Your Google review link, as a code and a stand for the counter
Paste your shop's Google review link. You get a QR code that opens your review page and a table stand to print on one sheet of A4, folded once. It takes a minute and costs nothing.

This code goes straight to Google. It cannot be pointed somewhere else after you print it, and it cannot tell you how many people scanned it.
How to make it
01
Find your review link
Search for your business on Google or open it in Google Maps, signed in as its owner. Tap Ask for reviews or Get more reviews, then copy the link. It usually starts with g.page/r/.
02
Paste it and add your shop's name
We check that it is a real Google review link before making the code, so a stand never sends customers somewhere else. The name goes on the stand.
03
Print the stand
Print it on card if you can, fold it across the dashed line and stand it by the till. Both sides read the right way up.
Where a review stand works best
Put it where a happy customer waits with a phone in hand: by the billing counter, on the table when the bill arrives, at reception after an appointment. People leave a review in the minute after a good experience, and rarely later.
Say it out loud too, to everyone. "Would you leave us a review? The code takes ten seconds" turns a stand into a request, and a request is what most customers are waiting for.
Ask everyone, and answer every review
Google lets you ask every customer for a review. It does not let you offer anything in return, such as a discount or a free dessert, and it does not let you ask only the customers you think are happy. Reviews collected either way can be removed, and the listing can be penalised.
Reply to every review, the good and the bad. A calm reply to a complaint is read by every future customer who finds it, and it often matters more than the complaint.
When your link might change
A printed code keeps the link it was made with. If you move, merge two listings or Google gives you a new link, every stand on every table goes on opening the old one. A review point can be pointed at a new link after it is printed, and counts how often it is opened.
Questions
How do I find my Google review link?
Sign in as the owner of the business, search for it on Google or open it in Google Maps, and tap Ask for reviews or Get more reviews. Copy the link it shows. It usually starts with g.page/r/ or search.google.com.
Am I allowed to ask for Google reviews with a QR code?
Yes. Google allows businesses to ask customers for reviews. What it does not allow is offering something in return, or asking only the customers you expect to be happy.
Can I give a discount to customers who leave a review?
No. Google's rules forbid offering anything in exchange for a review, and reviews collected that way can be removed.
Why is the web address not printed on the stand?
A Google review link is long and nobody types it. The code is what customers use, and leaving the address off keeps the stand clean.
Why was my link refused?
We only make a code for a link that opens Google itself: a g.page link, a Google Maps link or a Google search review link. A shortened link from another service could send customers anywhere, so it is refused.
Is my link sent to you?
No. The code and the stand are made in your browser, on your own device. We count how often the tool is used, and that is all.
A stand you can change after printing
Make a free review link with Cardless Reviews. Its code opens your Google review page and counts how many people opened it, and you can change where it goes without printing again. The Review Link is free while we are in pre-release.
