More, and fresher, reviews also get you found
When someone searches “plumber near me”, Google picks the few businesses to show on the map. Its own guidance says review count and star rating are part of how it ranks them. A steady flow of recent reviews tends to put you above a business with a handful from two years ago.
A link makes it easy for a customer to leave a review. Goodshout asks every customer for you, right after the job, so the reviews keep coming without you having to remember.
What Goodshout adds to your link

How to use your link
- 1. Find your business. Type your name and suburb, and pick yours from the list.
- 2. Copy the link or download the QR. Open the link on your phone first, to see exactly what customers see.
- 3. Put it where customers are. Text it after a job, add it to invoices and emails, and print the QR for the counter, the table or the van.
How to find your Google review link yourself
The tool above does this for you, but here is how it works if you would like to do it by hand.
- From your Business Profile. Search your business name on Google while signed in to the account that manages it, then tap Ask for reviews. Google gives you a short link to copy.
- Using your Place ID. Your Place ID is the code Google gives your listing. A review link is Google’s write-a-review page followed by
?placeid=and your Place ID. That is the kind of link this tool makes. - Test it before you share it. Open the link on your phone. It should open Google’s review box for your business, after a sign-in if you are not already signed in.
More detail in our guide to getting your Google review link.
If your link is not working
- It opens a search page, not the review box. The link is probably missing the
?placeid=part, or it was cut when you copied it. Copy it again in full. - It opens the wrong business. Two listings can have similar names. Search again with your suburb or town and pick the one with your address.
- I can’t find my business in the list. Only businesses with a Google Business Profile appear. Try your name with your suburb. If you do not have a profile yet, you need one to collect Google reviews, and our setup service can create it.
- Customers say their review has not appeared. New reviews can take a little while to show, and some are held for checks. See why a Google review is not showing.
Using your QR code
- Print it big enough. At least 3 cm wide, so phones scan it easily. Bigger is better for signs and posters.
- Keep it clear. Dark code on a light background, with the white border left around it. Do not stretch it or put it on a busy picture.
- Test it on two phones before you print a lot of copies.
- Put it where people wait. The counter, the table, the mirror, the front desk, the van, the invoice or the bottom of your emails. Our guides for plumbers, cafes, hairdressers and other trades say where it works best for each.
Is it okay to ask customers for reviews?
Yes. Google encourages it. What is not allowed is offering a reward in return for a review, or only asking the customers you expect to be happy. Ask everyone the same way. Our guides on incentives and review gating explain the rules in New Zealand and Australia.
Rather not fix links and print codes by hand?
Goodshout sends the request for you after every job, with your review link already in it, and customers can tell you privately if something went wrong. Free for up to 25 customers a month.
