A QR code for Google reviews

Copy your Google review link, paste it into the generator below, and download a free static QR code. A review link rarely changes, so this code will usually work for as long as you print it.

Printing it?

That code can never be changed

The link is baked into the pattern. If the page moves or the offer behind it ends, every poster you printed points at a dead URL and the only fix is reprinting them.

A dynamic code points at us instead, so you can change where it goes whenever you like — and see how many people scanned it.

Happy customers rarely leave reviews

Most customers who enjoyed their visit mean to leave a review and forget by the time they get home. The ones who do write are usually the ones with a complaint. The fix is to ask while the customer is still there, and to make the review form one scan away rather than a search.

A hairdresser who puts a small code by the till, on the appointment card and on the bottom of the receipt is asking three times without saying a word. A café can put it on the table next to the menu code. A plumber can put it on the invoice.

The code only needs to open one thing: the review form for your business. That address is fixed, which makes this one of the few cases where the free code is the whole answer.

You do not need a dynamic code for this

Your review link belongs to your Google Business Profile, and it does not change when you edit your opening hours or your photos. A static code holds that link in its pattern and opens it directly. It is free, it needs no account, and nothing we do can switch it off. Make it above, print it, and you are done.

A dynamic code is worth it only if you want something a static code cannot give you. One reason is counting scans, to see whether the receipt or the till brings in more reviews. Another is reusing the same printed code for something else later, such as a feedback form of your own.

If you go that way, the free part of the deal is gone. A dynamic code opens the review form only while you subscribe. When you stop, customers get a notice that it is not active, starting 7 days after the last paid period.

How it works

  1. Create. Copy the review link from your Business Profile and paste it into the generator above.
  2. Print. Download the SVG and put it by the till, on receipts and on cards. Add one line asking for a review.
  3. Update anytime. With a static code there is nothing to update. If you chose dynamic, change the link from your account.

What it costs

Static codes are free, with no account. Dynamic codes cost $49 a year, which saves 30% against paying monthly, or $5.90 a month. We recommend yearly. Tax is included. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial that needs no payment details, and a subscription covers 5 dynamic codes. Cancel anytime and keep access to the end of the period you paid for.

If you stop paying, your dynamic codes stop resolving once the paid period and a further 7 days of grace have passed. Nothing is deleted: the codes, their links and their scan history stay in your account, and every code starts working the moment you subscribe again. Static codes never depend on us. They keep working as long as the page they point to does. We never switch one off, but we cannot bring back a page that has gone.

Questions

In your Google Business Profile. Sign in to the account that manages your business, open your profile, and look for the option to ask for reviews. It gives you a short link to copy. Open the link on your phone once, to check it lands on your review form, then paste it into the generator above.

Usually, yes. The review link belongs to your Business Profile, not to your street address or your name, so it stays the same as long as you update that profile rather than start a new one. If you ever do start a new profile, print a new code for it.

Can I offer a discount for a review?

No. Google's rules do not allow rewards for reviews, and reviews bought that way can be removed. Asking is fine. A code by the till with a plain line, such as "Enjoyed your visit? Tell others", is all it takes.

What should I check before printing?

Use the SVG if your printer accepts one. It is vector, so it stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a billboard. The PNG is there for everything that wants a picture instead.

Size it for the distance. A rough rule that holds up well: the code wants to be about a tenth as wide as the distance it is scanned from — two centimetres for a leaflet in someone's hand, a good deal more for a poster read across a room.

Leave the margin alone. The clear border around the pattern is part of the code, and cropping it to fit a layout is the most common reason a printed code will not scan.

Test the proof, not the screen. Scan the actual printed piece with more than one phone before the run goes ahead.

Need to change the link later?

7 days free, no card needed. Make a dynamic code and edit it whenever you like.
