How to use this calculator

  1. 1

    Get your review link: in your Google Business Profile use the “Get more reviews” option, or open your place in Google Maps, choose Share and copy the link.

  2. 2

    Paste the link into the URL field. The card previews as soon as the link is recognised; otherwise an error message appears under the field.

  3. 3

    Enter your business name, add a logo if you like, and edit the headline (up to 80 characters).

  4. 4

    Download the PNG card, then scan the printed or on-screen result with a phone and confirm it opens the review page for the right business.

Frequently asked questions

Which links does the tool accept?

A link containing placeid=, a g.page/r/…/review link, a Google Maps place link that contains an ID beginning ChIJ after !1s, a bare Place ID beginning ChIJ, a maps.app.goo.gl short link, or any other address starting with http:// or https://. Plain text such as a business name is rejected with an error message.

What does a Place ID or Maps place link turn into?

It becomes https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=<ID>. For instance, the ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 produces https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4.

Which links are left exactly as pasted?

g.page review links, maps.app.goo.gl short links and any other http or https link go into the QR code unchanged. The tool does not follow short links, so it cannot tell whether they lead to a review form or just to the place page.

What is on the downloaded card?

A white card 480 pixels wide with the Google “G”, five gold stars, your headline, the line “Review us on Google”, the QR code, “Scan to share your experience”, your business name (first 50 characters), an optional logo, a small “Powered by Utinzo.com” line and a coloured stripe along the bottom. The file is named google-review-qr- plus your business name.

Does the tool check that the review link works?

No. It only recognises the shape of the text. A mistyped ID or a link to the wrong business still produces a card. Open the link in a browser and scan the finished card before printing many copies.

How robust is the QR code on the card?

It is generated at error-correction level H, which can recover roughly 30% of damaged modules, in dark grey on white. Do not recolour or crop it, and keep it clear of other graphics when you place the card in a layout.

Can I print it at a large size?

The PNG is 480 pixels wide, with the code itself about 200 pixels inside it. That suits cards, table tents and receipts. Enlarged to a poster, edges will soften, so test a print at the final size before committing.

Google review QR cards: what the link and the card contain

Which pasted links the tool recognises

Unlike the plain QR tools, this one takes a pasted Google link and decides what to do with it. A Place ID is converted into a write-a-review address, while links that already point somewhere are kept as they are. The table lists each case in the order the tool checks it.

How each kind of input is handled
What you pasteWhat goes into the QR code
Link containing placeid=…https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=… with that ID
g.page/r/…/review linkThe same link
Maps place link containing !1sChIJ…writereview address built from that ChIJ ID
Bare ID starting ChIJwritereview address built from the ID
maps.app.goo.gl short linkThe same link
Any other http(s) linkThe same link
Anything elseNothing; an error message is shown

Worked examples

These results came from running the tool’s own link-recognition code. Pasting the bare ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 yields https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4. Pasting a long Maps address that includes !1sChIJabc123XYZ in its data section yields https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJabc123XYZ. Pasting https://g.page/r/CabC_dEf-GhI/review leaves it unchanged, and so does https://maps.app.goo.gl/abc123. Typing my cafe, which is not a link, produces no card and shows the “couldn’t recognise” message.

Getting the right link

The most reliable source is the link Google gives you for your own listing: the review link from your Business Profile, or the Share link from Maps. Either is a good thing to paste. Because the tool does not open short links, prefer one that you have tested yourself. If a result opens the place page instead of a review form, replace it with a link that reaches the form.

Making the card readable

The headline defaults to “Your opinion matters!” and wraps to as many lines as it needs within 80 characters. Shorter wording prints larger and reads faster. A logo, if you add one, is scaled to fit 52 pixels tall or 45% of the card’s width, whichever is smaller. The business name sits below, so the person holding the card knows which place they would be reviewing.

Where printed cards are used

Receipts, table tents, packaging inserts, counter stands and thank-you emails are common homes for a review card, because the person is already holding or looking at something from your business. Pair it with a short spoken or written request, and test the finished card on both an iPhone and an Android phone. Print one copy first and scan it at the distance a customer would stand. If you plan to offer anything in return for reviews, read Google’s current review guidelines first.
