Google review link generator

Get the link that opens your business’s “Write a review” box on Google, and a QR code to print. Paste your Google Maps link or your Place ID. Free, no sign-up, and it runs in your browser: nothing is sent anywhere.

How to get your Google review link

Open Google Maps and search for your business. Click it so its panel opens on the left.
Copy the full address from your browser’s address bar (it starts with https://www.google.com/maps/place/). The Share button gives a short maps.app.goo.gl link instead: open that one in a new tab first and copy the long address it turns into.
Paste it above and press Get review link. The generator reads the place from the link and builds Google’s review URL, https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=…
Test the link, copy it, and download the QR code.

If the generator can’t read your link

Some links don’t carry the place, for example a link with only ?cid= and a number. Use Google’s free Place ID Finder: type your business name in the map’s search box, pick it, and copy the Place ID (it usually starts with ChIJ). Paste that ID here.

If you manage the business on Google, the Business Profile has its own share link too: on Google Search or Maps, open your profile, choose Ask for reviews and copy the link (g.page/r/…). Paste it here to get the QR code.

Where to share it

After the sale or visit: in the thank-you email or SMS, while the experience is fresh.
On paper: the QR code on receipts, table tents, the counter, packaging inserts or business cards.
Online: your website footer, email signature, order confirmation page and social profiles.

Google’s rules apply to every request: no discounts, gifts or payment for reviews, no asking only the customers you expect to be happy, and no reviews written by staff. Breaking them can get reviews removed.

Read every new review in one place

Once the reviews come in, you need to see them. Prisma Reviews gives developers and agencies one API for the reviews of the businesses they manage on 84 platforms: Google reviews are read from Google Maps (read only, with a link to answer each one on Google), next to App Store, Google Play, Trustpilot, Yelp, Tripadvisor and the rest, in one JSON format with a webhook for each new review. Replies through Google Business Profile open once Google approves Prisma’s access. Prisma never writes reviews or replies: no AI.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Google review link?

A link that opens the "Write a review" box of your business on Google directly, with the stars ready to tap. It looks like https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= followed by your Place ID. Customers who click it don’t have to search for your business first, so more of them finish the review.

How do I find my Google Place ID?

Paste your Google Maps link into the generator: in most cases it reads the Place ID from the link itself. If it can’t (short maps.app.goo.gl links, or links with only a cid number), open Google’s Place ID Finder, type your business name, pick it from the list and copy the ID that starts with ChIJ.

Why doesn’t a maps.app.goo.gl link work?

Short links only point to the real address; reading where they lead needs a request to Google that a web page isn’t allowed to make. Open the short link in your browser, wait for Google Maps to load your business, and copy the long address from the address bar. That one works.

Is the generator free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser: it doesn’t call any paid Google API, doesn’t send your link to Prisma and needs no sign-up. The QR code is also drawn in your browser.

Can I use the link in emails, SMS and receipts?

Yes. Put it in follow-up emails, SMS, invoices, receipts, your website or social profiles, and print the QR code on table cards, flyers or packaging. Google only asks that you don’t pay or reward people for reviews and don’t ask only happy customers.

Is it allowed to offer a discount for a Google review?

No. Google’s policy for user contributed content forbids offering money, discounts or free products in exchange for reviews, and it also forbids discouraging negative reviews or asking only selected customers ("review gating"). Ask everyone the same way.

Does the link expire?

No. The Place ID of a business rarely changes; Google recommends refreshing stored Place IDs after a year or so. If the link ever stops opening your business, generate it again.

Does the generator use AI?

No. It reads the link you paste and builds Google’s review URL from it. Nothing is written or guessed for you.
