How to Make a QR Code for Google Reviews
Get your review link from your Google Business Profile (open your profile, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link), then paste that link into a QR code generator to create a scannable code. Anyone who scans it lands directly on the page where they can leave a star rating and a review.
To make a QR code for Google reviews, first get your review link from your Google Business Profile: search for your business on Google, open your profile, and use the option to ask for reviews, which gives you a shareable link. Paste that link into a QR code generator, and you get a scannable code that takes anyone straight to your review page, skipping the step of searching for your business by name.
Step-by-step: getting your Google review link
- Sign in with the Google account that manages your business, and go to your Business Profile (search your business name on Google).
- Select Read reviews, then Get more reviews.
- Select Copy to copy the review link; this link points directly to the review box for your business.
- Test the link yourself on your phone first, to confirm it opens the review box rather than just your general listing.
Turn that link into a scannable code with the QR code generator. Add your logo in the centre and download it as PNG or SVG for printing.

Step-by-step: turning the link into a QR code
- Open the QR code generator and choose the link/URL option.
- Paste your copied Google review link into the field.
- Optionally set a colour that matches your brand, or add your logo in the centre for recognisability.
- Generate the code and scan it yourself with your phone camera to confirm it opens the review page correctly.
- Download it as PNG for digital use, or SVG if you plan to print it large without losing sharpness.
Test the finished QR code on both an iPhone and an Android phone before printing a large batch, since camera apps handle QR scanning slightly differently across devices, and you want to be certain it works for every customer.
Where to place the QR code for the best response
Print the QR code somewhere a happy customer naturally has a free moment: a receipt, a table tent at a restaurant, a card handed over at checkout, or a thank-you email after a service visit. A code stuck on a wall near the exit gets scanned far less often than one placed directly in a customer's hand at the moment they are already satisfied, since review requests work best right after a positive experience, not as an afterthought days later.
Add a short line of text near the code explaining what it does, such as "Scan to leave us a Google review," since an unlabelled QR code often gets ignored simply because people are not sure what scanning it will do.
Why the link matters more than the QR code itself
A QR code is only a container for whatever link you put into it; the actual review experience depends entirely on the link from your Business Profile. If you copy the wrong link (your general listing instead of the specific review-request link), customers who scan the code may land on a page without a clear way to leave a review. Look specifically for the review-request link under Get more reviews rather than the general share link for your listing.
Following up without breaking any review policies
Asking every customer for a review is generally fine, but avoid offering a discount, freebie or any other incentive specifically for leaving a review, since Google's own help page says offering incentives such as free or discounted goods in exchange for reviews is fake engagement and strictly prohibited. A simple, unconditional request, such as a printed card asking customers to share their experience, keeps you on the right side of these rules while still making it easy for happy customers to leave feedback. If you run a multi-location business, create a separate review link and QR code for each location's own Business Profile, since a single shared code will send every customer's review to only one location's listing, which usually is not what you want.
Printing the code at the right size
A QR code needs enough contrast and size to scan reliably; a code printed smaller than about 2.5cm to 3cm on a side can be hard for some phone cameras to focus on, especially in low light. Download the SVG version rather than PNG whenever you plan to print at a larger size, such as a poster or window sticker, since SVG stays sharp at any size while a small PNG can look blurry when scaled up.
Common mistakes with Google review QR codes
- Using your general Google Maps listing link instead of the specific review-request link, which does not open the review box directly.
- Printing the code without testing it on a real phone first.
- Placing the code somewhere customers are unlikely to have their phone out, such as a large wall sign rather than a receipt or table card.
- Not labelling the code, leaving customers unsure what scanning it will do.
If you also want a code that opens a WhatsApp chat for customer queries, see the WhatsApp QR code generator. For a printed shop counter, a UPI payment QR code alongside your review code covers both payments and feedback in one card.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Google review link?
Open your Google Business Profile, find the option to ask for reviews (often labelled Ask for reviews or Get more reviews), and copy the link it provides. This link opens the review box directly rather than your general listing.
Does Google give me its own review QR code?
Yes. Under Read reviews > Get more reviews, Google shows a QR code you can save with right-click, Save image as. Google's help page says this QR code can currently be generated only on a computer browser, not on a phone. Making your own code from the copied link lets you add a logo, colours and an SVG file for large prints.
Can I customise the QR code with my logo or brand colours?
Yes, most QR code generators, including FixDoks', let you set a colour and place a logo in the centre of the code, as long as the code still scans reliably afterwards.
Where should I place a Google review QR code for the best results?
Somewhere a satisfied customer has a free moment right after a positive experience, such as a receipt, a table card or a follow-up message, rather than a wall sign customers pass by without their phone out.
Why does my QR code open the wrong page?
This usually means the wrong link was used when creating the code, such as your general Maps listing instead of the specific review-request link. Recopy the correct link from your Business Profile and regenerate the code.
