This Google review link generator turns your Place ID, or the review link from your Business Profile, into a direct link that opens Google's review box for your practice, with a copy button, a test link and a matching QR code. No patient information is entered or stored. Demand is steady: "google review link" gets 8,100 searches a month and "google review link generator" 1,000 in the US (Google Ads Keyword Planner data via DataForSEO, US, 12-month average to Sep 2026), and 720 and 210 in Canada (Google Ads Keyword Planner data via DataForSEO, Canada, 12-month average to Sep 2026).
Get your review link with the Google review link generator
Paste one of these into the box above and press Get my review link:
| What you paste | Where to find it | What you get back |
|---|---|---|
| Your Place ID | Google's Place ID finder (opens in a new tab) | https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid= plus your ID |
| Your Business Profile review link (g.page/r/…) | On a computer: Business Profile, Read reviews, Get more reviews (Google's steps (opens in a new tab)) | The same link, tidied to end in /review |
| A Google address containing "placeid=" | Older review links or print files | A fresh review link built from that ID |
The generator doesn't search Google by name or city, and it can't read short maps.app.goo.gl share links. Copy the result, then click the test link. It should open the review box for your practice, not the general map.
How the link works
A Place ID is Google's unique identifier for your practice in its Places database and on Google Maps. The review link carries that ID, so Google knows which listing's review form to open. Patients must be signed in (opens in a new tab) to a Google Account to post.
Every patient gets the identical link, and nothing in it says who clicked. Keep it that way. One maintenance note: Google says Place IDs may change over time and recommends refreshing any older than 12 months, so re-test the link once a year and after a move. Our explainer on where Google hides the review link walks through the Business Profile screens.
Where to use it: checkout, follow-up messages, website
- Checkout. Turn the link into a printed review QR code for the counter.
- Follow-up messages. Google suggests thank-you emails. Send the link from your own patient-messaging system to every patient after the visit, with generic wording: no treatment, condition or provider details. Medfy doesn't send review requests.
- Website. A "Review us on Google" link in the footer or on the contact page.
Ask everyone the same way. Google's content policy (opens in a new tab) bars businesses from offering incentives or trying to "selectively solicit positive reviews from customers," and the FTC's Q&A on its reviews rule (opens in a new tab) warns that asking only happy customers "could violate the FTC Act." See asking for reviews for wording, and responding to reviews for replies that never confirm someone is a patient.
Short links and tracking without patient data
The long Google link is hard to read aloud and fragile in print. Instead of a third-party shortener, set up a redirect on your own domain:
Illustrative example: yourpractice.com/review forwards to your Google review link. The front-desk card uses yourpractice.com/review?src=card and the thank-you email uses yourpractice.com/review?src=email.
Your own analytics count clicks by source, and if your Place ID changes you fix one redirect instead of reprinting cards. Put tracking tags on your redirect, not on Google's link.
Never add patient identifiers (names, emails, chart or appointment numbers) to any link or tracking tag. URLs pass through browsers, analytics tools and Google, and an identifier in one can reveal who is a patient. Measure success by the monthly count of new reviews instead.
Troubleshooting a link that doesn't open the review box
| What happens | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Opens your place on Google Maps | A Maps share link, or the phone opened it in the Maps app | Regenerate from your Place ID or the Get more reviews link; test on phone and computer |
| Asks the patient to sign in | Google requires a Google Account to post | Expected; mention it in your script |
| Opens the wrong or an old listing | The Place ID belongs to a duplicate profile | Look up the right listing; Google allows one profile per location (opens in a new tab), so remove duplicates |
| The tool can't read your link | A maps.app.goo.gl link, or no place ID in it | Use the Place ID finder or the Get more reviews link |

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Google review link?
On a computer, open your Business Profile, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link Google shows. Or look up your practice on Google's Place ID finder, copy the ID and paste it into the generator above, which builds the direct review link for you. Test it on a phone and a computer before you share it.
Can I shorten my Google review link?
Yes. A redirect on your own website, such as yourpractice.com/review, beats a third-party shortener: patients can read it, you count clicks in your own analytics, and you can repoint it if your Place ID changes. Whatever you use, never add patient names, emails or appointment numbers to the link or its tracking tags.
Why does my review link open Google Maps instead of the review box?
Usually the link is a Maps share link rather than a review link, or the phone opened it in the Google Maps app. Regenerate it from your Place ID or the Get more reviews link and test on both a phone and a computer. If it opens the wrong listing, your Place ID may belong to a duplicate or outdated profile.
