To get Google reviews with a QR code, copy the review link from your Google Business Profile, put it behind a dynamic QR code, and place the code where customers are happiest: the counter, the receipt, the table or the box. Ask in plain words, such as “Enjoyed it? Leave us a review”.
Step 1: Get your Google review link
Open your Google Business Profile and use the option to ask for reviews. Google gives you a short link that opens the review box for your business directly. Google’s own tips to get more reviews describe the same link.
If you sell online, your Shopify product review page works the same way. Any page where people can leave a review can sit behind the code.
Step 2: Put the link behind a dynamic code
In Qrivio, choose Get reviews when you make the code, paste your review link and pick your colors. Use a dynamic code rather than pasting the review link into a free static generator: if your profile, page or platform ever changes, you update the link once and every printed code follows.
Qrivio switches off tracking tags for review links by default, because the review page belongs to Google, not to your website.
Step 3: Place it where the moment is right
The best time to ask is right after a good experience. Put the code where people are when they feel that.
| Place | Why it works | Code size |
|---|---|---|
| Counter or till | People wait there for a moment with their phone in hand | 4–5 cm |
| Receipt or invoice | It travels home with the customer | 2–2.5 cm |
| Table tent | Diners scan while waiting for the bill | 4–5 cm |
| Inside the box | The unboxing is the happiest moment of an online order | 2.5–3 cm |
| Thank-you card | It feels personal, not like an ad | 2.5–3 cm |
Give each place its own code. After a few weeks you will see which one actually brings people to your review page.
Step 4: Say it plainly
A bare code gets ignored. Put one short line next to it:
- “Enjoyed your visit? Tell Google. It takes 30 seconds.”
- “Scan to leave us a review.”
- “Your review helps a small business. Thank you.”
Stay within Google’s rules
Google’s policy for reviews does not allow paying for reviews or offering rewards in exchange for them, and it does not allow asking only happy customers while steering unhappy ones away. In practice:
- Don’t attach a discount to the review. If you want to run an offer, use a separate code with a separate message.
- Ask everyone the same way. Don’t use a code’s routing to send only some customers to the review page.
- Reply to reviews, good and bad. It shows future customers that someone is listening.
Measure what works
Qrivio shows scans for each code as they happen, with the time and device. Compare scans per placement with the new reviews in your Google Business Profile. If the receipt code gets scans but few reviews, try a clearer line next to it. If the counter code gets none, it may be in the wrong spot.
Frequently asked questions
Can I offer a discount in exchange for a Google review?
No. Google’s policy does not allow rewards for reviews. Run offers through a separate QR code and keep the review request on its own.
Where do I find my Google review link?
In your Google Business Profile, use the option to ask for reviews. Google gives you a short link that opens your review box directly.
What if my review link changes?
With a dynamic QR code you change the link once in your dashboard and every printed code follows. Nothing needs reprinting.
Where should I put a review QR code?
Where customers are happiest: the counter, the receipt, the table or inside the box. Give each spot its own code so you can see which works.
