How do I create a QR code for my Google reviews?

Find your Google review link in your Google Business Profile (search for your business on Google, select 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews,' and copy the link). Paste the link into a QR code generator like QRKIT, customize the design with your brand colors and logo, then create a free account to download the file. See the full step-by-step walkthrough in the guide above.

Is a Google Review QR code free to create?

Yes. Google's built-in QR code in Business Profile is free. QRKIT's free plan lets you create a dynamic Google Review QR code with your logo, brand colors, and basic scan tracking (1 dynamic code, 100 total scans/month), and downloading it takes a free account. Full analytics (device and location breakdowns, charts, CSV export), unlimited scans, and saving more codes are on paid plans from $6/month billed annually.

What is a Google Business Profile Place ID?

A Place ID is a unique identifier Google assigns to each business location (for example, "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4"). You can find yours using Google's Place ID Finder tool. You'll need it if you want to build a custom review URL using the format: search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID.

Can I add my logo to a Google Review QR code?

Not with Google's built-in QR code. Use a third-party QR code generator that supports logo embedding. QRKIT builds every code at error-correction level Q (about 25% of the pattern can be recovered) and drops your logo into the centre at a fixed size, so the code stays readable. Scan-test the result before you print it.

How do I find my Google review link?

Search for your business on Google, open 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews' in your Business Profile, and copy the shareable link. Alternatively, use Google's Place ID Finder to build the URL manually. See the detailed steps in the guide above.

Can I track how many people scan my Google Review QR code?

Yes, with a Dynamic QR Code. Every plan, including the free one, shows total and unique scans in your dashboard, plus your top location and top device. The full device, location and date-range breakdowns and CSV export are on paid plans from $6/month billed annually. Static QR codes cannot be tracked.

What's the difference between a static and dynamic Google Review QR code?

A static code embeds the URL directly, so it's permanent but untrackable and uneditable. A dynamic code uses a redirect URL you can update and track. Dynamic is recommended for printed materials since you can fix the destination without reprinting.

Where should I put my Google Review QR code for my business?

Top placements: counter displays, receipts, business cards, product packaging, email signatures, and post-service follow-up messages. Place it where customers are happiest, right after a positive experience. See the full list of 10+ placement ideas in the guide above.

Can I use NFC instead of a QR code for Google reviews?

You can use both. NFC tap-to-review stands work alongside QR codes, with NFC for newer phones and QR for universal compatibility. Combo NFC + QR stands are available from Amazon and Vistaprint.

Does getting more Google reviews help with SEO?

It can help. Google's local-ranking guidance says more reviews and positive ratings can improve your local ranking, counting them as part of prominence alongside relevance and distance. That affects your visibility in Google Maps and the local pack, the map results that appear above organic listings. Google makes no ranking promise about review recency or how often you reply, so treat replying as customer care rather than an SEO tactic.

How do I get a Google Review QR code if I don't manage my own Business Profile?

Ask whoever manages your Google Business Profile (marketing agency, franchise HQ, or team member) for your review link. They can find it via 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews' in the Business Profile dashboard and share it with you. Each franchise location has its own link, so you'll need a separate QR code per location.

Where do restaurants and cafes put a Google Review QR code?

The placements that work hardest are on the back of the bill or receipt, on the table tent next to the condiments, and on the to-go bag or coffee cup sleeve. Follow the size guide above — at least 2 cm on a bill or card, around 5 cm on a table tent — and add a frame that says ‘Loved your meal? Leave us a review.’ The point of payment tends to be the strongest moment, because customers have just had the experience and already have their phone out.

Can a service business (plumber, electrician, contractor) use a Google Review QR code?

Yes, and it’s arguably the easiest channel for trades and home services. Print the QR on the final invoice or leave-behind card, with copy like ‘If we did a great job, a quick review means the world.’ For mobile businesses, add the QR to the back of your van or to the magnetic business card you leave on the fridge. Give each van or crew its own dynamic QR code and you can compare scan counts to see which one puts the code in front of the most customers — more than one dynamic code needs a paid plan from $6/month billed annually.

How do I get more reviews from QR code scans?

Three things move the needle. First, place the QR at the moment of peak satisfaction (after the meal, after the haircut, after the install), not days later. Second, prime the customer out loud — a spoken ‘If you enjoyed it, scan this, it takes about 30 seconds’ asks far more directly than a silent sticker does. Third, give each placement or each version of the wording its own dynamic code, then compare scan counts and keep what performs. That means more than one dynamic code, which is a paid plan from $6/month billed annually.

Is it against Google’s policy to ask customers to scan a QR code for a review?

