Google Review QR Code Poster — How to Make, Print and Place It for More Reviews
Step-by-step guide for Indian shops to create a Google review QR code, design a poster customers actually scan, and place it where it gets the most genuine reviews — within Google's rules.

Quick answer
Copy your Google review link from your Business Profile ("Ask for reviews" / "Get more reviews"), turn it into a QR code, and print it on an A5 or A4 poster with a short line like "Liked our service? Scan to review us on Google — takes 30 seconds". Place it where customers wait or pay: the billing counter, table standees, the waiting area and on bills. Ask everyone — not only happy customers — and never offer a reward for reviews.
Quick answer: Copy your Google review link from your Business Profile ("Ask for reviews" / "Get more reviews"), turn it into a QR code, and print it on an A5 or A4 poster with a short line like "Liked our service? Scan to review us on Google — takes 30 seconds". Place it where customers wait or pay: the billing counter, table standees, the waiting area and on bills. Ask everyone — not only happy customers — and never offer a reward for reviews.
A review QR poster is the cheapest marketing tool you will ever buy: one print costs about ₹20, and it keeps working every day. Done right, it can double the number of reviews a busy shop gets each month.
Step 1: Get your review link
- Open Google Maps or Search on the phone with your business account, or go to business.google.com.
- Open your Business Profile.
- Tap Ask for reviews (sometimes called Get more reviews).
- Copy the short link — it usually looks like
g.page/r/…/review.
This link opens the review box directly, so the customer doesn't have to search for you.
Step 2: Make the QR code
- Use any QR generator — Chamko's free QR tool and the Chamko dashboard both make one from your link.
- Download a high-resolution PNG (at least 1000 × 1000 px) so it prints sharp.
- Test it with two different phones before printing.
Step 3: Design a poster people actually scan
What works:
- One clear message, big: "Enjoyed your visit? Review us on Google ⭐"
- Your logo and business name so people know it's yours.
- The QR code large — at least 6 cm wide on A5, 9 cm on A4.
- A short promise: "Takes 30 seconds — thank you!"
- The language your customers speak. Hindi, Gujarati or Tamil text gets noticeably more scans in local markets than English-only.
What to avoid:
- "Give us 5 stars!" — you can ask for a review, not a specific rating.
- "Review us and get 10% off" — incentives break Google's policy.
- Tiny QR codes in a corner, glossy lamination that reflects light, or busy backgrounds.
Step 4: Place it at the moments of happiness
| Business | Best spots |
|---|---|
| Sweet shop / bakery | Billing counter, on the box sticker |
| Restaurant / café | Table tent, with the bill folder |
| Salon / spa | Mirror station, reception after payment |
| Clinic / dentist | Reception, after the consultation |
| Repair / service | On the invoice, sticker on the repaired item |
| Gym / coaching | Notice board, reception, WhatsApp group description |
Step 5: Add a human ask
A poster alone works; a poster plus a sentence works far better. Train staff to say: "If you liked the service, could you scan this and leave a quick review? It really helps us." Then stop — no pressure, no hovering while they type.
Step 6: Follow up on WhatsApp
For service businesses, send the same link on WhatsApp after the job: one polite message, no repeated reminders.
Stay within Google's review policy
- Ask all customers, not only the ones you think are happy ("review gating" is not allowed).
- No discounts, gifts or cashback for reviews.
- Don't let staff write reviews, and don't review your own business.
- Don't set up a "review station" tablet where everyone posts from the same device in the shop.
Measure the result
Note your total review count on the day you put up the poster. Check again after 30 days. Most shops see a clear jump; if not, move the poster closer to the payment moment and make sure staff are asking.
Ready-to-use poster lines in Indian languages
- Hindi: "हमारी सेवा पसंद आई? Google पर रिव्यू दें — सिर्फ़ 30 सेकंड।"
- Gujarati: "અમારી સેવા ગમી? Google પર રિવ્યૂ આપો — ફક્ત 30 સેકન્ડ."
- Marathi: "आमची सेवा आवडली? Google वर रिव्ह्यू द्या — फक्त 30 सेकंद."
- Tamil: "எங்கள் சேவை பிடித்ததா? Google-ல் ரிவ்யூ கொடுங்கள் — 30 வினாடிகள் மட்டுமே."
- English: "Enjoyed your visit? Review us on Google — it takes 30 seconds."
Keep the line short, keep the QR big, and add your logo and business name.
Printing tips
- Print on matte paper or card (300 gsm) — glossy surfaces reflect shop lights and make scanning harder.
- Use an acrylic table tent or standee for counters; it costs little and lasts years.
- Make a smaller sticker version (5 × 5 cm) for boxes, bills and repaired items.
- Replace the poster when it fades or gets torn — a worn poster looks neglected.
Frequently asked questions
Is a Google review QR code free?
Yes. The review link is free from Google, and QR generators (including Chamko's) are free.
Will the QR code stop working?
A QR made from your official review link keeps working as long as your profile exists. Avoid "dynamic" QR services that may expire unless you pay.
Can I put the QR on my bill?
Yes, printing it on bills and invoices is a great idea.
How do I print a ready-made poster?
In the Chamko dashboard, open Reviews → Get more reviews, or the Rank plan → "Print poster". It creates a print-ready A4 poster with your name, logo and QR in your language.
