How Do I Get a Shortened Google Review URL from Google Business Profile?

✅ Method 1: Get the Review Link from Google Business Profile (Recommended)

1. Go to https://business.google.com

2. Select your business location

3. From the left menu, click Get more reviews
   (or go to Home → Get more reviews)

4. Click Share review form

Google will generate a shortened review URL, typically in this format:
g.page/r/your-unique-code

This is the cleanest and most professional review link option.

🔗 Method 2: Use the Direct Review URL (Place ID Method)

If you can’t find the review link in the Google interface, you can manually generate one using your Place ID.

URL format:

How to find your Place ID:

• Use Google’s Place ID Finder

• Or inspect your business profile page source

📱 Method 3: Use Google’s QR Code

In the same Get more reviews section, Google also provides a QR code that customers can scan to leave a review.

This is ideal for:

• Front desk signage

• Receipts

• In-store marketing materials

👤 What Google Access Level Is Required?

To access and share your Google review link, you must have at least Manager access to the Google Business Profile.

Access Levels Explained:

• Owner – Full access (including review links, users, and profile deletion)

• Manager ✅ Minimum required

  • Can get review links

  • Edit business info

  • Respond to reviews

  • View insights

• Site Manager ❌

  • Website-only access

🔐 How to Request Access (If Needed)

If you don’t have the required access, the current Owner must invite you:

Google Business Profile → Users → Add Users → Assign “Manager” role

This is common when managing review campaigns for automotive shops or multiple locations.
