Google review link and QR code: how to create and use them

A direct link skips the profile page and opens the review box. Here is how to make one and where to put the QR code.

In short

A Google review link opens the write-a-review box directly; printed as a QR code at the point of service, it removes the two taps where most customers drop out.

A review link is just a URL that opens Google's review dialog for your business. The difference between that and a link to your profile is two taps — and two taps is where people give up.

Google Business Profile exposes a share link, and ReviewMix generates the same direct link for every connected business, ready to copy.

Turning it into something printable

  • Counter card for the till or reception desk
  • Table tent for restaurants and cafés
  • Sticker sheet for tools, folders and vans
  • Window decal for footfall you never speak to

Print QR codes at least 2.5 cm wide and test them from the distance a customer will actually stand.

The printed pieces are the printables kit, which starts at Pro; the link and a plain QR code are on every plan, including Free — see pricing for what each tier includes.

If you want the whole picture rather than one piece of it, what ReviewMix actually does lists every feature and the plan it sits on.

Comparing a few tools before you print? Review QR code builders: what to compare covers where the scan should land, what "printable" has to mean, and what to check on price.

Once the code exists, placement decides whether anyone scans it: where to put your Google review QR code ranks the spots by the moment the customer is happiest.
