Paste your Place ID

Your business's Google identifier, or a Google link that contains it.

Find your Place ID in 30 seconds

Open Google's Place ID Finder.
Type your business name in the map's search field and select it.
Copy the ID shown, which starts with ChIJ, and paste it above.

Open Google's Place ID Finder

Short links (maps.app.goo.gl, g.page) do not contain this ID. A link containing placeid=… or place_id:… works.

No account required, no call to Google. Your link and QR code are not saved.

Your link and QR code

Paste your Place ID: the review link and its QR code will appear here.

This QR code is static

It will always open the same page. With a Reco.to account, you change its destination without reprinting and you track scans.

Fewer steps, more customers who finish

A customer ready to leave a review gives up quickly if they have to look for your listing. The direct link skips the whole path.

Without a direct link

Open Google or Google Maps
Search for your business and tell it apart from similar names
Find the reviews tab on your listing
Tap “Write a review”

With your link

Scan the QR code or tap the link
The review form opens: all that is left is to rate and write

Your link in three steps

It takes a minute, with no account and nothing to install.

Find your Place ID

With Google's Place ID Finder: type your business name, copy the ID.
Paste it into the generator

The direct review link is built from this ID, along with its QR code.
Copy the link or download the QR code

Test the link, then share it wherever customers see you: counter, receipt, email.

Where to share your review link

The best time to ask for a review is right after the purchase or the service.

At the counter and checkout

A QR code printed near the till, on a table or at reception gets scanned while customers wait.

See the NFC plaques

On the receipt or invoice

Print the QR code at the bottom of the receipt, invoice or delivery note.

In the post-purchase email

Add the link to your confirmation, delivery or job-completed email.

In your email signature

A “Your feedback matters” line with the link, under every message you send.

By text or WhatsApp

After an appointment or a visit, send the link with a thank-you note.

On your website and social profiles

A “Leave a review” button on your site, in your Instagram bio or on your mini-site.

Printed QR code or NFC plaque?

A static QR code is enough to get started. A dynamic QR code or a plaque becomes useful when you want to change the destination or count scans.

Ask for reviews without breaking Google's rules

Google sets rules on how reviews may be requested. Following them protects your listing and the trust of future customers.

Do

Ask all your customers

Happy or not: a varied set of reviews is more credible than a string of perfect ratings.
Ask at the right time

Right after the purchase or the service, while the experience is still fresh.
Reply to reviews

Positive and negative alike: your replies are public and read by future customers.
Make the link easy to find

At the counter, on the receipt, in the confirmation email: where the customer already is.

Avoid

Offering something in return

A discount, a gift or a prize draw entry in exchange for a review: Google forbids it.
Filtering your customers

Sending the link only to happy customers, or asking for a rating before redirecting them to Google, is forbidden.
Writing or buying reviews

Reviews written by you, your family, your staff, or bought: Google can remove them and penalize your listing.

These points follow Google's rules for content posted on Google Maps. They may change: when in doubt, refer to the rules published by Google.

Frequently asked questions

Is the generator really free?

Yes. The link and the QR code are free, with no sign-up and no time limit: they point straight to Google, without going through Reco.to.

What is the Place ID?

It is your business's unique identifier at Google. The direct review link is built from it. You can find it in seconds with Google's Place ID Finder, linked under the generator's field.

I cannot find my business in the Place ID Finder

Try the full address or the exact name shown on Google Maps. Businesses without a public address, which travel to their customers, are sometimes not found this way. In your Google Business Profile, the “Ask for reviews” button gives a short link you can share as is, or turn into a QR code with our generator. Create a QR code from a link

Does the customer need a Google account?

Yes, Google requires customers to be signed in to post a review. The link opens the form directly, or the Google sign-in page if the customer is not signed in.

Can the link or the QR code expire?

No, as long as your Google listing exists. In rare cases Google can change a listing's Place ID, for example after a merge: test your link from time to time.

Can I change this QR code's destination later?

No: a static QR code contains the link itself. To change the destination without reprinting, use a dynamic QR code. Create a Reco.to account

Can I see how many customers scan the QR code?

Not with a static QR code. A dynamic QR code or an NFC plaque linked to Reco.to counts every scan. See the analytics

What size should I print?

Allow at least 2 cm (0.8 in) per side on a receipt, and 3 to 5 cm (1.2 to 2 in) on a counter or a window. For a print shop, send the SVG file: it stays sharp at any size.

What happens to the Place ID I enter?

It is only used to build the link, on our servers, without any call to Google. Neither the Place ID, the link nor the QR code is saved.

A review QR code you stay in control of

With a Reco.to account, the printed QR code stays the same: you change its destination whenever you want and see how many customers scan it. No credit card.
