send it to anyone.

Where to find your Google review link

Your Google review link is a short link that opens the "write a review" box for your business. To find it, sign in to your Business Profile on a computer, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link. Google shows a QR code for the same link on that screen (Google: create a link or QR code to request reviews).

If you do not manage the profile, or you need links for many locations at once, the free Google review link generator finds the link from your business name and adds a QR code and a WhatsApp message.

How to get your Google review link, step by step

  1. Sign in on a computer

    Use the Google account that owns or manages the Business Profile. Google says the QR code can only be generated on a computer browser, not on mobile.

  2. Open your Business Profile

    Search your business name on Google while signed in, or go to your profile from your Google account.

  3. Select Read reviews

    This opens the reviews panel for that location.

  4. Select Get more reviews

    Google shows your review link and a QR code.

  5. Copy the link or save the QR code

    Use the copy icon for the link. Right-click the QR code and save the image to print it.

  6. Test it

    Open the link on a phone. It should open the review box for the right location in one tap.

Other ways to make a Google review link

Google's share link is the simplest. Two other routes are useful when you manage many locations or build your own tools.

Place ID with the Places APIDevelopers building their own systemsA Google Maps Platform key

Every business on Google Maps has a Place ID, which you can look up with Google's Place ID Finder. Developers using the Places API (New) can request Google Maps links for a place, including one that opens the page to write a review and one that opens its reviews (Google: Google Maps links).

How to make a Google review QR code

A Google review QR code is the same link in a form people can scan. You can download Google's version from the Get more reviews screen, or use the Google review QR code generator for printable standees and counter cards with your name on them.

Where to share your Google reviews link

Google suggests putting the link on receipts, in thank-you emails, at the end of a chat and as a QR code in your store, and sending it by email, WhatsApp or a social post. The best place is the message you already send after every visit. The full asking system is in how to get more Google reviews.

Hi {first name}, thanks for visiting {business} today. If you have a minute, a Google review would really help us: {review link}

Send it to every customer the same day, not only to the ones who seemed happy.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Sharing one link for every branch

    Instead: Make a separate review link for each location so reviews land on the right profile.

  • Sending the link only to happy customers

    Instead: Send it to everyone. Selectively asking for positive reviews breaks Google policy (Google).

  • Adding "and get 10% off" next to the link

    Instead: Never pair the link with a reward. Google prohibits incentives for reviews.

  • Printing before testing

    Instead: Scan every QR code and open every link on a phone first.

Once reviews come in, reply to each one. The review reply generator drafts a reply in your voice, and the Google review response examples give you 40 templates.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a link to my Google reviews?

In your Business Profile, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link. That link opens the review box. To show people your existing reviews, link to your business on Google Maps.

Does a Google review link expire?

Google does not say that it expires. Test it every few months and after any change to your profile.

Can I make a Google review link without owning the profile?

Yes. The free review link generator finds it from the business name. Only the owner or a manager can reply to reviews.

Why does my review link open the wrong business?

You probably copied the link for another location or a duplicate listing. Make the link from the exact profile and see duplicate listings.

How do I make a Google review QR code?

Download it from the Get more reviews screen on a computer, or use the Google review QR code generator.
