Google Review QR Code Generator

Make a free Google review QR code that takes customers to your review form on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook or Tripadvisor with one scan and one tap. Print it on receipts, table tents and packaging to collect more reviews. The code is dynamic, so you can change where each button points or add a platform later without reprinting.

How it works

Get your review links

Copy the 'write a review' link for each platform you want: your Google review link from your Google Business Profile, your Trustpilot evaluate link, and your Yelp or Facebook page review URLs.

Create your review QR code

In QR Cake, choose the Review type and add a page title and short message. Then pick each platform from the list, paste its review link and mark your main one as primary.

Brand the page and the code

Add your logo, pick the page colors, font and style, then customize the QR code's colors, dots, corner eyes and frame so it matches your brand.

Save, test and download

Save the code to your free account, scan it with an iPhone and an Android phone to check that each button opens the right review form, then download a PNG or SVG for print.

Display it where customers are happy

Put the code where people have a spare moment right after a good experience: the checkout counter, receipts, table tents, packaging or a thank-you card.

Common use cases

Restaurant table tents and bill folders: diners can post a Google review while they wait for the check.

Checkout counters: a small stand-up card lets shoppers leave a review while they wait for their receipt.

Printed receipts: place the code near the total so customers can scan it on the way out or later at home.

Product packaging and thank-you inserts: ask buyers to review your store or your Amazon listing after they unbox the order.

Business cards and brochures: give clients of local and professional services a quick way to review you after a meeting.

Service invoices and appointment cards: tradespeople, clinics and salons collect reviews once the job is done.

Event signage and exhibitor stands: a large code lets visitors review you on the spot.

Multi-location businesses: give each branch its own code pointing to that branch's Google profile, and compare scans per branch on Pro or Business.

Industries that use it

RESTAURANTS & CAFÉS

Print the code on table tents, the bill folder or the receipt so diners can post a Google review before they get up from the table.

RETAIL & SERVICES

Put it by the register, on the shopping bag or on a thank-you card so shoppers and clients can review you while the visit is fresh.

HOTELS & ACCOMMODATION

Place it on the in-room welcome card, the front desk or the key-card sleeve to turn great stays into Tripadvisor and Google reviews.

LOCAL TRADES & HEALTHCARE

Print it on invoices and appointment cards, or put it on the van, so customers and patients can leave a review once the job or visit is done.

EVENTS & STANDS

Show a large code on a banner or signage so attendees can rate the session or exhibitor on the spot.

E-COMMERCE & APPS

Add the code to packaging inserts and printed guides to send buyers to your Amazon review page and app users to the App Store or Google Play.

What it is

Without a code, a customer who wants to review you has to open Google Maps or a review site, search for your business, pick the right listing and find the review button. A review QR code cuts that to one scan and one tap while the visit is still fresh. The page shows your logo, a row of five stars and one button per platform, and you can mark your main platform as primary so its button is filled in while the others are outlined.

Every saved QR Cake code is dynamic, so the printed code keeps working as your business changes. If you move, add Trustpilot next to Google or spot a wrong link, edit the page in your dashboard and the next scan shows the update. On the Pro and Business plans, scan analytics show how often each code is scanned, so a separate code per placement tells you whether the counter, the receipt or the packaging gets more scans.

The one rule to follow: ask every customer the same way, with no reward for a positive review and no filtering of who gets asked. 'Review gating', which sends happy customers to public review sites and unhappy ones to a private form, is against Google's and Trustpilot's review policies, and the FTC warns businesses against it. QR Cake review pages have no gating option, so everyone who scans sees the same buttons.

Best practices

Add a short, neutral call to action such as 'Scan to leave a review' next to the code or in one of QR Cake's frames. Don't steer people toward a positive rating.
Print the code at least 0.8 inches (2 cm) wide on receipts and table cards. For wall signs, make it about a tenth as wide as the distance people will scan from.
Put your most important platform (often Google) first and mark it as primary so its button stands out, but keep the others for customers who prefer another site.
Save the code to your account before printing. Saved QR Cake codes are dynamic, so you can add a platform or fix a wrong link later without reprinting.
Test every button on both iPhone and Android before printing, and download an SVG for anything larger than a flyer.
Don't offer a discount or gift in exchange for a review, and don't pick and choose who you ask. Google's review policy forbids both.

Limitations to know before you print

QR Cake doesn't look up your review links. You copy each one from your Google Business Profile or other review account and paste it in.
Each review site sets its own rules for asking. Yelp, for example, asks businesses not to request reviews at all, so check a platform's guidelines before you add its button.
QR Cake doesn't support review gating (sending unhappy customers to a private form instead of a public review site). Google and Trustpilot forbid it, and the FTC warns against it.
On the free plan, each scan shows a short QR Cake ad page with a few-second countdown before your review page opens. Paid plans remove it.
Some links can't open a review form directly. A Google Play link opens the app's store listing, where the customer taps the stars to rate it.

What it is

A review QR code is a QR code that opens a page of buttons linking to your review profiles on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook and other sites. Instead of searching for your business, the customer scans, taps a platform and lands on its 'write a review' screen. QR Cake hosts that page with your logo, title and colors, and because the code is dynamic, you can change the links, add platforms or restyle the page without reprinting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a QR code for Google reviews?+

Paste your Google review link into a Google button on a QR Cake Review code, then save and download the code. To find the link, open your Google Business Profile and use the 'Ask for reviews' option. When someone scans the code, your review page opens and the Google button takes them to your Google review form.

Is the review QR code generator free?+

Yes. QR Cake's free plan covers up to 5 dynamic QR codes, review codes included, with unlimited scans and no credit card. On the free plan, each scan first shows a short ad page with a few-second countdown. Paid plans from $2.99 a month remove it, and scan analytics come with Pro and Business.

Can I collect reviews on Trustpilot, Yelp and Facebook too, not just Google?+

Yes. A QR Cake review page can have buttons for Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Amazon, the App Store and Google Play, plus an 'Other' option for any other review link. Customers choose which site to review you on.

Can I track how many people scan my review QR code?+

Yes, on the Pro and Business plans. QR Cake's scan analytics show total scans, scans by hour or day, country, device, operating system and browser, plus a live feed of new scans. Make one code per location or placement to compare them. Analytics count scans, not the reviews people go on to post.

Can I change the review links without reprinting the code?+

Yes. Once the code is saved to your QR Cake account, you can edit the review links, add or remove platforms and restyle the page from your dashboard. The printed code stays the same and shows the new version on the next scan.

Does a review QR code expire?+

No. QR Cake codes have no expiry date, including on the free plan. A saved review code keeps working as long as your account exists, and you can update its links whenever your review profiles change.

Is it against the rules to ask for reviews with a QR code?+

No, as long as you ask every customer the same way and don't reward positive reviews. Google bans 'review gating' (sending only happy customers to public review sites) and incentives for reviews, and the FTC's consumer review rule bans rewards tied to positive reviews. Yelp goes further and asks businesses not to request reviews at all. QR Cake review pages show everyone the same buttons.

Where is the best place to put a review QR code?+

Wherever customers are most satisfied and have a moment: the checkout counter, the receipt, a restaurant table tent, product packaging, a thank-you card or a service invoice. Add a short 'Scan to leave a review' prompt next to it.
