How do you get your Google review link?
Your Google review link is https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= followed by your business’s Place ID. Find the Place ID with Google’s Place ID finder, paste it here, and this page builds the link and a QR code that opens your review form. If you manage your Business Profile, Google also gives you its own review link and QR code: open it on a computer, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews. This page is for when you can’t get into the profile, or want a printable counter card and request messages; paste Google’s link here and it is used as-is.
Google’s Business Profile help suggests asking customers to visit a Google link or scan a QR code to leave a review. Google does not document the writereview?placeid= format on a public page we could find; it is the format in common use, so scan the code with your own phone before you print. Google’s Maps content policy forbids offering incentives for reviews and selectively asking for positive ones, and the message templates follow both rules.

How to find your Google Place ID
- 1.Open Google's Place ID finder. It sits on Google's Place IDs documentation page, in the section about finding the ID of a particular place. Open the Place ID finder.
- 2.Search for your business. Type the business name as it appears on Google Maps, and pick the listing at your street address from the suggestions.
- 3.Copy the Place ID. The map pin shows the name, the Place ID (a long string that usually starts with ChIJ) and the address. Copy only the ID.
- 4.Paste it here. Paste it into the box above. If you have more than one location, each address has its own Place ID and its own review link.
If you manage the Business Profile, Google gives you its own review link under Read reviews, then Get more reviews. Paste it here and it is used as-is. Short maps.app.goo.gl links hide the ID, so they will not work here.

A counter card for the front desk
Print it, cut it out, and stand it by the till or the door, where people pay and leave. Not in the chair, the treatment room or at the table. The card asks once and offers nothing in return, the same as the messages below.
Prints at 4 × 6 inches on letter paper, with a dashed cut line.
[Business name]
Leave us a review on Google
Point your phone camera at the code. It opens our Google review form.
Thank you for visiting.
Three ways to ask, after checkout
When to ask: salon or barber
Ask after they have seen the finished work in the mirror and paid. Never with foil in or the cape still on. Send the text only once the visit is marked complete.
Text message after the visit
Hi [First name], thanks for coming in to [Business name] today. If you have a minute, a Google review helps people find us: [your Google review link]
149 characters. Send once, after the visit is marked complete.
Email after the visit
Subject: A quick request from [Business name]
Hi [First name], Thank you for your visit with us at [Business name]. If you have a minute, would you leave us a Google review? It helps people find us. You can write it here: [your Google review link] Thank you, [Your name], [Business name]
In person, at checkout
At checkout, after they have looked in the mirror. Hand them the card and step away; don't watch them type.
“If you have a second, a Google review helps people find us on Google. The code on this card opens the review form, whenever suits you.”
Replace the bracketed parts, and send in the language the client already used with you. Use one link per street address: if you have two locations, each has its own Place ID.
The rules every ask follows
- Ask once per visit, after checkout. If they ignore it, that is an answer: no second nudge.
- No incentives. No discount, freebie, prize draw or donation in exchange for a review. Google's policy forbids it.
- Do not tell them what to write, ask for a star rating, or ask them to name a staff member.
- Ask every completed visit the same way. Sending the link only to people you expect to be happy is selective solicitation, which Google's policy also forbids.
- Do not send the link into a thread with an open complaint, refund or redo. A person handles that first.
- Use the review link for the address they actually visited, and write in the language they already used with you.

- Google Business Profile Help: Create a Google link or QR code to request reviews: if you manage the Business Profile, Google gives you its own review link and QR code under Read reviews, then Get more reviews (computer browser only).
- Google Maps Platform: Place IDs (includes the Place ID finder): what a Place ID is, and the finder used in the steps above.

How to make a Google review link and QR code
01
Find your Place ID
Open Google’s Place ID finder, search for your business, pick the listing at your street address and copy the ID, which usually starts with ChIJ.
02
Paste it and test the link
Paste the ID or a Google Maps link that contains it. Copy the review link, then open it on your phone to check it shows your business.
03
Download, print and ask once
Download the QR code as SVG or PNG, print the counter card for the till, and copy the text, email or in-person script for after checkout.
Common questions
Can’t I get a review link and QR code from Google directly?
Yes, if you have access to the Business Profile. On a computer, open your profile at business.google.com, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link or save the QR code. Google notes the QR code can only be made in a computer browser. Use this page when you don’t have profile access, or when you want a printable 4 × 6 counter card and ready-to-send messages.
What is a Google Place ID and where do I find it?
A Place ID is the text string Google Maps uses to identify one listing, such as ChIJgUbEo8cfqokR5lP9_Wh_DaM. Search for your business in the Place ID finder on Google’s Place IDs documentation page and copy the ID shown on the map pin. Each street address has its own.
Why did my Google Maps link not work?
Most Maps links do not contain a Place ID, and short share links such as maps.app.goo.gl hide it. This page only reads what you paste; it never opens the link to look inside. Use the Place ID finder instead, or paste the review link Google gives you in your Business Profile.
Does the QR code for Google reviews expire?
No. The code holds the review link itself, with no redirect or tracking service in between, so it keeps working for as long as the link does. Google notes that Place IDs can change over time, so scan your printed card about once a year to check it still opens your review form.
When should I send a Google review request?
Once, after checkout. In a salon that means after they have seen the finished work in the mirror; in a clinic, after checkout has closed and they have left the room. Do not ask during the service, and do not send the link into a thread with an open complaint.
Can I offer a discount or a prize for a Google review?
No. Google’s Maps content policy does not allow incentives such as payment, discounts or free goods in exchange for reviews, and it forbids asking only the customers you expect to be happy. In the US, the FTC’s 2024 reviews rule also targets bought sentiment.
Does this tool contact Google or store what I enter?
No. The link, the QR code and the messages are built in your browser. The page never requests Google, and nothing you type is sent to LLDTEK or saved.
See it against your book
The link is ready. Someone still has to ask after checkout.
LLDTEK’s reviews agent asks after checkout: one Google review request, in the language the client already used, with no second follow-up. On a 30-minute demo we show it against the calendar you already run, and tell you plainly if your desk already asks every visit and does not need it.
