Google Review Link Generator

Most customers who are willing to leave a review give up somewhere between “search for the business”, “find the right branch” and “find the review button”. A direct link removes all three steps. It points to Google's review address with your listing's Place ID attached:

https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ…

Opened on a phone or a computer, the link shows your business with the star rating and text box already open. The customer signs in with their own Google account, chooses the stars, writes a few words and posts. Nothing else to find.

The generator above builds the link from your Place ID. It runs in your browser, does not need an account, and the link it produces is permanent — it does not route through any short-link service that could expire.

1. Open Google's official Place ID Finder (it is part of the Google Maps Platform documentation and free to use).
2. Type your business name — add the street or town if there are several branches — in the search box on the map.
3. Select your listing. A pop-up shows the name, address and the Place ID, a string that usually starts with ChIJ.
4. Copy the ID, paste it into the generator, and press Test the link to make sure the right listing opens.

If your business is not found, check that the Google Business Profile is verified and published.

Alternative: Google Business Profile also offers an “Ask for reviews” button that gives you a short share link. It does the same job. If you prefer it, paste it into our Google review QR code generator to get a printable code.

• After-visit emails and text messages. The moment right after a visit, a delivery or a resolved support case is when people remember the details. Add one line with the link, the same for every customer.
• E-receipts and order confirmations. A short “How did we do? Review us on Google” line under the order summary.
• Email signatures. For front-line teams — advisers, account managers, clinic receptionists — a link in the signature asks quietly in every conversation.
• Your website. A “Review us on Google” link on the contact page or in the footer, especially for each branch page if you have several locations.
• Printed material, via QR. A link cannot be clicked on paper, so the same tool gives you a QR code for counters, receipts, table tents and room cards.

For several locations, create one link per branch. Each branch has its own Place ID, and a shared link would send every review to one listing.

Sending a review link is fine — Google encourages businesses to ask. The limits are about selection and reward. Google Maps' policy on fake engagement prohibits review gating (selectively asking only satisfied customers, for example sending the link only to people who rated you highly in your own survey), discouraging negative reviews, offering incentives such as discounts or prize draws in exchange for reviews, and reviews written by owners or employees about their own business.

In practice that means one message, sent to every customer in the same flow, with no conditions and no reward attached. If you also run a private satisfaction survey, keep the two independent: the survey tells you what to fix; the review link goes to everyone regardless of their answer.

More reviews also means more replies to write and more complaints to follow up. Qmeter's Google review management connects your Google Business Profile once and brings every location's reviews into one workspace. AI drafts replies in five tones, foreign-language reviews are translated inline, and every review of 3 stars or below automatically opens a ticket with an owner and an SLA timer in Qmeter's ticketing. Average rating, total reviews, reply rate and response time are tracked per location.

The same platform collects private feedback through kiosks, QR codes, SMS, email and web links, with real-time alerts when a score drops — so you hear about a problem before it becomes a public one-star review. See how it closes the loop in our guide to closed-loop feedback.
