Make a Google review QR code for your front desk in about a minute: paste your practice's Place ID or Google review link into the tool above, then download the code as PNG or SVG or print a 4×6-inch counter card. It runs in your browser, and no patient information is entered or stored. It's the most-searched tool in this set: "google review qr code" gets 2,400 searches a month in the US (Google Ads Keyword Planner data via DataForSEO, US, 12-month average to Sep 2026) and 480 in Canada (Google Ads Keyword Planner data via DataForSEO, Canada, 12-month average to Sep 2026).
Create your Google review QR code
The tool doesn't search Google by practice name. Give it one of these:
- Your review link from Google. On a computer, open your Business Profile, select Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link (Google's steps (opens in a new tab)). A link starting with g.page/r/ works as is.
- Your Place ID. Search for your practice on Google's Place ID finder (opens in a new tab) and copy the ID.
- A Google address containing "placeid=".
Short maps.app.goo.gl share links can't be read, so use option 1 or 2. Add your practice name for the card if you like, press Make my QR code, and click the test link: it should open the review box. Patients must be signed in to a Google Account to post a review.
Google's Business Profile can also save a QR code image, on a computer only. This tool adds an SVG for print and a ready-made card. If you only need the link for emails or your website, use the review link generator; if you can't find either input, see finding your review link.
Where to place it in a practice
Put the code where the visit ends, not where it starts. A patient in the waiting room hasn't been seen yet.
| Spot | Why it works | File |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout counter, facing the patient | They're paying or booking the next visit | 4×6 card in a stand |
| Next-appointment card | It goes home with them | SVG |
| Receipt or visit paperwork | Google suggests receipts and printed material | SVG or PNG |
| Sign by the exit | A reminder for anyone not asked in person | SVG, enlarged |
For a physical therapy or chiropractic clinic with repeat visits, ask once after a meaningful milestone, such as discharge or the end of a treatment plan, rather than at every visit.
Print sizes and formats
- PNG: 320 × 320 pixels. Fine on screens and in documents, and about 1 inch square when printed at 300 dpi.
- SVG: a vector file that stays sharp at any size. Use it for signs, posters and anything going to a print shop.
- Print card / PDF: a 4 × 6-inch card with a 2.6-inch code, your practice name (optional), "How was your visit?" and "Scan to leave us a Google review." Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog for a file, and print at actual size.
Keep the white border around the code, print dark on light, and scan a printed proof from where a patient would stand.
What to say when you hand it over
Use one short script, at the same point in every visit, for every patient.
Illustrative example: "Thanks for coming in today. If you have a minute, we'd appreciate a Google review. Scanning this code takes you straight to the review box."
Avoid "if you had a good experience" (that's screening), any discount or gift, suggesting what to write, and mentioning the patient's treatment where others can hear. When reviews arrive, reply without confirming the reviewer is a patient. Our guide to getting more Google reviews covers timing and follow-up.
Rules: everyone, no incentives, no gating
Google. Its review tips state that "offering incentives, like free or discounted goods or services" for reviews is prohibited (opens in a new tab). Its Maps content policy (opens in a new tab) also bars businesses from trying to "discourage or prohibit negative reviews, or selectively solicit positive reviews from customers."
FTC. The Consumer Reviews and Testimonials rule (16 CFR Part 465), announced August 14, 2024 (opens in a new tab), bans incentives conditioned on a positive or negative sentiment, fake reviews, and suppressing negative reviews through threats or intimidation. The FTC's Q&A (opens in a new tab) says the rule has no specific ban on asking only happy customers, but "this practice could violate the FTC Act," and courts can impose civil penalties for knowing violations.
Google's rules are the stricter of the two, so follow them: ask everyone, reward no one, screen no one. See review gating rules for the details.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Google review QR code free?
Yes. There's no charge, signup or email. The code, the PNG and SVG downloads and the printable counter card are all made in your browser from the Place ID or review link you paste, and nothing is sent to Medfy. Google's own Business Profile can also give you a review QR code from a computer; this tool adds a vector file and the card.
Does the QR code expire?
The code itself never expires: it simply encodes your review link. The link can stop working if Google's identifier for your listing changes. Google says Place IDs may change over time, recommends refreshing ones older than 12 months, and notes a business that closes or moves can lose its ID. Scan your printed code once a year and after any move.
Can we print the QR code on receipts and appointment cards?
Yes. Google itself suggests putting the review link or QR code on receipts and printed material. Use the SVG file for small or professional print jobs so the code stays sharp, keep the white border around it, and test-scan a printed proof. Hand the card to every patient the same way, with no reward attached.
