How do I create a Google Review QR Code?

Creating a QR code for Google Business
Google Business Dashboard
  • Go to your Google Business account and select the company you want to create the QR code for Google Business.
  • Copy the “Share reviews form” URL (this is your personal Google review link)
  • Create a QR Code with our QR Code Generator using the Google reviews URL

Upgrade: during COVID19 quarantine Google has disabled some services/options such as reviews will not work as usual

Where should you place the QR Codes and how can you promote them?

Once you have your QR Code ready it is time to place it in strategic places so your customers can review their experience with your business. As we always mention, it is not enough printing a QR Code and expect that the users will scan it. You have to explain and motivate. your customers to get a review.

Consider creating a promo for the users who reviewed your business this month.

A call-to-action, which is the text that goes next to the QR Code, is mandatory. The more appealing they are, the more likely it is you will get a review. Getting a good review is not up to the QR Code.

A personal note at the end of the menu (next to the desserts) asking your customers to share their experience can be a nice way to ask for reviews.

Other review platforms

We have brought it down to Google Business since it is probably the most global review service and it also has an impact on the SEO of your project, specially local and mobile. However, there are some other review site where you can ask your users to write a review.

Facebook

You can also ask your users to leave a review on your Facebook page. This will improve the social reputation of your page and your company (as long as they are good reviews).

It is as easy as creating a QR Code with the following URL scheme https://www.facebook.com/YOUR-FACEBOOK-PAGE-NAME/reviews/

Tripadvisor

It is probably the largest travel platform and their reviews are one of the main assets of the company. If you have a business listed on Tripadvisor you can easily create a dynamic QR Code and invite your visitors to review their experience. For example a Tripadvisor review for the Hotel Sacher.
