Free Google Review QR Code Generator

What is a review QR code?

A review QR code is a scannable barcode that takes customers directly to your online review page — on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Tripadvisor, or anywhere else you collect reviews. When a customer points their phone camera at it, they land instantly on the page to leave a star rating and comment.

Instead of asking a customer to "search for us on Google and leave a review" (which almost no-one does), a review QR code removes every step of friction. One scan, and they're there.

How to get your Google review link

1. Log in to Google Business Profile (business.google.com)
2. Find your business listing and click "Ask for reviews"
3. Copy the short review link — it looks like g.page/r/XXXXXX/review
4. Paste it into the generator above

Don't have manager access to the profile? Our free Google review link generator builds a direct review link from a business search, with no sign-in needed.

Would you rather carry your code on your phone than print it? See our guide to the Google review card, including a virtual review card for iPhone.

You can also use the direct link to your Trustpilot, Facebook, or Tripadvisor profile — the generator works with any URL.

Google, Trustpilot and Yelp QR codes: what each platform allows

The generator will turn any link into a QR code, but the platforms differ on whether you should ask for reviews at all.

Google review QR code

Google's own guidance for businesses says you can ask customers to visit a Google link or scan a QR code to leave reviews. What Google prohibits is offering incentives, such as discounts or freebies, in exchange for a review.

Trustpilot review QR code

Trustpilot's guidelines for businesses allow invitations by links or QR codes, provided they are fair and neutral. In practice that means inviting everyone in the same way, not picking only the customers you know are happy, and offering no incentives. Use the review link from your Trustpilot company profile.

Yelp QR code: read this first

Yelp takes the opposite position. Its "Don't Ask for Reviews" policy says: "Don't ask anyone to review your business". Yelp's recommendation software may filter reviews that appear to have been requested, so a sign reading "Review us on Yelp" can work against you. You can still create a QR code that links to your Yelp page — for example "Find us on Yelp" — but that is a profile link, not a review request. Yelp does not endorse a particular alternative.

Where to put your review QR code

The best places to display a review QR code are wherever your customers are right after a positive experience:

• Printed invoices and receipts — include it at the bottom with a short "How did we do?" message
• Counter signage — use with care. Sterling Sky's 2026 review of five businesses hit by a Google review-posting block listed QR codes at counters, tables and checkout among the shared patterns (a small sample, not a Google rule). If you use one, word it as "scan after your visit"
• Thank-you cards and packaging — slip one inside deliveries or orders
• Vehicle wraps and vans — great for trades businesses and delivery drivers
• Email signatures — embed the QR image in your email footer
• Flyers and leaflets — include alongside any post-service communications

Why reviews matter for your business

In BrightLocal's 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey of 1,002 US adults, 83% of people who were asked to leave a review went on to leave one this year. A steady stream of fresh reviews builds social proof for new customers and gives you feedback on what's working.

The challenge most businesses face isn't that customers won't leave reviews — it's that they don't ask, or they make it too hard. A review QR code solves the second problem instantly. If you want to solve the first too, Plaudit automates review request emails and texts so you never have to remember to ask.

Tips for a QR code customers will actually scan

• Add a clear call to action — use the text field above. Something like "Scan to leave us a review" or "Happy with our service? Let us know!" works well.
• Make it big enough to scan — on printed materials, aim for at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) square. On A4 flyers, 5 cm is ideal.
• Keep contrast high — stick to a dark QR colour on a light background for reliable scanning.
• Test before you print — scan your downloaded QR code with your phone before committing to a large print run.
• Use a short URL — Google's review short links are already compact, which means a less dense, easier-to-scan QR code.
• Spread requests out — a code on every receipt produces steady reviews; a burst from one busy weekend can look unnatural. If a review doesn't appear, see why Google reviews don't show up.
