What Code Do I Need for My Product? (Customer Decision Guide)
Choosing the right barcode format depends on where your product is sold, the packaging substrate, and scanner infrastructure:
Should I use a shortlink or Google Place ID?
Both work seamlessly. If you have your 'g.page' review link from Google Business Profile, paste it directly. If you have a Google Place ID (ChIJ...), our compiler formats it into the direct 'writereview' endpoint automatically.
Where is the best physical location to place review QR codes?
Counter checkout areas, receipt footers, dining table tents, and exit doors achieve the highest review conversion rates immediately after a positive service experience.
Google Business Profile Review Policy Compliance
- Google strictly prohibits 'review gating' (filtering negative reviews by sending dissatisfied customers to a private form while directing positive customers to Google).
- Do not offer monetary incentives, discounts, or gifts in exchange for reviews, as this violates Google Maps Contributor guidelines and FTC endorsement guides.
- Ensure all reviews are genuine and left by authentic customers using their personal Google accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Google Review QR code take customers directly to the review form?

How do I find my business Google Review link or Place ID?
Open Google Search, search for your business name (while logged into your Google Business Profile account), click "Ask for reviews", and copy the review link. Alternatively, paste your Google Maps business link into our wizard and we format it automatically.