No. Google explicitly encourages asking your customers to leave a review, and every Business Profile has a ‘Get more reviews’ link you can turn into a QR code. What’s NOT allowed: offering incentives (discounts, free items, prizes) in exchange for reviews, filtering customers before asking (only asking those you expect to leave 5 stars), or asking employees and family to post. Stick to neutral, unfiltered asks at the point of service and you’re inside policy.

How do I download and print a Google review QR code?

Build and design the code without signing in, then create a free account to download it — a free account gets you the PNG, while SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. Pick SVG for print (it is the only true vector export, so it scales to any size without blur), PNG for screens and email, or PDF to hand to a print shop. To print, set the size from the placement guide, print at 300+ DPI on matte or laminated stock, and always scan-test the printed copy before mass printing.

What should my “Scan to leave a review” QR code sign say?

Pair the QR with a short, benefit-led line customers read in one glance, such as “Enjoyed your visit? Scan to leave us a Google review — it takes 30 seconds.” Put the call-to-action above the code, use wording your customers actually say (“review us” or “leave a review”), and always explain what scanning does. The wording is printed alongside the code, so testing a new line means printing a new sign — but give each version its own dynamic code and you can compare their scan counts. The scan count itself is free; the location and device breakdown is on paid plans from $6/mo.

How do I scan a QR code to leave a review, and do customers need a Google reviews scanner app?

Customers don't need a separate “Google reviews scanner” app. Every modern iPhone and Android opens QR codes straight from the built-in camera — they point, tap the link, and land on your Google review form. On your side, a QRKIT dynamic code counts each scan; the basic scan total is free up to 100 scans a month, and the location, device, and time breakdown is on paid plans from $6/mo.

How do I get a free Google review sticker or QR code?

Google shows a free review link and a plain QR code under “Get more reviews” in your Business Profile — there is no download button, so you right-click the code and save the image. QRKIT lets you create a free, branded Google review QR code instead, which you can print as a sticker or window decal. Paste your review link into the generator, add your logo and a “Scan to review us” frame, then create a free account to download the PNG and print it on adhesive stock. Designing the code and the PNG download are free; SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack, and full scan analytics are on paid plans from $6/mo.

Can I use a Canva template for my Google review QR code?

Yes. Generate the QR code here first and save it as a dynamic code (free account) so you can edit and track the link, then download it as a PNG — SVG comes with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack — and place it into any Canva poster, table-tent, or sticker template. Avoid re-creating the QR inside Canva itself — a code generated as a static image can't be updated if Google changes your review URL.

Do I need a separate QR code for each business location?

Yes. Every Google Business Profile location has its own review link, so a multi-location business needs one QR code per location. With dynamic codes you can manage all of them from one dashboard and compare scan counts per location. Creating and managing multiple dynamic codes is available on paid plans from $6/month billed annually.

What size should I print my Google review QR code?

Minimum 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) for business cards and review cards, 5 × 5 cm (2 in) for counter stands and table tents, and 10 cm+ (4 in) for posters. Rule of thumb: the code should be at least 1/10th of the expected scanning distance. Always scan-test a printed sample before running a full batch.

Can I create a QR code to send customers to leave reviews?

Yes. Paste your Google review link into the generator above and it produces a scannable code that takes customers straight to your review form — no searching. Add your logo and a “Review us” frame, download it with a free account, then print it on cards, receipts, or counter stands.

How do I leave a Google review for my business?

You cannot review your own business, but you can make it easy for customers to. Open your Google Business Profile, select 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews,' and share the review link or its QR code. When a customer scans it, they land on a blank review form for your business, ready to rate and write.

Will asking customers to scan at my counter get my reviews filtered by Google?

It can if every review comes from the same in-store Wi-Fi in a short burst — that pattern can look artificial to Google's spam filters. Let customers scan on their own mobile data or take a review card home, and space asks out naturally across the day. Never bulk-collect reviews on one device or network.

Can I make the same QR code for Yelp, Trustpilot, or Facebook reviews?

Technically yes — paste that platform's URL into the generator instead of your Google link. But the platforms' rules are not identical, and Yelp's are the exception that matters: Yelp's business support centre says "Don't ask anyone to review your business, be it customers, mailing list subscribers, friends, family, etc." and warns that asking may hurt your rating because its software may not recommend reviews that look prompted by the business. Point a Yelp code at your Yelp business page as a "Find us on Yelp" code instead. Trustpilot and Facebook work like Google. To reach several platforms from one printed code, send it to a link page listing all of them, or see our QR code for feedback guide.

How do I make a Yelp QR code?

Open your Yelp business page in a browser and copy its URL from the address bar — Yelp's own developer documentation shows a business page as https://www.yelp.com/biz/molinari-delicatessen-san-francisco, so yours is yelp.com/biz/ plus the slug Yelp assigned you. Don't spell that slug out by hand. Paste the URL into the generator as a URL code, add your logo and download SVG for print. Caption it "Find us on Yelp", not "review us": Yelp's support centre tells businesses not to ask anyone for reviews, and says prompted reviews may not be recommended by its software, which means they stop counting toward your star rating. Yelp's own list of things you may do instead includes a "Find us on Yelp" sticker you can request for your storefront or service vehicle and in-store signage pointing people to your Yelp page — a code that opens that page fits right in.

