Boost Your Online Reputation: QR Codes for Reviews
A customer loves your service. They pay, they smile, and they promise to "leave a review later." But let's be honest: later never happens.
It's not that they don't want to support you. It's that the friction is too high. Closing an app, opening a browser, searching for your business, clicking the "Reviews" tab, and finding the "Write a Review" button feels like work.
A Review QR Code eliminates every single step except the last one. It bridges the gap between a happy customer and a 5-star rating.

âś… Do This
- Add a CTA: Don't just print the code. Write "Scan to leave a 5-star review!" above it.
- Incentivize (Carefully): "Scan to review and get 5% off your next visit" is usually safe, but check platform T&Cs.
- Respond: When they leave a review, reply to it. This signals to Google that you are active.
❌ Avoid This
- Don't Buy Reviews: Fake reviews are easily detected and will get your account banned.
- Don't Be Pushy: Ask once, politely. Spamming customers creates negative sentiment.
- Don't Use Tiny Codes: Make sure the QR code is at least 2x2 cm (1 inch) so it scans easily.
