How to make a QR code for Google reviews

Get your review link or Google's QR code

Sign in to the Google account that manages your Business Profile. Then:

1. Select Read reviews, then Get more reviews.
2. Choose Copy to copy the review link.
3. If you only need Google's QR image, right-click it and choose Save image as….

Google's current instructions say review QR codes can be generated in a computer browser, not on mobile devices.

Check the business name and location before copying. If you manage several locations, use each location's own review link.

Google's QR image may be all you need. Use QR Codes Made Easy if you want custom colors, a logo, or an SVG file for a print layout.

Make a custom review code

1. Open the generator and select Website.
2. Paste the review link you copied from Google.
3. Keep the default dark code on white, or choose a high-contrast design. A logo is optional.
4. Download PNG for an image file or SVG for a vector file that can scale without becoming blurry.

The generator creates the pattern in your browser. It does not upload the link or logo. You do not need an account to generate or download it.

Adding a logo covers part of the pattern. The tool increases error correction, but that is not a guarantee that every design will scan. Test the finished file and printed piece. See logo sizing if your design needs a center logo.

What should the sign say?

Give people a clear, optional invitation. For example:

Place the QR code below the invitation and include your business name. This is an illustrative copy example, not a claim that this wording increases reviews.

Avoid “Leave us five stars,” rewards for reviewing, or a process that sends happy customers to Google while routing unhappy customers elsewhere. Google's contribution policy prohibits incentives and selectively soliciting positive reviews. It also says not to require or pressure customers to review while on the premises or request specific review content.

Invite genuine feedback without trying to control the rating.

Where to put it—and how to check the print

A counter card, receipt, or thank-you insert can make the review link easy to find. Google also lists displaying the QR code in your store as an option. Make reviewing optional; do not make it a condition of service or a discount.

Before ordering a batch:

• Choose a size for the viewing distance. Use the print-size calculator as a starting point, not a guarantee. A receipt and a sign across a room need different layouts.
• Keep the empty border. Do not crop the quiet zone or put text inside it.
• Print one finished sample. Include the actual colors, logo, paper, holder, and intended size.
• Scan it in place. Check the expected distance and lighting. Watch for glare from a plastic holder or window.
• Confirm the destination. Check the business name and correct location, not just whether the camera recognizes the pattern. Do not submit a test review unless it reflects a genuine eligible customer experience.

A successful scan from your screen does not prove the printed sign will work. If the sample fails, start with QR scanning problems and fixes.

Does the code expire?

A static QR code has no built-in expiry date. It stores the link in the pattern, so there is no QR Codes Made Easy redirect or subscription to maintain.

The destination still has to work. Google controls the review link and review service. Check your displayed codes periodically and after changes to your business profile. If you need to encode a different link, generate a new static code and replace the old print.

See static and dynamic QR codes for the tradeoffs.

Review-request rules

Ask customers for honest feedback about a genuine experience. Do not offer payment, discounts, or free items in exchange for a review. Do not discourage negative feedback, ask only selected happy customers, or pressure anyone to review on the spot.

A scan is not a completed review. Neither the QR image nor this generator reports how many customers submitted reviews.