How do I get my Tripadvisor review link for a QR code?

Get it from Tripadvisor rather than from a template. Tripadvisor does not publish a documented review-link URL pattern, so search Tripadvisor for your property, open your own listing, use its write-a-review control, and copy whatever URL your browser lands on out of the address bar. That is the link you paste into the generator as a URL code. Test it in a private or incognito window first, because a URL captured while you are signed in can carry session parameters that mean nothing to a customer's phone. Make it a dynamic code: if Tripadvisor reshapes its links you repoint the code you already printed instead of reprinting your table cards and room signs.

Is a Yelp review QR code against Yelp's rules?

A code that asks for a review runs against Yelp's stated guidelines; a code that simply opens your Yelp page does not. Yelp's business support centre says "Don't ask anyone to review your business, be it customers, mailing list subscribers, friends, family, etc.", and warns that proactively asking "may hurt your Yelp rating because our automated software may not recommend reviews that seem to be prompted or encouraged by the business." Not-recommended reviews do not factor into your star rating, so the ask can cost you the very reviews it produced. A "Find us on Yelp" code pointing at your business page is the safe version, and it matches what Yelp itself suggests — signage and stickers that make your Yelp presence visible. One more thing if you brand the code: Yelp's Brand Center asks you not to use the standalone Yelp logo for your business, to use the "Find us on Yelp" logo instead, and not to imply Yelp sponsors or endorses you.

Overview

What Is a Google Review QR Code?

Quick answer: To get a Google reviews QR code, open your Google Business Profile, select “Read reviews” then “Get more reviews,” and copy your review link. Paste it into the generator above, add your logo, then download a PNG with a free account — no card, no watermark. SVG and PDF for print come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. Designing and previewing need no account at all. To edit the code later or track scans, save it as a dynamic code. Prefer a template? You can drop the downloaded SVG into a Canva template — but generate the QR itself here and save it as a dynamic code so the link stays editable.

A Google Review QR code is a scannable code that links directly to your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) review form. When a customer scans it with their phone camera, they land on a blank review page, ready to write, no searching required.

For local businesses, this removes the single biggest barrier to getting reviews: friction. Google's own local-ranking guidance says that more reviews and positive ratings can help your business's local ranking — it treats them as part of prominence, alongside relevance and distance. More reviews mean higher visibility in Google Maps and the local pack, which means more customers finding you. It's one of the most impactful QR codes for business you can create.

This guide covers three free methods to create your Google Review QR code: downloading directly from Google, building one with your Place ID, and using QRKIT's generator with full branding and tracking. Pick the method that fits your needs.

Reviews don't only live on Google, and the other platforms don't all play by Google's rules. If you came here for a Yelp or Tripadvisor QR code, read that section first — Yelp's own guidelines tell businesses not to ask for reviews at all, which changes what your code should point at and what you should print underneath it.

Step-by-step

How to Find Your Google Review Link

Before you can create a QR code, you need your Google review link. This is the most common sticking point. Here's exactly how to find it.

Search for Your Business on Google

Open google.com and type your exact business name. Your Google Business Profile should appear as a panel on the right side of the search results (desktop) or at the top (mobile). Make sure you're signed into the Google account that owns or manages the business profile. You won't see the review options otherwise.

Can't see your Business Profile? You may need to verify ownership first. Visit business.google.com to claim your listing. It's free.

Open “Get more reviews”

In your Business Profile, select “Read reviews” and then “Get more reviews.” Google shows a shareable review link and, on desktop, a QR code. Do this step on a computer: Google documents that review QR codes can only be generated in a desktop browser, not on mobile.

Copy the Review Link

Click “Copy link.” This is the URL you'll use to create your QR code. The link format looks like:

https://g.page/r/YOUR-BUSINESS-ID/review

Your review link is just a URL, so you can turn any URL into a QR code the same way.

Alternative method (Place ID)

Go to Google's Place ID Finder (developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id), search for your business, and copy the Place ID. Then build your review URL:

https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID

Don't have admin access?

If your Google Business Profile is managed by a marketing agency, franchise HQ, or a team member, ask them for the review link. They can find it using the steps above and share it with you. For multi-location franchises, each location has its own review link. Contact your regional manager or the person who verified each location's profile.

Beyond Google

Yelp and Tripadvisor QR Codes: What Each Platform Allows

The generator above works for any review platform, because a review link is only ever a URL. What changes from platform to platform is how you get that link — and, on Yelp, whether you should be asking for reviews at all. Read the block for your platform before you print anything.

