How to get your Google review link, and turn it into a QR code
Customers who'd happily leave a review often don't, because finding your shop on Google and the review button takes too many taps. Your review link skips all of that: one tap and the review box for your shop opens. Here's how to get it, and how to put it on WhatsApp and on your counter.
Step by step
- 1
Open your Google Business Profile
Search your shop's name on Google while signed in with the account that manages it, or open the Google Maps app, tap your profile picture and choose your business. You need to be an owner or manager of the listing.
- 2
Find "Ask for reviews"
On the profile, look for "Ask for reviews" (or "Get more reviews" / "Share review form"). Google moves this button around, but it's on the main profile screen.
- 3
Copy the link
It looks like g.page/r/… followed by /review. Copy it and open it once yourself: it should open the star-rating box for your shop.
- 4
Send it on WhatsApp with the customer's name
"Hi Priya, thank you for coming in today! If you liked it, a quick Google review would really help us: <link>". Personal messages get far more reviews than a broadcast.
- 5
Make a QR code for the counter
Turn the same link into a QR code and print it on a small card with your shop's name, five stars and "Scan to review us on Google". Put it where people pay.
- 6
Reply to every review
Thank people by name; answer a bad one calmly and offer to sort it out. Replies show future customers you care.

WhatsApp review ask (Hindi)

Get these right
- Ask right after a good moment, not days later.
- Never offer discounts or gifts in return for reviews, and never buy them. It breaks Google's rules and can get reviews removed.
- Don't ask only happy customers through a filter; ask everyone, and fix what the unhappy ones say.
- Put the link in your WhatsApp Business greeting and your bills, not just the counter.

Questions
Where do I find my Google review link?
In your Google Business Profile, under "Ask for reviews" (sometimes "Get more reviews"). You need to manage the listing to see it.
Is a Google review QR code free?
Yes. The link is free from Google, and any QR maker can turn it into a code. BridgeAux's Starter plan makes a printable card with your shop's name for you.
Can I ask customers for reviews on WhatsApp?
Yes. A personal message with the link is allowed and works well. What's not allowed is paying, rewarding or pressuring people for reviews.
Why don't I see "Ask for reviews"?
Usually because the account you're signed in with doesn't manage the listing, or the listing isn't verified yet. Claim or verify it first.
