Google Review Link Setup for Small Businesses

Most customers won't search for your business, scroll, and tap "write a review". Friction kills reviews. A direct link drops them straight onto the review screen — that one change usually makes the biggest difference.

1. 1. Sign in to the Google account that owns your Google Business Profile.
2. 2. Open your business dashboard (search your business name in Google while signed in, or go to Google Business Profile).
3. 3. Find the option to ask for reviews and copy the review link Google generates.
4. 4. Optional but recommended: shorten the link with a free URL shortener so it's easier to share.

• Your email signature.
• A WhatsApp message after a job is complete.
• A printed QR code on your receipt, invoice, or counter.
• A follow-up text or email a day after the service.
• Your Google Business Profile, social bios, and website footer.

• Ask just after a positive interaction, when the experience is fresh.
• Keep the message short and personal, not a marketing blast.
• Make it easy: include the link or QR code directly.
• Never offer discounts, gifts, or incentives in exchange for reviews — Google's policies forbid it.
• Never write fake reviews or ask staff or family to. It risks your profile being suspended.

We set up your Google review link as part of our small business tech setup, alongside your Google Business Profile, enquiry link, and a simple online presence. You get the link, a QR code, and a short guide on how to share it — so collecting honest reviews becomes part of your normal workflow.
