How to create a Google review QR code

Google already provides a review link and QR code, so the simplest version needs no extra generator. A short-link route is useful when you need to separate openings from a counter sign, receipt, table or branch. It records that the link opened, not that the visitor submitted a review.

Quick option: download the QR code from Google

1. 1

   Open the right profile

   On a computer, sign in with the account that manages the business and open the Business Profile you want. Google currently says review QR codes can be generated in a computer browser, not on mobile.

2. 2

   Choose Get more reviews

   Select Read reviews and then Get more reviews. Check the business name and location before copying or downloading anything.

3. 3

   Save the code

   Right-click the QR code and choose Save image as. Keep the review link too for email, WhatsApp and placements where tapping is more natural than scanning.

4. 4

   Run a real test

   Scan the file with another phone and confirm it opens the correct profile and starts the review flow. Test it again from a print at the final size.

Native or measured QR code: which to choose

Do not report openings as reviews. After opening the link, a person may still choose a rating, write, sign in and submit; taap.at cannot observe those steps. Compare openings with the real change in Business Profile reviews without automatically attributing every new review to the QR code.

How to create a measurable version

1. 1

   Copy Google's review link

   In Get more reviews, copy the link supplied by Google. Open it once and confirm it belongs to the correct profile.

2. 2

   Define one placement

   Decide where this QR code will live: counter, receipt, table, packaging or branch. Create a separate one for every placement you need to compare.

3. 3

   Create the link and QR code

   Paste the official link into the generator. For long-lived print, claim the link in an account and decide whether you need destination editing or a longer analytics window.

4. 4

   Give it an operational name

   Use names such as reviews_central_branch_counter. The name should identify the placement, not promise a review or identify the visitor.

5. 5

   Test before printing

   Scan it on iPhone and Android, check the redirect and open the final destination. Then validate a print from the actual viewing distance.

Print it so people can scan it

• Keep a clear white margin around the code and strong contrast; do not place text or logos over its modules.
• Use a neutral visible prompt such as “Tell us about your experience.” Do not ask for five stars.
• Provide written fallback text or a short link for people who cannot scan.
• Do not stretch the image or repeatedly export it from screenshots. Test the final production file.
• Place it after a genuine experience: on a receipt, in a thank-you email or in follow-up—not as pressure during service.
• Before a large print run, test ten copies on the same material, lighting and scanning distance.

Request reviews without incentives or selection

Reviews must reflect genuine experiences. Google prohibits payments, discounts, free goods or services in exchange for posting a review, changing one or removing a negative review. It also prohibits discouraging negative reviews, selectively requesting positive reviews, pressuring people to post on the premises or requiring specific wording.

A simple 28-day measurement plan

1. 1

   Record the baseline

   Note the date, total review count and visible rating before placing the codes.

2. 2

   Separate placements

   Use a different QR code for receipts, counters and each branch. Keep the prompt unchanged during the first window.

3. 3

   Review openings and reviews

   After 14 and 28 days, compare openings by placement with the total new reviews. Report both figures separately.

4. 4

   Make one decision

   Keep the useful placement, improve a sign that earns openings without reviews, or remove a code nobody uses. Do not claim causation the data cannot establish.
