⭐ How to Find Your Google Reviews Link: The Definitive Guide (and Why You Need It)

Introduction

In today's digital world, online reviews are the new currency of trust. For a local business, Google reviews are pure gold. ⭐ They not only build social proof, but also improve your local SEO, helping more customers find you.

The problem is that we often simply say: "Search for us on Google and leave us a review!" This creates friction. The customer has to search for you, find your profile, and then discover where to click. In that process, you've lost most of them.

The solution? Give them a direct link that opens the review window with one click.

In this article, we'll show you the easiest and fastest way to get that magic link so you can start getting more reviews today.

Method 1: The Official Way (Recommended for Business Owners)

This is the cleanest and most professional way to get your link. Google gives you a short and permanent link directly from your Google Business Profile dashboard.

1. Sign in to Your Business Profile: Go to Google and search for your business name, or access your Google Business Profile dashboard directly. You must be signed in with the account that manages the profile.
2. Find the Reviews Card: In your main dashboard, you'll see several "cards." Look for one that says "Get more reviews" or "Request reviews".
3. Copy Your Short Link: When you click, Google will show you a unique and short link. It usually looks like this: g.page/r/YOUR-BUSINESS/review.

That's it! 🔗 This link is short, easy to remember, and perfect for sharing.

Method 2: The Manual Way (For Any Business)

If you're not the business owner or simply can't find the previous option, this method works always and for any business.

1. Search for the Business on Google: Go to Google search (not Google Maps) and type the exact business name.
2. Find the Knowledge Panel: To the right of the search results, you'll see the business profile (the "Knowledge Panel"), which includes photos, the map, and contact information.
3. Click "Write a review": Within this panel, you'll see a button that says "Write a review" or "Leave a review" (sometimes it's next to the stars). Click on it.
4. Copy the Browser URL: A popup window will open to write the review. This is the key moment! Look at your browser's address bar. The URL will be very long and complex. Copy that complete URL.

That long URL will take anyone exactly to that review popup window.

💡 Pro-Tip: That link is very long! What do I do?

The link you get with "Method 2" is functional, but it's ugly and too long to share on a business card or in a short message.

The solution is to use a link shortener.

• Free Tools: Sites like Bitly or Cuttly let you paste your long link and return a short one (e.g. bit.ly/ReviewsMyBusiness).
• Web Redirect (Advanced): If you have a website, you can create a redirect. For example, you can make yourwebsite.com/review automatically redirect to the long Google link. This looks incredibly professional.

I Have the Link... Now What? 📈

Having the link is just the first step. Now you have to use it strategically (but without being annoying). Here are some ideas of where to put your new review link:

• In your email signature: "We'd love to hear your opinion! [Leave review here]"
• In a QR code: Convert the link into a QR code and put it on:
  • Receipts or invoices.
  • Your store counter.
  • Your restaurant menu.
  • Your business card.
• Follow-up Messages: After a customer completes a purchase or service, send them an email or SMS (with their permission) thanking them and asking for their feedback.
• Thank You Page: On your website, after someone completes an online purchase.
