Google Review Link Generator
Get a link that opens your Google review box in one tap. No searching Maps, no picking the wrong listing, no scrolling. Just the stars.
How to get your Google review link

Where to put your review link
Every extra step between “happy to review” and the review box loses people. Put the link where your customers already are.
Receipts and invoices
The QR code in a corner, with one line asking for a review.
The counter
The printable card in a stand where people wait.
Thank-you emails
A plain text link. Some email apps mangle buttons.
A text after the job
Works best for trades and home services, while the customer is still on site.
Your email signature
No effort, and it works quietly in the background.
Ask everyone, not just the happy ones
Sharing a review link is allowed, and Google encourages it. What breaks Google’s policy is review gating (only sending the link to customers you expect to be positive) and offering anything in return for a review. That’s why this tool makes one plain link to Google’s own review box, and nothing that pre-selects a rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Google review link generator free?
Yes. Free, with no signup and no limit on how many links you generate. The link, the QR code and the printable card are all produced in your browser.
What is a Place ID?
A Place ID is Google’s permanent identifier for one location, a string like ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4. Every review link is built from it: https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= followed by your ID. The search box finds it for you, and Google also publishes a Place ID finder in its Maps developer documentation.
Does the review link expire?
No. The link is built from your Place ID, which is Google’s permanent identifier for your listing. It keeps working if you rename the business, change your phone number or update your opening hours. It only breaks if the listing itself is removed or merged into another one.
Why can’t I generate the short g.page/r/ link?
Those short links were issued by Google to individual businesses and contain an identifier unrelated to your Place ID, so they cannot be derived or guessed. Google has also been retiring them. The search.google.com/local/writereview link this tool builds is the stable, documented form.
Do customers need a Google account to leave a review?
Yes. Google requires a signed-in Google account to post a review. Most people on an Android phone are already signed in, so the link opens straight on the review box; on other devices they may be asked to sign in first.
Can I put the QR code on a receipt, sticker or table talker?
Yes, that is what it is for. Download the SVG for anything being professionally printed, since it stays sharp at any size, and the PNG for quick use in a document or email. Print it at least 2cm across and keep the white border around it, or phone cameras will struggle.
Is it against Google’s policies to ask customers for reviews?
Asking is fine and Google encourages it. What breaches policy is review gating, meaning you survey customers first and only send the review link to the happy ones, and offering any incentive in exchange for a review. Ask every customer the same way and let the reviews fall where they fall.
The search cannot find my business. What now?
Open your listing in Google Maps, click Share, then Copy link, and paste that into the box. If the link looks like maps.app.goo.gl/... open it in a browser first and copy the full address after it redirects. The shortened form does not contain your Place ID. If your business has no Google Business Profile yet, you will need to create and verify one before it can receive reviews at all.
Now you have the link, what next?
A link only works if customers are actually asked.
