Google Review Link Generator

SEO·16

Paste your Google Place ID and get the direct “write a review” link for your business — plus a QR code customers can scan and ready-to-send request messages. Everything is built in your browser; no Google account or API key is needed.

How to find your Place ID

  1. Open Google’s official Place ID finder (Google Maps Platform documentation).
  2. Search for your business by name and town, exactly as it appears on Google Maps.
  3. Click your business in the results — its Place ID appears on the map marker.
  4. Copy the full ID (it looks like ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4) and paste it above.

A Place ID is a public identifier for a place on Google Maps — it is not a password or an API key, and sharing it is safe. This tool never calls the Google API; it simply builds Google’s standard review URL from the ID you paste.

Turn a Google Place ID into a direct review link, a scannable QR code and ready-to-send review request messages.

Google Review Link Generator — One Link & QR Code That Ask for the Review guide

Turn your Google Place ID into the direct “write a review” link for your business, a QR code for counters and packaging, and ready-to-send review request messages for SMS, WhatsApp and email.

How to use this tool

  1. Find your Place ID in Google’s official Place ID finder (linked on the tool): search your business, click it on the map and copy the long ID from the marker.
  2. Paste the Place ID into the tool. It is checked on the spot — a real ID is at least 8 characters of letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores — and add your business name if you want it in the messages.
  3. Copy your review link. It is Google’s standard format, search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=…, and the Open / test button lets you try it exactly as a customer would.
  4. Download the QR code as a PNG at 256, 512 or 1024 px and put it on receipts, counter cards, packaging or your shop window — scanning it opens the review form directly.
  5. Send a request while the visit is fresh: copy the short SMS / WhatsApp text, the email version with subject and body, or print the one-line card text next to the QR code.

A worked example

A café pastes its Place ID, downloads the 1024 px QR code and prints it on a table card reading “★★★★★ Enjoyed your visit to Sunrise Bakery? Leave us a Google review” with the link underneath for anyone who prefers typing. The same link goes into the WhatsApp message the café sends regulars after a catering order — one link, every channel, and every tap lands straight on the review form with no searching or sign-in detours beyond Google’s own.

What you can do with this tool

How it works

Google’s review link is a fixed URL pattern: the writereview address plus your Place ID, which is the permanent public identifier of your business listing on Google Maps. The generator validates the ID’s shape, substitutes it into that pattern, and renders the same link into a QR code locally in your browser with the same QR library the site’s QR Code Generator uses. The message templates are plain text with your business name and the link substituted in — nothing is sent, posted or tracked by the tool.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Place ID?

In Google’s official Place ID finder, linked from the tool: search for your business, click it, and the ID is shown on the map marker. It looks like a long code such as ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4. If your business has several locations, each one has its own ID and needs its own link and QR code.

Is the review link different from my Google Maps link?

Yes. A Maps link opens your listing, and the customer still has to find the review button. The writereview link opens the review form itself, one tap from writing — which is why it converts better on cards, receipts and messages.

Will the QR code work forever?

The QR code simply encodes the review link as text, so it works as long as the link does. If your listing is merged or replaced, generate a fresh code. Print size matters too: keep the printed code at least about 2 cm wide with clear contrast and test-scan it before a big print run.

Can I use the link in email and WhatsApp?

Yes — that is what the templates are for. The short text suits SMS and WhatsApp, and the email version includes a subject line and a polite body with the link on its own line. Send requests soon after the visit, while the experience is easy to describe.

Is it against Google’s rules to ask for reviews?

No — Google encourages asking customers for honest reviews. What is forbidden is paying for reviews, offering discounts for them, or only asking happy customers (review gating). These templates ask plainly and include an invitation to reply directly with complaints, which keeps you on the right side of the policy.

Does the tool store my Place ID or track clicks?

No. The link, QR code and messages are built entirely in your browser, and the QR code points straight at Google — there is no redirect through this site, so nothing is tracked or stored.
