Google reviews drive local SEO, conversion, and trust — but asking customers to find your business on Google, scroll, and tap 'Write a review' is too much friction. A Google reviews QR code skips every step: scan, write, submit.

What a Google reviews QR code does

It's a printable QR that points to your Google Business Profile's direct review URL. When a customer scans, Google opens the star-rating screen for your exact location — no search, no scrolling, no wrong business.

How to get your Google review link

  1. Open business.google.com and pick your location.
  2. Click 'Ask for reviews' on the dashboard.
  3. Copy the short link Google generates (format: g.page/r/...).
  4. Paste it into Linkly's QR generator and download.

Where to print it

  • Receipt footer (highest conversion — happy customer, fresh experience)
  • Table tents in restaurants and cafés
  • Counter sign at point of payment
  • Invoice and quote PDFs (digital QR works too)
  • Thank-you cards in shipped product packaging
  • Email signature — yes, a QR in email gets desktop-to-phone scans

Copy that lifts scan rate

Don't just say 'Leave us a review'. Try: 'Loved your visit? Scan to leave a 30-second Google review — it really helps a small business like ours.' Specificity, a short time promise, and an emotional ask all lift conversion.

Why dynamic QRs win for reviews

If you ever change locations, rebrand, or add a second branch, a dynamic QR lets you swap the destination without reprinting. Linkly QRs are dynamic by default — and you'll see which placement actually drives scans.

Pair it with a feedback page for negative reviews

Send happy customers to Google, unhappy ones to a private form. Build a Linkly mini-page that asks 'How was your visit?' — 5 stars routes to Google, anything less routes to a private feedback form. You collect 5-star reviews publicly and complaints privately.
