1) What is a Google review link?

Your Google review link is a special URL that opens the “Write a review” box for your business on Google.
Sharing this link makes it simple for customers to leave a rating and a short note. Simple link = more reviews.

2) How to get your Google review link (3 quick ways)

Method A — Google Search (fastest)

1. Log in to the Google account that manages your Google Business Profile.

2. In Google, type your business name.

3. In the “Your business on Google” panel, click Ask for reviews.

4. Click Copy link.

That’s your share review link on Google. It opens directly to the review form.

Method B — Google Maps (desktop or app)

1. Open Google Maps and make sure you’re signed in as the owner/manager.

2. Search your business and open the profile.

3. Tap Promote → Ask for reviews → Copy link.
   (Some accounts show “Get more reviews.” It’s the same thing.)

Method C — Can’t see the button?

• Make sure your account is listed as an Owner or Manager of the profile.

• If you’re staff, ask the owner to send you the link once from Method A.

Pro tip: Keep this link saved in Notes, your email signature, your booking system, and your POS receipts so you can paste it fast.

3) How to share your Google review link everywhere

Use the same link in many spots so customers always see a simple path to review you.

Top places to share your Google review link

• Text message right after the visit

• Email follow-up / receipts

• Website: header, footer, “Reviews” page, and thank-you page

• Social media: Instagram bio / Link-in-bio, Facebook “About,” pinned post

• Printed: QR on flyers, menus, table tents, business cards

• Front desk: NFC/QR tap-to-review card

• Booking flows: confirmation and reminder messages

• Wi-Fi splash page or TV signage in your lobby

5) Add a QR or NFC card for walk-ins

Not every customer will open a text or email. A QR/NFC card on your counter lets people leave a review with one tap or scan.

• Place cards at checkout and waiting areas.

• Use large, clear text: “Leave us a Google review.”

• Add a tiny line: “It takes 30 seconds. Thank you!”

(We make tap-to-review NFC cards that open your Google review link instantly. If you want one, we can set it up for you.)

6) Best practices & common mistakes

Do this

• Ask when the customer is happiest (right after service).

• Keep the ask short and friendly.

• Reply to every review (good or bad).

• Track how many asks → how many reviews.

Avoid this

• Don’t offer discounts, gifts, or rewards in exchange for reviews.

• Don’t ask only happy customers. Ask fairly and often.

• Don’t send a long message. Short wins.

7) Troubleshooting

• I can’t find “Ask for reviews.”
  You might not be the profile owner/manager. Ask the owner to add your email.

• Customers say the link doesn’t work.
  Test the link in a private/incognito window. If it opens your profile but not the review box, re-copy it using the steps above.

• The name or address is wrong.
  Update your Google Business Profile first, then share the link again.
