What is a Google review link?
A Google review link is a web address that opens the review form for your business on Google, with the stars ready to tap. Your customer doesn’t have to search for you, find your listing and hunt for the button. They tap, rate and write.
Every verified Google Business Profile has one. The link Google gives you looks like this, with your own code in the middle:
https://g.page/r/your-code/review
A link built from your Place ID does the same job, with your ID at the end:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=your-place-id
Put that link in a QR code and a customer at your counter can open your review form with their phone camera. Text it after the job and they can leave the review from their driveway.
How to find your Google review link
You need a verified Google Business Profile and the Google account that manages it. Google renames its buttons now and then, so the labels on your screen may differ a little.
On a computer
- 1Sign in to the Google account that manages your business.
- 2Search Google for your business name. Your Business Profile shows up with your owner tools.
- 3Select Read reviews, then Get more reviews. On some profiles the button says Ask for reviews.
- 4Select Copy to copy your review link, then paste it into the tool above.
On your phone
- 1Open the Google Maps app or the Google app, signed in to the account that manages your business.
- 2Open your Business Profile. In the Google app, searching your business name brings it up.
- 3Find Get more reviews or Ask for reviews. In Maps it can sit under Reviews.
- 4Copy the link, or tap Share and then Copy, and paste it into the tool above.
No access to the profile? Use your Place ID
Your Place ID is Google’s ID for your business location. Open Google’s Place ID Finder, type your business name, pick it from the list and copy the ID that starts with ChIJ. Paste it into the tool and it builds the review link for you.
A Google Maps link to your business works too, if the Place ID is in it. Links from the Maps Share button (maps.app.goo.gl) don’t carry it, so use one of the routes above instead.
Check it before you print
Open the link on your phone. It should show your business name and empty stars ready to tap. If it opens a different business, a map or an error, start again from your Business Profile. Customers need to be signed in to a Google account to post, so the form may ask them to sign in first.
How to ask for Google reviews without breaking the rules
Asking every customer for an honest review is fine. Google and the FTC draw the line at fake, bought and steered reviews.
Do
- Ask every customer at the end of the job, while it’s fresh.
- Hand over the card, or text the link the same day.
- Ask for an honest review, in your own words.
- Reply to every review, good or bad.
Don’t
- Pay, discount or give a gift in exchange for a review.
- Ask only the customers you expect to be happy, or discourage bad reviews.
- Pressure anyone to write it on the spot, or tell them what to say.
- Review yourself, or have staff, friends or family review you.
- Buy reviews, or trade them with other businesses.
The full rules: Google’s policy on fake engagement and the FTC’s questions and answers on its consumer reviews rule. This page is general information, not legal advice.
Want the review requests drafted for you after every job?
That’s one of the things the TechBridge agent does: it drafts the request, you approve it. Mark a job won and the draft waits in your review queue for one tap.
It comes with the TechBridge Platform for the website you already have (from $249/mo) and with every Agentic Website we build (from $750 + $250/mo).
Google review links and QR codes: the common questions
How do I get my Google review link?
Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile and search Google for your business name. In your profile, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link. On some profiles the button says Ask for reviews. That link opens your review form directly. No access to the profile? Look up your Place ID with Google’s Place ID Finder and paste it into the tool on this page. It builds the review link for you.
Can I make a QR code for Google reviews?
Yes. Paste your review link, a Google Maps link that includes your Place ID, or the Place ID itself into the tool at the top of this page. You get a QR code as a PNG for screens and receipts or an SVG for print shops and signs, plus a 5 x 7 inch counter card to print. It’s free, there’s no sign-up, and it works on a phone. Google can also show a review QR code in your Business Profile, but only in a computer browser.
Is it legal to buy Google reviews?
No. Buying reviews breaks Google’s rules: its policy bans paying for reviews or offering anything in return, including discounts and freebies. Google removes those reviews and can restrict the profile, for example by blocking new reviews for a while or showing a warning that fake reviews were removed. In the US it can also break the law. The FTC’s rule on consumer reviews, in effect since October 21, 2024, bans buying fake reviews and offering anything for reviews that have to be positive, and courts can impose civil penalties for knowing violations. The compliant way is simple: ask every customer for an honest review after the job, make it one tap with your link or QR code, and offer nothing in return.
How can I get more 5-star Google reviews?
Do good work, then ask every customer for a review at the end of the job, while it’s fresh. Make it one tap: hand them the card with the QR code, or text the link the same day. Ask for an honest review, not for five stars. Google’s policy doesn’t allow steering the rating, asking only the customers you expect to be happy, or pressuring anyone to write it on the spot. Reply to every review, good or bad. Asking every customer, every time, does more than any trick.
How do I get Google reviews quickly?
Start with customers you’ve already served. Text your review link to everyone you finished a job for in the last couple of weeks, using the message on this page, and put the printed card where customers pay. Then make the ask part of how every job ends. Skip review exchanges and paid review services: Google removes those reviews and can restrict your profile.
Do Google review QR codes expire?
Not the ones made here. The code holds your review link itself, with no redirect through our servers, so there’s nothing to expire or pay for later. It works as long as the link does. The link from your Business Profile is the sturdiest choice. Google says a Place ID can go out of date if a business moves or closes, so if you built your code from a Place ID, test it now and then.
What’s the difference between my Google Maps link and my review link?
A Maps link opens your listing. From there the customer has to find the reviews and then the button to write one. The review link skips those steps and opens the review form with the stars ready to tap. Use the review link for QR codes, texts and emails. Either way, the customer needs to be signed in to a Google account to post.
Does this tool keep my link or business name?
No. The tool runs in your browser. Your link and business name are not sent to TechBridge, and the QR code is drawn on your own device. We only count that the tool was used, for example that a PNG was downloaded, never what you typed.
