Want a branded counter card with the QR, your logo, your customer-facing review page, and the consent copy already wired in? That's what PublishMyReviews actually does — see the demo.
How it works
Three steps. About 90 seconds.
Paste it above
Drop the Place ID into the input. The link, QR code, and shareable WhatsApp / SMS messages render immediately — no signup, no email.
Print or share
Download the QR as a PNG for counter cards, or copy the WhatsApp message to send to customers after a service. Ask once, ask kindly.
Honest review play
A link is a great start. The testimonial is the real win.
A Google review link gets you Google reviews. That's necessary, not sufficient. Most of what makes a small business stand out online is the testimonial, photo, and consent that the customer would happily share — but only if you ask in the same moment as the Google ask. That's what PublishMyReviews adds: a 30-second customer page in front of the Google handoff, so you keep the testimonial AND the customer continues to Google themselves.
We don't ship review gating. The same QR shows the same Google option to every customer.
FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
What is a Place ID and where do I find it?
A Place ID is Google's stable identifier for a place — a business, address, or landmark on Google Maps. Open Google's free Place ID Finder, search for your business name + city, click the result, and copy the Place ID shown in the info card. It looks like 'ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4'.
Will this link work on customers' phones?
Yes. The generated link uses Google's official write-review URL pattern (search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=...). On Android with Google Maps installed, the link opens the Maps app directly to your review form. On iPhone or desktop, it opens the in-browser review form on google.com.
Is generating a Google review link allowed by Google?
Yes — Google publishes a 'short URL' option for review links inside Google Business Profile itself, and the underlying write-review URL pattern is public. What is NOT allowed is review gating (filtering negative reviews away from Google) or offering incentives in exchange for reviews. We support neither and recommend you don't either.
Why is the QR code not branded?
A plain black-and-white QR scans more reliably across phone cameras, distance, and print quality than a styled one. If you want a branded QR card with your logo, your customer-facing page, and the consent copy already wired in, that is what PublishMyReviews actually does — see the demo.
Do you store the Place IDs people enter?
No. The link and QR are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a PublishMyReviews server. You can verify by disconnecting from the internet — the tool still works.
Can a Google review link replace a proper review platform?
It depends on what you need. If you only want customers to leave Google reviews, a link + QR is enough. If you also want to capture the testimonial, photo, and consent (so you can publish approved feedback to Instagram or WhatsApp), a link is not enough — you need a customer-facing page in front of the Google handoff, which is what PublishMyReviews provides.
