How to Make a QR Code for Google Reviews
Reviews arrive when asking takes one second. This guide shows how to build a code that opens the Google review box already pointed at your business, with the star rating one tap away. You can do all of this free at liveqr.codes — no signup needed for a static code, and a one-time $1.99 upgrade unlocks unlimited dynamic codes with scan analytics.
Steps
- Find your Google Business Profile — Sign in to your Google Business Profile and open the location you want reviews for. Only verified profiles can collect reviews.
- Get the review link — Use the "Ask for reviews" share link in your profile, or build one with your place ID in the format https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_ID.
- Test the link in a browser — Paste it into a phone browser. It should open the review dialog with your business name and stars visible, not a search results page.
- Generate the QR code — Paste the verified link into the generator and match the colour to your brand while keeping strong contrast.
- Place it where the experience ends — Receipts, checkout counters, table cards, and delivery packaging convert best because the visit is still fresh.
Pro tips
- Add the words "Leave us a review in 10 seconds" next to the code
- Never offer discounts for positive reviews — that breaks Google policy
- A dynamic code lets you switch between Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor seasonally
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a QR code for Google reviews?
Copy the review link from your Google Business Profile and encode it. Confirm it opens the review dialog before printing.
Is it against the rules to ask for reviews with a QR code?
Asking is allowed. Incentivising or filtering to only happy customers is not.
Can I track how many people scanned?
Yes with a dynamic code, which counts scans even when the reviewer abandons the form.