Yelp QR Code

Read this first: Yelp does not want you asking for reviews. Yelp's business support centre says “Don't ask anyone to review your business, be it customers, mailing list subscribers, friends, family, etc.” and warns that proactively asking “may hurt your Yelp rating because our automated software may not recommend reviews that seem to be prompted or encouraged by the business.” That matters because of what “not recommend” costs you: Yelp's own blog says not-recommended reviews “can still be read on a separate page, but they do not factor into a business's Yelp star rating.” The ask can quietly cost you the very reviews it produced.

So build a “Find us on Yelp” code, not a “leave us a review” code. Point it at your Yelp business page rather than a review form, and caption it accordingly. Same QR code, same two minutes of work — and it does not put your rating at risk.

Your Yelp business page URL is the one to use. Yelp's own developer documentation shows a business page as https://www.yelp.com/biz/molinari-delicatessen-san-francisco, so the shape is:

https://www.yelp.com/biz/your-business-name-city

Don't try to spell that slug out from your business name — Yelp assigns it, and it disambiguates duplicates in ways you cannot guess. Open your Yelp page in a browser and copy the URL out of the address bar, then paste it into the generator above as a URL code.

What Yelp says you may do instead

Yelp publishes its own guidance on earning reviews without asking. It lists a “Find us on Yelp” sticker you can request from Yelp for your storefront or service vehicle, in-store signage letting people know they can find and engage with your business on Yelp, responding genuinely to the reviews you already have, and reusing existing reviews across your website, business cards and marketing. A QR code that opens your Yelp page sits inside that pattern. A QR code captioned “scan for a 5-star review” sits outside it. Yelp's request page says stickers go out once a month; anything else about eligibility, cost or shipping is Yelp's to set, so check that page rather than taking ours for it.

If you drop a logo in the middle of the code

Yelp's Brand Center asks you not to use the standalone Yelp logo in connection with your business, and to use the “Find us on Yelp” logo instead. It also asks you not to use Yelp branding in any way that creates confusion about Yelp's sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of your business. That applies to the centre of a QR code as much as to a poster, so either use the approved “Find us on Yelp” asset or use your own logo and put the wording in the frame caption.

Tripadvisor QR Code

Tripadvisor is the opposite case: the constraint isn't policy, it's that there is no review-link pattern we can responsibly hand you. Tripadvisor does not publish a documented URL template for review links, and its site refuses automated requests, so we will not print a fill-in-the-blanks format here and let you discover it was wrong after the posters came back from the printer. Get the real link from Tripadvisor itself:

1Search Tripadvisor for your hotel, restaurant or attraction and open your own listing.
2Use the write-a-review control on that listing, so the review form itself loads.
3Copy the URL your browser has landed on straight out of the address bar. That copied URL — whatever it looks like — is what you paste into the generator above as a URL code.

Test the copied link signed out before you print

A URL you captured while logged in to your own Tripadvisor account can carry session or tracking parameters that mean nothing to a stranger's phone. Paste it into a private or incognito window first and confirm a signed-out visitor reaches a usable review form. Then scan your finished code with a real phone and check the same thing again.

Because we can't point at a documented, stable URL pattern, make this one a dynamic code. If Tripadvisor reshapes its links, you repoint the code you already printed instead of reprinting every table card and room sign. That is the single strongest argument for dynamic on this whole page.

As with Google, you need access to your own listing to manage it. If an agency, head office or a franchise owner holds that access, ask them to walk the three steps above and send you the URL.

Trustpilot, Facebook and everything else

The mechanics never change: find the page you want customers to land on, copy its URL, and turn that URL into a QR code. What differs is each platform's rules about asking, so check the platform's own guidelines the way we did with Yelp above rather than assuming Google's norms carry over.

Wanting one printed code to reach several platforms is the usual next question, and one QR code can only hold one destination. Point it at a single page that lists all of them instead — either a link page with a button per platform, or the approach in our QR code for feedback guide. One code, one sticker, every platform behind it.

What you get from the generator above

Choose the URL type and paste your Yelp or Tripadvisor link. URL codes are dynamic, so they stay editable and report scan analytics.
Designing and previewing need no account. Downloading the file needs a free account — no card.
Download SVG for print — it comes with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. In this create flow SVG is the vector format, so it scales to a window decal without softening; the PDF here is a 1024-pixel image placed on an A4 page, and the free PNG tops out at 1024 pixels too.
Downloads carry no watermark on any plan, free included. The only free-plan branding is a small “Powered by QRKit” label on the scan page a dynamic code passes through, never on the image you print.

