QR code for Google reviews
A review QR takes the customer straight to the rating form on your Google listing, stars ready to tap. No searching for the business, no scrolling down the listing hunting for the button. That short journey is where most of the reviews people intended to leave get lost.
The number and freshness of your reviews affect how your business shows up on the map when someone searches nearby. That's why a small sign with this code at the counter, on the table or on the receipt tends to move the needle more than almost any other low-cost action.

Your QR code
How it works
- 1
Get your review link
Go to your Google Business Profile, find the option to ask for reviews and copy the short link it gives you. It looks like g.page/r/... and opens the form directly.
- 2
Paste the link and generate the code
Scan it with your phone before printing: it has to open the rating window for your business, not the general listing.

Download and print with a call to action
Add a short line beside the code. A square with no explanation tells nobody that this is where you leave an opinion.
Where to put it, and when
The moment matters more than the place. The best review is asked for while the customer is happy and still on the premises, not two days later by email. In a restaurant, that means with the bill. In a salon or a workshop, when handing over the finished job. In a hotel, at the desk during checkout.
The formats that work best are the ones that end up in the customer's hand or in front of their eyes while they wait: the bill holder, a card in the bag, a small sign by the till, the back of the receipt. A poster high on the wall gets seen but not scanned, because nobody pulls out a phone to read a wall.
What you can't do, and why it's worth knowing
Google's policies prohibit offering anything in exchange for a review: discounts, a free coffee, entry into a prize draw. You also can't gate reviews, meaning showing the code only to happy customers and diverting everyone else to an internal form. Both can cost you the removal of the reviews collected that way, and with repeat offences the suspension of the listing.
What you can do is ask, and there are no restrictions there. Asking every customer equally, clearly and without steering the content, is the correct practice and the one that holds up over time.
A practical warning about negative reviews: they'll arrive with or without a QR. What changes how a business is perceived isn't having no bad reviews, it's having plenty of good ones around them and polite replies to the bad ones. A business with 4.2 stars and two hundred reviews reads as more trustworthy than one with five stars and three.
