QR code for Google Reviews: how to collect reviews more easily

14 September 2026 · 5 min read read

A QR code for Google Reviews sends the customer straight to your business review page: they scan the code, Google Maps opens with the review form ready, and they leave a review in seconds. More reviews mean more local visibility — and all you need to do is put a code where people can see it.

Why Google Reviews matter

Reviews directly influence your business ranking in Google Maps and local searches. The more recent, high-rated reviews you have, the more visible you are when someone searches for your service in the area. The problem is that most satisfied customers forget to leave a review — a QR code reduces the friction to zero.

How to get your Google review link

  1. Search for your business on Google Maps.
  2. On your business page, tap "Write a review" (or copy the link from Google Business Profile → "Ask for reviews").
  3. The link usually looks like: https://g.page/r/... or https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=...
  4. Copy this link — it is the one you put into the QR code generator.

How to create the QR code

  1. Open the QR code generator on getQR.
  2. Select the Link / URL type.
  3. Paste the Google review link.
  4. Customise the colours — you can match your brand.
  5. Download the code as PNG or SVG.

Tip: Use a dynamic QR code if you want to see how many people scanned the code and from which devices. That way you measure the code's impact and can change the link if needed, without reprinting.

Where to put the code

  • At the counter or exit — on a sticker or small stand, with the text "Leave us a review";
  • On the receipt or bill — the customer scans right after paying;
  • On the table in a restaurant — alongside the menu QR code;
  • On a business card — especially for service providers (dentist, mechanic, photographer);
  • On product packaging — with the text "Tell us what you think";
  • In the thank-you email — post-order or post-visit.

Best practices

Always add a short text next to the code explaining what happens on scan: "Scan to leave a Google review". Do not ask for reviews in exchange for a discount — Google may penalise incentivised reviews. The best moment is right after a positive experience: the customer is happy and the friction is minimal.
