Sending a customer to your Google listing is not enough: they land on a page where the review button hides under the photos and the opening hours. The write-review link opens the rating form on top of the map, five stars already showing. It is the address to put in an SMS or on a receipt, and the one Google promotes nowhere in its own interface. The QR code for the same link is generated below, for the counter.
How to use it
How it works
Get your Place ID
It is the identifier Google gives your business. The link to the official Place ID Finder sits under the field, and it shows the identifier when you click a point on the map.
The link is built
The tool assembles the review form address around your identifier. No redirect, no shortener, the link points at Google's own domain.
Copy it or print it
The link goes in an SMS, an email or a website button. The QR code under the field encodes the same link, in vector SVG, for the stand on your counter.
Worth knowing
Four things to keep in mind
A Place ID is not the listing name
Two businesses in the same town can share a name. The Place ID is unique and usually starts with ChIJ. It is the only identifier a reliable link can be built on.
Test the link before you share it
Open it in a private window: if you are signed in to your business Google account, the view differs from what a customer sees. A wrong Place ID sends your reviews to someone else.
Do not shorten it with a third-party service
A bit.ly link inside an SMS trips carrier spam filters and tanks deliverability. If you must shorten, do it on your own domain.
The link never changes
The Place ID stays the same when you edit your hours, your description or your photos. You can print it on something durable without worrying that it will expire.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Google publishes an official tool, the Place ID Finder, which shows the identifier when you click a point on the map. The link sits under the input field. It also appears in the long URL of your listing, after the place_id parameter.
Yes, writing a review means being signed in to a Google account. The link goes straight to the sign-in screen if they are not, then to the form once they are authenticated.
Screening customers by the rating they are about to leave is against Google's policies and can get your reviews removed. The link has to go to everyone the same way.
The listing link opens a page where the review form takes two more clicks and a scroll. On mobile, every lost step costs a meaningful share of the reviews you would have had.
