How to get a Google review link for your business

The short answer

To get a Google review link, find your business in the free Pin & Stars generator, or open your Google Business Profile and use its review sharing option. The link opens the star rating and text box directly, so customers skip the search. It looks like search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= followed by your Place ID.

What a Google review link is

A Google link for reviews is a web address that opens the review box for your business. The customer lands on the stars and the text field, with your business already chosen. There is nothing to search for and nothing to find.

That matters because every extra step loses people. "Find us on Google and leave a review" asks a customer to remember your name, search, scroll and tap. A link asks for one tap.

Method 1: The free generator

The fastest way is the free Google review link generator. Type your business name and city, pick your listing, and the tool shows your link. You can copy it, open it to test, and download a QR code to print.

It needs no sign-up. The link is built from your Google Place ID, so it doesn't expire unless the listing is removed.

Method 2: From your Business Profile

If you manage your profile, Google gives you a share option for reviews. Sign in with the account that manages the listing, search for your business name on Google, and look for the option to ask for reviews or share a review form. Google's menu names change from time to time, so look for the words review and share.

Copy the link it gives you and open it in a private window to confirm it lands on the review box. If it asks you to search for the business, it isn't the right link. Send the same link to everyone, so every review lands on the right listing.

Method 3: Build it from your Place ID

Every Google listing has a Place ID. You can find yours with Google's Place ID finder, a free tool for developers. Add it to this address to make the link:

https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID
Replace YOUR_PLACE_ID with the ID you found.
Paste the result in a browser and check that your business appears.

Where to put the link

Text it after the job is done. Add it to the email receipt. Print the QR code on invoices and counter cards. Our free QR code generator makes a print-ready one. Put the link where the customer is when they feel good about the work.

Follow Google's rules when you use it

Google asks for genuine reviews. Offering a discount, a gift or any reward for a review is not allowed. You also can't ask only happy customers, a practice called review gating, or ask staff to hit a number. Send the link to every customer and let the reviews be what they are. A mix of ratings looks more believable to a shopper than a wall of perfect scores.
