Why a plain Google Maps link is not enough#
A normal Google Maps link opens your profile with photos, opening hours and other people's reviews. The customer still has to find the button for writing a review – and some give up. Every extra step means fewer reviews.
A direct review link opens the star rating form straight away:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ…
The part after placeid= is your Google Place ID.
Free tool: a Google review link in 10 seconds#
Use our free Google review link generator:
- Open your business in Google Maps and tap Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into the converter and click Create review link.
- Copy the direct link or download the QR code as a PNG.
It works with short maps.app.goo.gl links, long browser links and plain Place IDs. No sign-up and no Business Profile access needed.
Use it everywhere – and follow the rules#
Send it after a purchase, by SMS, on receipts, business cards, your website or Instagram bio. Google allows asking for reviews, but never offer rewards, never send the link only to happy customers and never write reviews for them.
The best moment to ask is still on site. A Vincio NFC stand opens the review form when guests tap their phone – no app, no scanning – and you can change the destination any time without reprinting.
