Find the business
How the generator works
- Finding the business. When you search, our server asks the Google Places API for up to five businesses that match, and passes back only their names, addresses and Place IDs. If you paste a Place ID instead, nothing is sent anywhere.
- Building the link. Your browser adds the Place ID to Google's own review address (search.google.com/local/writereview). Anyone who opens it lands on the review box for that business, ready to pick a star rating and write.
- Drawing the QR code. The page also works as a Google review QR code generator: the code is drawn on your device, in black on white with a clear border so phone cameras read it easily. Downloads and the print card never leave your browser.
Where to put your review link
The best time to ask is just after a job is finished or a visit ends. Add the link to invoices, receipts, follow-up emails and your email signature; put the QR code on a counter card, table stand or the back of a business card. A short, polite request works better than a long one.

Questions
How do I create a Google review link?
Search for your business above and choose it from the list. The generator takes its Place ID, the identifier Google uses for every business on Maps, and builds the direct link to its review box. Copy the link and send it to customers by email, text or WhatsApp.
How do I make a Google review QR code?
Once you have your link, the QR code appears next to it. Download it as a PNG for screens and emails or as an SVG for printing, or use Print card for a ready-made A4 sign. The code holds the review link itself, so scanning it opens the review box straight away.
What is a Place ID and where do I find it?
A Place ID is the code Google gives each place on its maps, usually a string starting with ChIJ. If the search here does not find your business, open Google’s free Place ID Finder, look up the business on the map and copy the ID it shows, then paste it into the Place ID box.
Does Google already give me a review link?
If you manage the business’s Google Business Profile, Google offers its own short link for asking for reviews from inside the profile, and that works just as well. This generator is handy when you want the full link, a print-ready QR code, or you are setting things up for a business whose profile you do not manage yourself.
Will the link or QR code stop working?
There is no expiry built in: the QR code simply contains the link. The link depends on the Place ID, and Google notes that Place IDs can occasionally change, such as when a listing is merged or moved. Scan your printed code now and then to check it still opens the right business.
Can I offer a discount or prize in return for a review?
No. Google’s rules for reviews do not allow offering money, discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, and they also rule out asking only the customers you expect to be happy. Ask everyone in the same way, and reply to the reviews you get, good or bad.
Do you keep what I search for?
No. Your search is passed to Google’s Places service to find matching businesses, and only the names, addresses and Place IDs come back. We do not save the search, and the link, QR code and downloads are all made in your browser.