Check the free-plan scan cap against your foot traffic. Free covers one dynamic code, 30 days of scan history, and 100 scans a month across the whole account. Past 100 scans in a month a free dynamic code stops redirecting until the monthly reset — a decal in a hotel lobby or a busy dining room will clear that, so price in a paid plan before it does rather than after. Plans start at $6 a month billed annually.

Three ways

How to Get or Create a Google Review QR Code (3 Free Methods)

Method 1: Download from Google

Simplest

Open “Read reviews” then “Get more reviews” in your Google Business Profile and Google shows a QR code alongside the link. There is no download button: right-click the code and choose “Save image as…” to keep it. Google only generates this code in a desktop browser, so it won't appear on your phone.

Pros

Free, fast, no third-party tool needed.

Cons

No branding (plain black-and-white), no scan tracking, can't add a logo or colors, can't edit later.

Method 2: Review Link + Generator

Most Control

Use the review URL you copied in the previous section. Paste it into any QR code generator like the one above, choose “Dynamic QR Code” for tracking and editability, customize with brand colors, your logo, and a CTA frame like “Scan to Review Us!” Download a PNG free; SVG for print comes with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack.

Pros

Full branding, scan tracking, editable destination, print-ready.

Cons

Requires finding your review link first.

Method 3: Direct with QRKIT

Fastest

Paste your Google review link directly into the generator above. QRKIT handles the QR code generation with all customization options, including logo, colors, frames, and dynamic tracking. One step, full control.

Pros

Fastest workflow, full branding and analytics included.

Cons

Requires a free QRKIT account to download the file, save it, or track scans.

Pro tip: Always use a Dynamic QR Code. If Google ever changes their review URL format, you can update the destination in seconds without reprinting. And you get scan analytics to know which placements work best (basic scan counts are free; device and location breakdowns are on paid plans from $6/mo).

Native vs branded

Google's Built-In Review QR Code vs. a QRKIT QR Code

Google's own Business Profile gives you a free, plain QR code. Here's how it compares to a branded, trackable one you make here.

Feature	Google's built-in QR	QRKIT
Cost	Free	Free to create; download the PNG with a free account
Logo & brand colors	No, plain black & white	Yes
Custom “Review us” frame	No	Yes
Editable after you print	No, locked forever	Yes, with a dynamic code
Scan tracking	No	Basic scan count free; device & location analytics from $6/mo*
Download formats	Basic image	PNG free; SVG (vector) & PDF on paid plans or a one-time pack
Multiple locations	One code per profile	Manage many dynamic codes from one dashboard (paid plans, from $6/mo); bulk-generate on Plus
Account needed	Google account	None to design and preview; a free account to download the file

*$6/mo = Starter billed annually. Bulk generation is on the Plus plan and up, from $16/mo billed annually.

Branding

Customize Your Google Review QR Code: Logo, Colors & Design

Branded QR codes get significantly more scans than generic black-and-white codes. Here are the key branding elements to consider:

Colors: Match your brand palette. Maintain strong contrast, with a dark pattern on a light background. Avoid low-contrast combinations.
Logo: Add your business logo in the center. QRKIT generates every code at error-correction level Q, so keep the logo small and scan-test the result before printing. See the full guide to building a QR code with a logo.
Frame: Add a CTA frame such as “Scan to Review Us!”, “Leave Us a Review”, or “Tell Us About Your Experience.”
Shape: Custom dot patterns (rounded, dots, diamonds) vs traditional squares. Choose what matches your brand style.

The generator above opens on the Templates tab with a ready-made review design — a “★ REVIEW US ★” frame. Pick it, drop in your logo, and download. You can also edit the frame text to anything you like, such as “Scan to review us” or “Loved your visit?”

How to Download and Print Your Google Review QR Code

How to Print a QR Code for a Google Review (Step by Step)

Downloading your Google review QR code as a PNG is free on an account that never asks for a card; SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. Sign in to save a dynamic code you can reprint later. Pick the format that matches where the code goes:

SVG — vector, scales to any size without blur. Best for print shops and large signage.
PNG — for screens, email signatures, and social posts.
PDF — a ready-to-print A4 handout with the code centered. It embeds a raster image, not vector paths, so send a print shop the SVG.

Download the SVG from the generator above — it is the format a print shop can scale to any size (designing needs no account; SVG and PDF downloads come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack).
Set the size using the placement guide above.
Print at 300+ DPI — at least 2 cm wide for cards and 5 cm for counter stands — on matte or laminated stock. For more, see our guide to printing QR codes.
Scan-test the printed copy before you run a full batch.

Display materials

Review Us QR Code: Stands, Stickers & Cards

Once your QR code is downloaded, you need something to put it on. These are the three display materials small businesses use most — all work with a free static code, and a dynamic code lets you compare which one gets scanned.

Stands

Acrylic counter stands and NFC + QR combo stands, from Amazon and Vistaprint. Print your QR at 5 × 5 cm or larger.

