Google Review Link Generator

Generate a direct link for customers to leave Google reviews.

Find your Place ID at Google's Place ID Finder

What it does

This tool turns a Google Place ID into a link that opens the review form for that business. It puts your ID at the end of https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= and shows the result in a read-only box you can copy. It does not look up your business, check that the ID exists, or make a QR code; it only assembles the link, in your browser. Apart from trimming spaces at either end, the ID is used exactly as typed.

How to use it

  1. Open Google's Place ID Finder from the link under the field, search for your business name, and copy the ID it shows. Business IDs usually start with ChIJ.
  2. Paste the ID into the Google Place ID field.
  3. Click Generate Link. Your Google Review Link appears below, with a short list of places to use it.
  4. Click Copy Link.
  5. Open the link in a private browser window to make sure it lands on your business before you share it.

Where the link works best

A direct link removes a couple of searches and clicks for a customer who is willing to leave a review. The tips on the page suggest an email signature, follow-up emails, a QR code at the counter, and your site footer. People need to be signed in to a Google account to post, so the link will ask them to sign in if they are not.

Stay within Google's rules when you ask. Its policies for user contributed content do not allow offering incentives for reviews or asking only the customers you expect to be happy, a practice often called review gating. Send the same link to everyone. Place IDs can change over time, so recheck the link once in a while.
