How to make a Google review QR code (and where to put it)
People leave reviews when it's effortless and they're still pleased. A QR code on the receipt, the table or the thank-you card removes every step except the one that matters.
Step 1: find your Google review link
Open Google Business Profile, choose your business, then Ask for reviews. Copy the short link; it looks like g.page/r/.../review. If you only know your Place ID, the generator accepts that too and builds the link for you.
Step 2: make the code
Choose the Google review type, paste the link, add your logo and colours, and pick a frame with a caption such as 'Rate us on Google'. Every change is test-scanned, so you can't export a code that doesn't work.
Step 3: decide static or dynamic
A static code is free and works forever. A dynamic code counts scans by day and location, and you can repoint it later (to Trustpilot during a campaign, say) without reprinting. If you print more than a few hundred, make it dynamic.
Where it works best
- Receipts and invoices: the customer has just paid and the service is fresh.
- Table tents and bill folders in restaurants and cafés.
- Thank-you cards inside parcels for online shops.
- Reception desks and checkout counters with a short caption.
- Vehicle doors for trades and delivery services.
Ask well
A caption that says what will happen gets more scans than a bare code: 'Leave us a 20-second review' beats 'Scan me'. Don't offer rewards for reviews; Google removes them and may suspend the profile. Do answer every review, good or bad.
- Copy your review link from Google Business Profile. Business Profile → Ask for reviews.
- Make the code with the Google review type. Add logo, colours and a frame that says what happens.
- Print it where the moment is right. Receipts, tables, parcels, counters.
- Watch the scans. A dynamic code shows which spot brings reviews.
