Google Review Link Generator

What is a Google review link?

A Google review link is a web address that opens the review form for one business on Google. Your customer taps it, picks the stars and writes a few words. They don't have to search for you, find your profile or scroll down to the reviews.

There are two kinds of review link, and both open the same form. A third link people often send by mistake opens the profile instead:

Link	What it looks like	Who can get it	Good to know
Short link from Google	https://g.page/r/C…/review	The profile owner or a manager, in Business Profile	Short, so it fits well in a text message
Place ID link	https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ…	Anyone, with this generator or the business's Place ID	Works without access to the profile; great for agencies and multi-location teams
Maps share link	https://maps.app.goo.gl/…	Anyone, from the Share button in Google Maps	Opens your profile, not the review form. Customers must find “Write a review” themselves

Use the short link if you can get it. Use the Place ID link when you can't sign in to the profile, or when you need links for many locations at once.

How to get your Google review link from Google Business Profile

If you own or manage the profile, Google gives you a short link and a QR code. On a computer:

1. Sign in to the Google account that manages your business.
2. Search your business name on Google. Your profile's management panel shows up at the top.
3. Click Read reviews, then Get more reviews. Some panels show an Ask for reviews button instead; it opens the same box.
4. Click Copy to copy your short link. To keep the QR code, right-click it and choose Save image as.

You can share the link from your phone too, but Google only offers the QR code in a computer browser (Google's help page). No access to the profile? Use the generator above. You don't need to sign in.

How to find your Google Place ID

The Place ID is the code Google uses for one business on its map. Most business Place IDs start with ChIJ. Three ways to get it:

• Search above. Type the business name, pick it, and the Place ID shows under your link.
• Google's Place ID Finder. Open the Place ID Finder, type the business name into the map's search box and copy the ID.
• From a link you already have. In a review link, the Place ID is everything after placeid=.

A Google Maps share link (maps.app.goo.gl/…) doesn't show the Place ID. Type the business name instead. Working from the business's page in Google Maps? Our free Google review link Chrome extension reads the Place ID from that page and gives you the link and a QR code in one click.

How to share your Google review link

Ask soon after the visit or the job, while it's fresh. Put the link wherever customers already look:

• Text message. One short, personal line and the link. The generator above fills one in for you.
• Email. Add it to your thank-you or receipt email and to your email signature.
• Receipts and invoices. Print the QR code at the bottom. On a PDF invoice, add the clickable link too: a customer reading it on their phone can't scan a code on the same screen.
• QR code at the counter. A small card by the register or on each table, for customers who are still there.
• Your website and social profiles. A “Review us on Google” button on your contact or thank-you page, or the link in your bio.

Want to show your reviews on your website as well? The free Google reviews widget does that for one location. For ready-made wording, see our review request templates.

What Google allows when you ask

Asking every customer for an honest review is fine. Google's review policy forbids rewards for reviews (discounts, free items, prize draws) and asking only the customers you think are happy. Send the same link to everyone. The full playbook is in how to get more Google reviews.

How big to print your Google review QR code

A rough rule: a phone reads a QR code from about ten times its width. Pick the size by where people will stand:

Where it goes	Print width	Scans from about
Receipt or business card	2.5 cm (1 in)	25 cm (10 in)
Counter card or table tent	5 cm (2 in)	50 cm (20 in)
Poster or flyer	10 cm (4 in)	1 m (3 ft)
Window, sign or van	30 cm (12 in)	3 m (10 ft)

• Keep the white border. The blank margin around the code (the quiet zone) helps phones find it. The downloads above include it.
• Dark code, light background. Black on white scans best. Avoid putting the code on a photo.
• Add one line of text. “Scan to review us on Google” tells people what the code is for.
• Print one copy first. Scan it from where a customer will stand before you print a batch.

For a poster, a folding table tent, a sticker sheet or wallet-size review cards with your own text and colors, use the free Google review QR code generator.

Google review link not working? Common problems

• It opens the wrong business. Similar names, other locations or an old duplicate profile. Search with your street or city, check the address before you copy, and make one link per location.
• You see your profile but no review box. You're signed in as the owner. Google doesn't show the form to the account that manages the business. Test in a private window with another account.
• It asks the customer to sign in. Google needs a Google account to post a review. After signing in, the form opens.
• The link got cut off. Some email and text apps break long links. Copy it again in full, or use the short link or the QR code.
• The profile isn't verified, or it's suspended. The form won't open for anyone until that's fixed.
• The Place ID changed. Google can give a business a new ID after a move, a closure or a map update. Make a new link here and reprint.
