Frequently asked questions
What exact link does the tool build?
It takes the Place ID you type, trims spaces from both ends, percent-encodes it and appends it to https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=. For the sample ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 the result is https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4. Nothing else is added to the URL.
Does the tool check that my Place ID is valid?
No. It only checks that the box is not empty. It does not look the ID up, confirm that the business exists, or test the format, so a typo still produces a link that looks fine. Always open the generated link once yourself before sending it to customers.
What happens if I paste a Google Maps URL instead of an ID?
The whole URL is treated as the ID and encoded. A pasted address like https://maps.google.com/?cid=123 becomes a long string with %3A and %2F in it, and that link will not point at your business. Copy only the identifier. Characters such as spaces, & and = are encoded (abc def&x=1 becomes abc%20def%26x%3D1), so they cannot break the link’s structure, but they also will not make a wrong ID work.
Where do I get a Place ID?
A Place ID is the identifier Google’s Places API uses for a listing. Google offers a Place ID Finder in its Maps Platform documentation where you search by business name and copy the ID. The example in the input box starts with ChIJ; IDs can differ in length and prefix, and the tool does not enforce any shape.
Does the link shorten itself or create a QR code?
No. The output is a plain long URL in a single result line. You can paste it into any link shortener or QR code maker, and the destination stays the same as long as the shortener redirects faithfully. Test the shortened version before printing or sending it.
Is anything sent to a server when I type?
The link is assembled by the page’s own script from what is in the box, so the string is built on your device. Opening the link itself, of course, loads a Google page.
Can I add a language or tracking parameter?
Not through the tool, which only fills in placeid. If you add extra parameters by hand afterwards, test the link, because this page does not know how the destination treats them.
Building a Google review link from a Place ID
Anatomy of the link
The generated address has three parts. The host and path, search.google.com/local/writereview, are fixed and identical for every business. After the question mark comes a single query parameter named placeid. The only thing that changes between businesses is the value you supply. The tool performs plain string assembly: it does not call any Google service, which is why it cannot tell whether the ID you typed is right.
Worked example: a clean ID
Entering the sample ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 returns https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4. Entering the same ID with spaces before and after it, as often happens when copying from a document, gives the identical link, because the tool trims whitespace first. Letters, digits, hyphens and underscores pass through the encoder untouched.
| What you type | Link returned |
|---|---|
| ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 | …writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 |
| ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 (spaces around) | …writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 |
| abc def&x=1 | …writereview?placeid=abc%20def%26x%3D1 |
| (empty) | Message: Enter your Google Place ID above |
Worked example: a malformed entry
Typing abc def&x=1 does not trigger an error. The space, the ampersand and the equals sign are percent-encoded, giving placeid=abc%20def%26x%3D1. That is a syntactically legal URL but it names no business. The takeaway is that a link that appears is not proof that it works, so click it before you share it. An empty box produces the prompt "Enter your Google Place ID above" instead of a link.
Checking and sharing the link
Open the generated address in a private browser window or on a phone that is signed in to a different account, and confirm it opens the review form for the right business. Once confirmed, the link is an ordinary web address that you can paste into a message, an email signature or a text. A shortener or QR maker can sit on top of it if you need something compact; keep a copy of the original in case you have to regenerate the short version.
What the tool leaves to you
Finding the right Place ID, deciding who receives the link and writing the message are outside the tool. It also does not manage reviews, track who clicked or verify listings. It formats a single URL from one value, and everything it produces can be reproduced by hand: type the fixed prefix, add the Place ID and you have the same link.
