Free tool
The single biggest reason customers do not leave reviews is friction. This tool builds the direct link that opens Google’s review box in one tap — plus a QR code you can print for the counter, invoices or van — from your Google Place ID.
At a glance
Every tool on this site states its scope in the same six lines, so you know what a result means before you act on it.
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJEXAMPLEPLACEIDThe link opens the Google review form for the business directly, with no search step in between; the tool also draws it as a QR code for the reception desk or an appointment card. The Place ID here is a placeholder. Ask for reviews after a good visit and ask everyone the same way; offering anything in return, or filtering who you ask by how happy they are, is against Google's policy and, since 2025, UK consumer law.
Meadowbank Dental is a fictional practice written for these examples: the result above is what this tool’s code produces on that page, regenerated whenever the site is built, and is not a real business’s data.
How it works
Read this before you act on a result. Every tool here states its method and its limits in the same breath.
Open Google’s Place ID finder (search "Google Place ID finder" — it is on developers.google.com), type your business name as it appears on Maps, and copy the ID that appears (it looks like ChIJ…). That ID is stable, public and safe to use.
Alternative: in your Google Business Profile dashboard, "Ask for reviews" gives you a short share link directly — paste that here instead and we will build the QR code for it.
Ask at the moment of satisfaction: when the customer says thank you, when the job is signed off, when the result is visible. Send the link the same day by text or WhatsApp — response rates fall by the day. And reply to every review you receive; future customers read your replies as closely as the reviews themselves.
Never offer incentives for reviews or ask only happy customers ("review gating") — both violate Google’s policies and UK consumer-protection rules on fake and misleading reviews.
Questions
They need a Google account to leave a Google review — the link takes them straight to the review box, and Google handles sign-in if needed. For customers without one, a Facebook recommendation is the usual alternative.

Each one measures rather than guesses, works without an account, and says so when something cannot be measured.
Your Google rating is simple arithmetic — which means you can calculate exactly what it takes to move it.

Without tagging, much of your Google Business Profile traffic hides inside "direct" or generic "google / organic" in analytics — so you never learn what your profile actually produces.
The link removes the friction. The other half of the job is a website that converts the trust those reviews build — and that is what we check.