Stickers & decals

Weather-resistant vinyl for windows, doors, and counters. See the placement ideas below for outdoor sizing.

Review cards

A “Review Us” card is a wallet-size card with your Google review QR and a short “Review us on Google” line — handed over at checkout or left with the invoice. Keep the code at 2 × 2 cm minimum.

Placement ideas

Where to Put a QR Code to Leave a Google Review (10+ Ideas)

Best practices

Best Practices to Get More Google Reviews with QR Codes

Timing Is Everything

Ask when the customer is happiest, right after a positive interaction. For restaurants: with the check. For services: upon completion. For retail: at checkout.

Direct to the Review Form

Ensure the QR code links to the writereview URL (the blank form), not the general business listing. Test by scanning before printing.

Respond to Every Review

Google says helpful, positive replies show customers you're responsive — it makes no ranking promise, so treat this as customer care, not SEO. Respond to positive and negative reviews within 24–48 hours. Thank reviewers and address issues constructively.

Don't Incentivize Reviews

Google's policies prohibit offering discounts, freebies, or rewards in exchange for reviews. Focus on making the process easy, not transactional. Violations can result in review removal.

Track and Iterate

Use Dynamic QR Code scan analytics to measure which placements drive the most scans. Double down on what works. Remove or reposition codes that don't get scans. Pair with NFC stands (Amazon, Vistaprint) for maximum reach.

Add Context Near Your QR Code

A QR code alone is meaningless, so always add a sign or label explaining what scanning does. Lines like “Enjoyed your visit? Scan to leave us a Google review” or “Review us on Google” convert far better than a bare code.

Train Your Staff

Give your team a simple script: “If you enjoyed your experience, we'd love a Google review! Just scan this code, it takes 30 seconds.” Staff who mention the QR code at the right moment drive significantly more reviews.

Compare

Static vs Dynamic Google Review QR Code

Which do you need? It depends on whether you want to track scans and update the destination after printing.

Static Google Review QR Code

Free

Encodes the Google review link directly in the QR pattern. Works forever, unlimited scans, no internet connection required. However, if Google changes the review URL format, you'll need to generate and print a new QR code. Create a static code by switching the generator above to Static QR before you download — or start from the free QR code generator.

Best for

Single location, no tracking needed, budget-conscious.

Dynamic Google Review QR Code

Recommended

Uses a short redirect URL you control from your QRKIT dashboard. You can edit your QR code destination anytime, track scans (when, where, what device), and deactivate the code if needed, all without reprinting.

Best for

Businesses that print materials, multi-location setups, anyone who wants analytics.

Our recommendation: Use a Dynamic QR Code for any business that plans to print their Google Review QR code on physical materials. The ability to update the destination without reprinting pays for itself the first time Google changes a URL format.

Multi-location

Google Review QR Codes for Multiple Locations

Each Google Business Profile location has its own review link, so a franchise or chain needs one QR code per location. Give each location a dynamic code and you can compare which branch collects the most reviews.

Manage every location's code from one dashboard and see per-location scan counts on paid plans from $6/month billed annually — Starter includes 12 dynamic codes and Plus includes 200. See QR codes for business for team and multi-location use.

For a large rollout, generate every location's code at once from a spreadsheet with the bulk generator — on the Plus plan and up, from $16/month billed annually.

Watch out

5 Mistakes That Kill Your Google Review QR Code

Linking to the Wrong Page

Ensure the URL goes to the writereview form, not the general business listing page. Test by scanning before printing. The right URL contains “writereview” or “review” in it.

Using a Static QR Code for Printed Materials

If Google changes the review URL format (it has happened before), every printed static code becomes useless. Dynamic codes let you fix this in seconds without reprinting anything.

Making It Too Small

A QR code on a business card under 2 cm wide won't scan reliably. Follow the size guide above. When in doubt, go bigger.

No Call-to-Action

A bare QR code with no context gets ignored. Always add a frame or nearby text explaining what it does: “Scan to Review Us on Google.”

Not Tracking Scans

Without analytics, you're guessing which placements work. A Dynamic QR Code tells you exactly how many people scan each placement, so you can optimize.

