Turn happy customers into 5-star reviews with a free Google review QR code.

The hardest part of getting Google reviews is the friction. A customer has to unlock their phone, open Maps, search your business name, scroll to the review box, and tap the stars. Most never bother. A Google review QR code removes every one of those steps: one scan opens your review form instantly, with the stars ready to fill in. Print it on a table tent, a receipt, or your packaging, and watch your review count climb. Create your Google review QR code in under a minute.

What is a Google review QR code?

A Google review QR code is a scannable code that encodes the direct link to your business's Google review form. Instead of asking a customer to search for you, the code takes them straight to the screen where they choose a star rating and type their feedback. Because it shortcuts the entire discovery process, businesses that switch from a verbal "please leave us a review" to a printed code consistently collect far more reviews from the same number of customers.

Reviews are not just social proof. Google's local ranking algorithm weighs both the quantity and the recency of your reviews when it decides which businesses to show in the local map pack. A steady stream of fresh reviews helps you rank higher when nearby customers search for what you offer, which means more visibility, more calls, and more foot traffic over time.

How to create a Google review QR code in three steps

  1. Get your Google review link. Use one of the two methods in the next section to copy the link that opens your review form.
  2. Paste it into SCANilla. Open the URL generator, paste your review link, and the QR code appears instantly. Tap a design thumbnail to match your brand colours, or add your logo to the centre.
  3. Download and display. Download a high-resolution PNG or a vector SVG for printing, then place the code wherever customers finish their experience. No account is needed for a static code.

Where to find your Google review link

There are two reliable ways to get the link that sends customers to your review box.

Method 1 — from your Google Business Profile. Sign in to your Google Business Profile, open your business, and look for the Ask for reviews or Get more reviews button. Google generates a short review link you can copy with one click. This is the easiest method for most owners.

Method 2 — using your Place ID. If you prefer a permanent link, find your Place ID with Google's official Place ID Finder, then build the link in this format: https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID. Paste that finished link into the generator. The Place ID never changes, so this link keeps working even if you rename or rebrand your business.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Google review QR code generator free?
Yes. You can create a Google review QR code on SCANilla for free, with no watermark and no sign-up required for a static code. Paste your Google review link, customise the design, and download a high-resolution PNG or SVG ready to print on table tents, receipts, or packaging.
How do I find my Google review link?
Open your Google Business Profile, select Ask for reviews, and copy the short review link Google provides. Alternatively, find your Place ID using Google's Place ID Finder and build the link as https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID. Either link sends customers straight to the review box.
Does scanning the QR code open the review form directly?
Yes. When the QR code encodes your Google review link, scanning it opens the Google review form for your business with the star rating ready to fill in. This removes friction and is the single biggest reason businesses see more reviews after switching from a written request to a scannable code.
Where should I display my Google review QR code?
The best spots are where a customer has just had a good experience: on the table after a meal, printed on the receipt, on product packaging, at the checkout counter, on a thank-you card, or in a follow-up email. Place it where the moment of satisfaction is highest for the most reviews.
Can I track how many people scan my review code?
Yes, if you create it as a dynamic QR code instead of a static one. A dynamic code redirects through SCANilla, so you can see total scans, scans by day, device, and location in your dashboard. You can also change the destination later without reprinting the code.
Is it against Google policy to ask for reviews with a QR code?
Asking customers to leave an honest review is allowed and encouraged by Google. What is not allowed is gating, where you only ask happy customers or offer incentives for positive reviews. A QR code that simply makes it easier for any customer to leave honest feedback is fully within Google's guidelines.
Will the QR code still work if my business name changes?
If you used a static code with your Place ID, the code keeps working because the Place ID stays the same even if your business name changes. If your link ever changes, use a dynamic QR code so you can update the destination once in your dashboard without reprinting anything.
What size should I print the review QR code?
For a table tent or counter card scanned from close range, two to three centimetres square is enough. Download the SVG for crisp printing at any size, and always leave a small quiet zone of empty space around the code so cameras can lock onto it cleanly.
