How do I make a QR code for Google reviews?
Open your Google Business Profile on a computer, choose the option to ask for or get more reviews, and download the QR code Google provides. It links straight to your review form. Print it at reception, on the till, on invoices or on a card you hand to customers.
Key takeaways
- ✓Google provides a free review QR code in your Business Profile.
- ✓You need a computer browser to download it.
- ✓Put it where customers pause: reception, till, table, invoice.
- ✓A short line of text next to it makes people more likely to scan.
- ✓Ask in person too. The code works best with a nudge.
There’s no need to pay for a QR code generator. Google gives you one.
How to get a QR code for Google reviews
- 1Open your Google Business Profile.
- 2Choose the option to ask for reviews or get more reviews.
- 3Copy the review link, or download the QR code image.
That code opens your review form directly. No searching, no extra taps.
Where to put it
Where customers pause and have a moment:
- Reception desk or till
- Restaurant tables or the bill folder
- The back of appointment cards
- Invoices and receipts
- A small card left after a job in someone’s home
What to write next to it
A QR code on its own gets ignored. Add a short line:
“How did we do? Scan to leave us a Google review. It really helps.”
Keep the wording neutral. “Happy with your visit?” sounds as if you only want good reviews, and Google expects you to ask every customer the same way.
Say it out loud too
The code works best with a nudge: “If you’ve got a second, there’s a code there for a Google review. It really helps us.”
Keep it fair
Show the code to everyone, not just customers you think are happy, and never offer anything in return for a review.
| Business | Best spot |
| Clinic or dental practice | Reception desk |
| Salon | Next to the till mirror |
| Restaurant | On the bill or table card |
| Trades | Card left with the invoice |
For clinics, Review Your Doctor gives every patient the choice of a Google review or private feedback. Read more on getting more Google reviews, and why reviews help you rank higher on Google Maps.
Testing your code
Before printing, scan it with two or three different phones. Make sure it opens your review form, not just your profile. Print it at least 3cm wide so it scans from a desk or counter. Keep the area around it clear of other designs so phones can read it easily.
We’ll set up your review QR code and a simple routine for asking every customer.