QR code not scanning? Troubleshooting guide

Google Reviews QR Code — Frequently Asked Questions

: Find your Google review link in your Google Business Profile (search for your business on Google, select 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews,' and copy the link). Paste the link into a QR code generator like QRKIT, customize the design with your brand colors and logo, then create a free account to download the file. See the full step-by-step walkthrough in the guide above.
: Yes. Google's built-in QR code in Business Profile is free. QRKIT's free plan lets you create a dynamic Google Review QR code with your logo, brand colors, and basic scan tracking (1 dynamic code, 100 total scans/month), and downloading it takes a free account. Full analytics (device and location breakdowns, charts, CSV export), unlimited scans, and saving more codes are on paid plans from $6/month billed annually.
: A Place ID is a unique identifier Google assigns to each business location (for example, "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4"). You can find yours using Google's Place ID Finder tool. You'll need it if you want to build a custom review URL using the format: search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID.
: Not with Google's built-in QR code. Use a third-party QR code generator that supports logo embedding. QRKIT builds every code at error-correction level Q (about 25% of the pattern can be recovered) and drops your logo into the centre at a fixed size, so the code stays readable. Scan-test the result before you print it. Try the custom QR code generator
: Search for your business on Google, open 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews' in your Business Profile, and copy the shareable link. Alternatively, use Google's Place ID Finder to build the URL manually. See the detailed steps in the guide above.
: Yes, with a Dynamic QR Code. Every plan, including the free one, shows total and unique scans in your dashboard, plus your top location and top device. The full device, location and date-range breakdowns and CSV export are on paid plans from $6/month billed annually. Static QR codes cannot be tracked. Learn about QR code tracking
: A static code embeds the URL directly, so it's permanent but untrackable and uneditable. A dynamic code uses a redirect URL you can update and track. Dynamic is recommended for printed materials since you can fix the destination without reprinting. Learn about dynamic QR codes
: Top placements: counter displays, receipts, business cards, product packaging, email signatures, and post-service follow-up messages. Place it where customers are happiest, right after a positive experience. See the full list of 10+ placement ideas in the guide above.
: You can use both. NFC tap-to-review stands work alongside QR codes, with NFC for newer phones and QR for universal compatibility. Combo NFC + QR stands are available from Amazon and Vistaprint.
: It can help. Google's local-ranking guidance says more reviews and positive ratings can improve your local ranking, counting them as part of prominence alongside relevance and distance. That affects your visibility in Google Maps and the local pack, the map results that appear above organic listings. Google makes no ranking promise about review recency or how often you reply, so treat replying as customer care rather than an SEO tactic.
: Ask whoever manages your Google Business Profile (marketing agency, franchise HQ, or team member) for your review link. They can find it via 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews' in the Business Profile dashboard and share it with you. Each franchise location has its own link, so you'll need a separate QR code per location.
: The placements that work hardest are on the back of the bill or receipt, on the table tent next to the condiments, and on the to-go bag or coffee cup sleeve. Follow the size guide above — at least 2 cm on a bill or card, around 5 cm on a table tent — and add a frame that says ‘Loved your meal? Leave us a review.’ The point of payment tends to be the strongest moment, because customers have just had the experience and already have their phone out.
: Yes, and it’s arguably the easiest channel for trades and home services. Print the QR on the final invoice or leave-behind card, with copy like ‘If we did a great job, a quick review means the world.’ For mobile businesses, add the QR to the back of your van or to the magnetic business card you leave on the fridge. Give each van or crew its own dynamic QR code and you can compare scan counts to see which one puts the code in front of the most customers — more than one dynamic code needs a paid plan from $6/month billed annually.
: Three things move the needle. First, place the QR at the moment of peak satisfaction (after the meal, after the haircut, after the install), not days later. Second, prime the customer out loud — a spoken ‘If you enjoyed it, scan this, it takes about 30 seconds’ asks far more directly than a silent sticker does. Third, give each placement or each version of the wording its own dynamic code, then compare scan counts and keep what performs. That means more than one dynamic code, which is a paid plan from $6/month billed annually.
: No. Google explicitly encourages asking your customers to leave a review, and every Business Profile has a ‘Get more reviews’ link you can turn into a QR code. What’s NOT allowed: offering incentives (discounts, free items, prizes) in exchange for reviews, filtering customers before asking (only asking those you expect to leave 5 stars), or asking employees and family to post. Stick to neutral, unfiltered asks at the point of service and you’re inside policy.
: Build and design the code without signing in, then create a free account to download it — a free account gets you the PNG, while SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. Pick SVG for print (it is the only true vector export, so it scales to any size without blur), PNG for screens and email, or PDF to hand to a print shop. To print, set the size from the placement guide, print at 300+ DPI on matte or laminated stock, and always scan-test the printed copy before mass printing.
: Pair the QR with a short, benefit-led line customers read in one glance, such as “Enjoyed your visit? Scan to leave us a Google review — it takes 30 seconds.” Put the call-to-action above the code, use wording your customers actually say (“review us” or “leave a review”), and always explain what scanning does. The wording is printed alongside the code, so testing a new line means printing a new sign — but give each version its own dynamic code and you can compare their scan counts. The scan count itself is free; the location and device breakdown is on paid plans from $6/mo.
