How to Get & Share Your Google Business Review Link

It used to be that word of mouth and recommendations from friends or family were the best way to get new business—today all it takes is a Google search. If you’re a business owner, you understand that customer reviews and local SEO are one of the most powerful tools for generating new business.

In a matter of seconds, someone can perform a Google search for your business listing, scroll through a few Google reviews, and have the information they need to make a decision. That means the difference between three stars and five stars can have a big impact.

If you want to gain the trust of prospective customers, you’re going to need positive customer reviews. The best way to generate more valuable reviews is to make it easier for your customers to leave them on your Google Business Profile (formerly known as Google My Business or GMB).

One of the simplest ways for you to encourage customers to leave a review is by creating and sharing a Google Review Link.

How to Generate a Google Review Link Using PlaceID

Go to the Place ID Lookup Tool on Google:
- Open Google’s Place ID Tool. This is a simple generator that gives you a unique identification code for your business. Google uses this code to locate your business account in Google Maps.
Find your Google Business Profile listing and access your Place ID:
- To get your Place ID, type your Google Business Profile name into the “enter a location” field and select it from the drop-down. Once you’ve selected your business, the Google Map app will auto-adjust and your Place ID will appear on the map.
Copy your Place ID:
- Your Place ID is the 25-character string of letters and numbers displayed beneath your business name. All you need to do is copy your Place ID.
Add your Place ID to the provided Google URL:
- Next, you’ll paste your Place ID at the end of the Google review URL, replacing with your Place ID. When your Place ID is added it should look like this: https://search.google.com/local/

Send your Google Review Link to customers:
- Now that you have your Google Review Link, all you have to do is share it with your customers.
