Free Google reviews QR code generator
The easiest review you'll ever get is the one a customer leaves before they've left the table. A QR code on the counter, the receipt or the table tent turns a happy moment into a posted review — no app, no searching, just scan and rate.
A Google review QR code links straight to your review form, so a customer can scan it and leave a review in seconds. Enter your business, download the QR code free, and print it on receipts, table tents, cards or signage where customers are happiest.
What is a Google review QR code?
A Google review QR code is a scannable square that links straight to your business's Google review form. A customer points their phone camera at it, taps the prompt, and lands on the star selector — no app to download, no searching. Under the hood it encodes your direct review link, which is tied to your Google Place ID, so every scan reaches the correct profile. Generate yours below free, print it where the experience peaks, and pair it with the review link generator for the digital channels.
Where to place your QR code
A QR code only earns reviews if customers see it at the right moment. Put it where the experience just peaked:
- At the point of sale — counter, card reader, checkout.
- On the table — table tents and menus for restaurants and cafés.
- On the receipt or invoice — they're already looking at it.
- By the exit — a window sticker or a "thanks, how did we do?" sign.
- On packaging — for takeout, retail and deliveries.
Print ideas: receipts, tables, cards
A few formats that work hard for almost any local business:
- Table tents — a small standing card: "Loved it? Scan to leave a Google review."
- Counter cards — at eye level where people wait to pay.
- Receipt footers — print the QR under the total.
- Loyalty and thank-you cards — hand one over with the bag or bill.
- Service vans and signage — for trades and mobile businesses.
Pair the QR with one clear line of text and an arrow. Don't over-design it.
QR code best practices
- Add a short call to action. "Scan to review us on Google" beats a bare code.
- Keep it big enough. Aim for at least 2 × 2 cm / 1 × 1 inch printed; bigger for signage scanned from a distance.
- Test before you print with a couple of different phones.
- Keep contrast high — dark code on a light background. Avoid printing it over busy images.
- Don't gate it. Send everyone to the same review form, not a "rate us 1–5 first" filter — review gating violates Google and FTC policy.