: Customers don't need a separate “Google reviews scanner” app. Every modern iPhone and Android opens QR codes straight from the built-in camera — they point, tap the link, and land on your Google review form. On your side, a QRKIT dynamic code counts each scan; the basic scan total is free up to 100 scans a month, and the location, device, and time breakdown is on paid plans from $6/mo.
: Google shows a free review link and a plain QR code under “Get more reviews” in your Business Profile — there is no download button, so you right-click the code and save the image. QRKIT lets you create a free, branded Google review QR code instead, which you can print as a sticker or window decal. Paste your review link into the generator, add your logo and a “Scan to review us” frame, then create a free account to download the PNG and print it on adhesive stock. Designing the code and the PNG download are free; SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack, and full scan analytics are on paid plans from $6/mo. Make QR code stickers
: Yes. Generate the QR code here first and save it as a dynamic code (free account) so you can edit and track the link, then download it as a PNG — SVG comes with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack — and place it into any Canva poster, table-tent, or sticker template. Avoid re-creating the QR inside Canva itself — a code generated as a static image can't be updated if Google changes your review URL.
: Yes. Every Google Business Profile location has its own review link, so a multi-location business needs one QR code per location. With dynamic codes you can manage all of them from one dashboard and compare scan counts per location. Creating and managing multiple dynamic codes is available on paid plans from $6/month billed annually.
: Minimum 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) for business cards and review cards, 5 × 5 cm (2 in) for counter stands and table tents, and 10 cm+ (4 in) for posters. Rule of thumb: the code should be at least 1/10th of the expected scanning distance. Always scan-test a printed sample before running a full batch.
: Yes. Paste your Google review link into the generator above and it produces a scannable code that takes customers straight to your review form — no searching. Add your logo and a “Review us” frame, download it with a free account, then print it on cards, receipts, or counter stands.
: You cannot review your own business, but you can make it easy for customers to. Open your Google Business Profile, select 'Read reviews' then 'Get more reviews,' and share the review link or its QR code. When a customer scans it, they land on a blank review form for your business, ready to rate and write.
: It can if every review comes from the same in-store Wi-Fi in a short burst — that pattern can look artificial to Google's spam filters. Let customers scan on their own mobile data or take a review card home, and space asks out naturally across the day. Never bulk-collect reviews on one device or network.
: Technically yes — paste that platform's URL into the generator instead of your Google link. But the platforms' rules are not identical, and Yelp's are the exception that matters: Yelp's business support centre says “Don't ask anyone to review your business, be it customers, mailing list subscribers, friends, family, etc.” and warns that asking may hurt your rating because its software may not recommend reviews that look prompted by the business. Point a Yelp code at your Yelp business page as a “Find us on Yelp” code instead — see Yelp and Tripadvisor QR codes above. Trustpilot and Facebook work like Google. To reach several platforms from one printed code, send it to a link page listing all of them, or see our QR code for feedback guide.
: Open your Yelp business page in a browser and copy its URL from the address bar — Yelp's own developer documentation shows a business page as https://www.yelp.com/biz/molinari-delicatessen-san-francisco, so yours is yelp.com/biz/ plus the slug Yelp assigned you. Don't spell that slug out by hand. Paste the URL into the generator as a URL code, add your logo and download SVG for print. Caption it "Find us on Yelp", not "review us": Yelp's support centre tells businesses not to ask anyone for reviews, and says prompted reviews may not be recommended by its software, which means they stop counting toward your star rating. Yelp's own list of things you may do instead includes a "Find us on Yelp" sticker you can request for your storefront or service vehicle and in-store signage pointing people to your Yelp page — a code that opens that page fits right in.
: Get it from Tripadvisor rather than from a template. Tripadvisor does not publish a documented review-link URL pattern, so search Tripadvisor for your property, open your own listing, use its write-a-review control, and copy whatever URL your browser lands on out of the address bar. That is the link you paste into the generator as a URL code. Test it in a private or incognito window first, because a URL captured while you are signed in can carry session parameters that mean nothing to a customer's phone. Make it a dynamic code: if Tripadvisor reshapes its links you repoint the code you already printed instead of reprinting your table cards and room signs.
: A code that asks for a review runs against Yelp's stated guidelines; a code that simply opens your Yelp page does not. Yelp's business support centre says "Don't ask anyone to review your business, be it customers, mailing list subscribers, friends, family, etc.", and warns that proactively asking "may hurt your Yelp rating because our automated software may not recommend reviews that seem to be prompted or encouraged by the business." Not-recommended reviews do not factor into your star rating, so the ask can cost you the very reviews it produced. A "Find us on Yelp" code pointing at your business page is the safe version, and it matches what Yelp itself suggests — signage and stickers that make your Yelp presence visible. One more thing if you brand the code: Yelp's Brand Center asks you not to use the standalone Yelp logo for your business, to use the "Find us on Yelp" logo instead, and not to imply Yelp sponsors or endorses you.
