I’m sure it comes as no surprise that Google Reviews are an important factor when it comes to your online success. Google Reviews not only give your business authority and trustworthiness, but they are also a ranking factor in local search results.

It’s not always easy to ask your clients or customers to review your business, so when you are able to, it’s always a good idea to make the process as easy as possible for them. Sending clients a link that will bring them directly to the review form is obviously the best bet, but unfortunately, Google doesn’t make this an easy thing to do.

How To Generate A Google Review Link

Generating a Google Review link is actually pretty easy to do, you’ll just need to follow 2 steps.

1. First, you’ll need to find your “Place ID”. Start by going to the Google Place ID Finder and searching for your business name. Once you find your business, click the name and verify the location on the map. The map card that points to your location will include the Place ID. Copy the ID.
2. Now just paste your Place ID into the link below replacing the placeholder with your ID.
   https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid={PLACE ID HERE}

Using our business as an example, the final URL would look something like this: https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ8wdEEj2r2YgR-BS9gUBdK_k

Now, just paste the link into a browser to test it. When the page loads, a form should pop up asking you to review your business.

Once you’ve confirmed your Google Review link is working, you can now send it to your clients and customers to review your business.
