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.

Review Submitted

Why Reviews Are Non-Negotiable

93%

of consumers say online reviews influence their purchase decisions. It's the #1 factor for trust.

3.3

is the minimum star rating consumers will even consider. Below that, you are invisible.

SEO

Google Maps ranks active profiles higher. Volume and recency of reviews are massive ranking signals.

10x

Reviews are 10x more trusted than manufacturer descriptions. Social proof is the new currency.

The "Big Three" Platforms

G

Google Business Profile

Best for: Local SEO, Restaurants, Retail, Services. This is your digital storefront. If you only focus on one, this is it.

Pro Tip: Don't just link to your profile. Use the generated "Ask for reviews" link from your GMB dashboard to open the review modal directly.

Trustpilot

Best for: E-commerce, SaaS, Online Services. It signals global trust.

Yelp

Best for: Food & Beverage, Hospitality (especially in the US).

Where to Place Your Review QR

The goal is to catch the customer during a "moment of delight."

On the Table Tent

For restaurants: "While you wait for the check, tell us how we did." This captures them before they leave.

Product Packaging / Insert

For Ecommerce: An aesthetically pleasing card inside the box that says "Love your order? Let us know."

Business Cards

For contractors/agents: Hand the client a card after a job well done. "Scan this to review my work on Google."

Digital Receipts

A footer in your email receipt. It's passive but captures users when they are checking their finances.

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.

How to Create a Review QR Code in 3 Steps

1. Get your Link

Go to your Google Business Profile (phone or desktop) → Ask for Reviews → Copy Link.

2. Paste it in QR-Verse

Select "URL" or "Review" (if available) on our generator. Paste the link. Choosing a dynamic code is smart so you can update the link later if your profile URL changes.

3. Print & Deploy

Download the high-quality SVG/PNG. Add your CTA: "Scan for Good Karma." Place it where eyes go.
