How to find your Place ID
- Open Google's Place ID Finder (the map tool on Google Maps Platform documentation).
- Type your business name and address into the search box on that map.
- Click your business pin. Google shows the Place ID in the info window. It usually starts with
ChIJ. - Copy that exact string and paste it into the field above.
No live profile yet, or not sure which prompts your customers use to find you? The keyword to prompt converter helps you map search terms to the questions buyers actually ask AI engines.
How to use it
- Find your Place ID. Use the expandable helper above, or Google's Place ID Finder, to copy the string that identifies your business on Google Maps.
- Paste and generate. Drop the Place ID into the field and select Generate review link. The tool builds the direct write-a-review URL in your browser.
- Copy or scan. Use the Copy link button to grab the URL for email signatures, receipts, or your website, or save the QR code for print.
- Share it where customers already are. Add the link to a follow-up text, a thank-you email, or a counter card so a happy customer can leave a review without hunting for the form.
Why it matters for AI search
Reviews are not only a trust signal for shoppers. They are a grounding signal for the AI engines that now answer "who is the best [trade] near me" without showing a page of links. Formative Digital's May 2026 analysis of 1,732 AI-engine citations across nine Ontario cities found that ChatGPT grounds its local recommendations heavily on google.com sources, Maps and the Knowledge Graph included. A Google Business Profile with steady, recent, genuine reviews feeds exactly that surface.
This is Vector 10 (Localize) in our 12 Vectors methodology: tightening the local signals, NAP, review flow, and local schema, that decide whether an engine surfaces you for a geo-modified query. The link does not buy reviews or invent them. It removes the friction between a customer who wants to leave a review and the form where they leave it. The honest version of review growth is making the real ask easy, then earning the rating.
The link removes the friction. We build the rest of the local signal.
A one-tap review link lifts your review rate, and that is a real, useful start. Turning a stronger review profile into citations inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews is the deeper work: review monitoring, response cadence, local schema, and NAP consistency across the directories these engines read. That is our review management service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Google review link generator?
A Google review link generator turns your Google Place ID into a direct write-a-review URL that opens the review form straight away, instead of forcing a customer to find your business profile and scroll to the review button. This tool builds that link in your browser from the Place ID you paste and shows you a preview that it is ready, then reveals the full clickable link, a copy button, and a QR code once you enter your details. The link itself is assembled with plain JavaScript on the page; the only thing sent is the capture form you choose to submit.
How do I find my Google Place ID?
Open Google's Place ID Finder, search for your business name and address, and copy the Place ID string it shows on the map pin. It usually starts with ChIJ and is a mix of letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. You can also pull it from the Google Business Profile API or a Google Maps share URL. Paste that exact string into the field above and the tool builds the review link for you.
Is the review link from this tool safe and official?
Yes. The link points to search.google.com/local/writereview, which is Google's own review endpoint, with your Place ID passed as a parameter. The tool does not add tracking, shorten the URL, or route through any third party. The QR image is rendered by the public QRServer API using the same link, so the code resolves to the identical Google review form.
Why does asking for reviews this way help my AI search visibility?
Review volume, recency, and rating are signals that several AI engines lean on when they recommend a local business. Formative Digital's May 2026 analysis of 1,732 AI-engine citations across nine Ontario cities found that ChatGPT grounds its local answers heavily on google.com sources, including Maps and the Knowledge Graph. A steady flow of genuine Google reviews strengthens that profile, which is part of Vector 10 (Localize) in our methodology. The link does not buy or fake reviews; it just removes friction from a real customer leaving a real one.
Can I put the review QR code on print materials?
Yes. The QR code is a standard image you can save and place on receipts, table tents, business cards, packaging, or a counter card. When a customer scans it, their phone opens the Google review form for your business directly. For print, generate the code, download it, and ask your designer to size it at least 2 centimetres square so phone cameras read it reliably.
