Free Google review link generator and QR code

Sign in to the Google account that manages the listing, find your business on Google, click Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the short link it shows (it looks like g.page/r/.../review). This needs owner or manager access. You can paste that link into the tool above to get a QR code and a printable card for it.

Open your business on Google Maps, tap Share, and copy the link. Paste it into the tool above and we turn it into a one-tap review link. No owner access needed, so this also works when someone else manages the profile.

Paste a Place ID (it starts with ChIJ) and we build https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID for you. Use this if the other two are not available; the Place ID section further down shows how to look it up.

Add the link as a clear button in your thank-you and follow-up emails. Ask right after a win, while the good feeling is fresh.

Text the link the same day you deliver. A short message with one tappable link converts better than any long request.

Print the QR on receipts, business cards, packaging, and table tents. Customers scan with their camera and land on the review screen.

Put the link on a Thanks page, in your email signature, or behind a Leave a review button so it is always one click away.

Is this Google review link generator free?

Yes, completely free. There is no login, no account, no credit card, and no API key. Paste your Google Maps link or Place ID, generate the link, copy it, and download the QR code as many times as you like.

Is this a Google review generator?

It generates the link, not the review. Customers tap it and land straight in your Google review box, so real customers can leave a review in seconds.

Do I need to sign up or log in?

No. The tool runs in your browser and there is nothing to sign up for. The only thing that ever reaches our server is a Google short link (maps.app.goo.gl, goo.gl/maps, g.page or g.co/kgs), which we open once to read the full Maps address behind it. We do not store it. Generate your link and go.

What is a Google review link?

It is a direct link that opens the review box for your business, so a customer can leave a rating and a comment in one tap. Instead of asking people to search for you on Google Maps and hunt for the review button, you send one link that drops them straight into the write-a-review screen.

What is a Place ID?

A Place ID is Google's unique identifier for a specific business or location, usually starting with the letters ChIJ. Google uses it to point precisely at your listing. It is the most reliable input for building a clean review link, and you can look yours up for free with Google's Place ID Finder.

How do I find my Place ID or Maps link?

The quickest way: open your business on Google Maps, tap Share, and copy that link. If that ever fails, open Google's Place ID Finder, search for your business name, and copy the ID it shows. Either one works: paste it into the tool and it extracts what it needs.

What review link format does this use?

For a ChIJ Place ID we build https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID, the widely used write-a-review deep link. If your Maps link only exposes a business ID (a CID), we build a working link from that instead. The tool always shows you the exact URL it generated.

Can I make a QR code for my Google reviews?

Yes. Once your link is generated, the tool renders a QR code you can download as a PNG or an SVG, plus four ready-to-print signs: a table tent, an A4 poster, a round sticker and a business card. Customers scan it with their phone camera and land on your review form.

What is the difference between the PNG and SVG QR downloads?

The PNG is a ready-to-use image, great for slides, emails, and quick prints. The SVG is a vector file that stays razor sharp at any size, so it is the better choice for large-format printing, signage, and professional design work. Most tools only give you a PNG. This one gives you both.

Do I need a Google Business Profile to collect reviews?

To collect reviews on Google, yes: reviews live on your Google Business Profile listing, so the listing has to exist and be verified. This tool does not create the listing for you. If you do not have a profile yet, set one up first, then come back and generate your link. If you want to collect testimonials on your own site without a Google profile, testimonials.ltd handles that.

Can I get a Google review link without logging in to Google Business Profile?

Yes. The link only needs your listing's Place ID, which is public. You do not need owner access or a login: find the business on Google Maps, share it, and paste the link here. The listing itself must exist on Google, because the review attaches to it. If you have no Google listing at all, collect testimonials on your own site instead.

Is this a GMB review link generator?

Yes. Google My Business was renamed Google Business Profile in 2021. The review link works the same for any GMB or Business Profile listing.

Can I make a link that opens with 5 stars selected?

No. Google does not support pre-filled star ratings, and asking only happy customers (review gating) breaks Google's review policy. Send the same link to every customer.

Does it work with a maps.app.goo.gl share link?

Yes. Paste the short link from the Share button and we read the business ID from it. If you already have a g.page/r/.../review link from your Business Profile, paste that and we keep it as it is and make the QR code from it.

Is a QR code better than a link?

They are for different moments. A link is best for email, SMS, chat, and your website, anywhere someone is already on a screen. A QR code is best in the physical world: on a receipt, a card, a table tent, or packaging, where the customer has your product in hand and a phone in their pocket. Use both.

How do I create a QR code for Google reviews?

Paste your Google Maps share link or Place ID into the tool above and click Generate review link. The QR code appears under your link. Download it as a PNG or SVG, or pick a sign (table tent, poster, sticker or business card), add your business name, and download or print it. Google also offers a QR code inside Business Profile, but only from a computer browser and only to verified owners or managers.

Does a Google review QR code expire?

No. The QR code stores your review link directly, with no redirect in between, so it keeps working for as long as your Google listing exists. It only stops working if the listing is removed or replaced by a new one, for example after a move that creates a new profile. In that case, generate a new link and print a new code.

What size should a Google review QR code be?

At least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide on a business card or receipt. As a rule of thumb, make the code about one tenth of the distance people scan from: a counter card read from 50 cm needs about 5 cm, a window poster read from 2 m needs about 20 cm. Keep a white border around it and print dark on light.

Can customers leave a Google review without a Google account?

No. Google only accepts reviews from people signed in to a Google account, so the link asks customers to sign in if they are not already. Most phone users are signed in through Gmail, YouTube or Android, so for them it is one tap.

Can I give a discount in exchange for a Google review?

No. Google's review policy prohibits offering incentives such as discounts or free items in exchange for a review, and reviews written for a reward can be removed. Ask every customer the same way, with no reward attached.

Why show the actual review URL?

So you can trust it, save it, and reuse it anywhere without being tied to this tool. Many generators hide the URL and hand you a shortened redirect you do not control. We show the real Google link so it is yours to keep.

Will this work for any country or language?

Yes. The write-a-review link is the same structure worldwide, and Google shows the review screen in the customer's own language automatically. Your Place ID is all that changes.
