Review Link & QR Generator for Google Maps

Description

Generate Google review links, QR codes & templates for any business on Maps. Place ID, CID & directions link included. Stop manually copying Google review links. Stop wasting time building QR codes in separate tools. If you manage Google Business Profiles for clients, or you run a local business yourself, you know the routine. Open Google Maps, find the place, dig through the URL to extract a review link, paste it into a QR generator, then format it into a WhatsApp message or email. Every. Single. Time. It takes 5-10 minutes per business. Multiply that by 20 clients, and you just lost half a day on copy-paste busywork. This extension does it in seconds, right inside Google Maps. WHY GETTING REVIEW LINKS IS HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE Google does not give you a direct "copy review link" button on Maps. Getting the right URL requires: - Finding the Place ID (buried in the page source or a separate lookup tool) - Constructing the correct review URL format (search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=...) - Building a QR code in a third-party tool - Writing review request messages from scratch each time - Repeating all of this for every single business location Most people end up with a messy spreadsheet of half-broken links and outdated QR codes. This extension eliminates that entire workflow. WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES Review Link & QR Generator is a floating panel that appears on any Google Maps business page. It automatically detects the business you are viewing - name, Place ID, and CID - and generates all the links you need instantly. No spreadsheets. No separate tools. No URL hacking. Here is what you get: Write-a-Review Link - The direct URL that opens the Google review form for that business. One click to copy, ready to share. All Reviews Link - Links directly to the full reviews page for the business. Google Maps Link - A clean, shareable link to the business listing on Maps. Directions Link - Pre-built navigation link using the Place ID, so it always points to the right location. CID Link - The numeric Customer ID link, useful for tracking and advanced local SEO work. Review QR Code - Generated instantly from the review link. Download as PNG to print on receipts, table tents, business cards, or email signatures. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open any business on Google Maps 2. The floating panel appears automatically and detects the business 3. Copy any link with one click, download the QR code, or use a review request template 4. Save the business to your local list for later 5. Switch to another business - the panel updates automatically That is it. No setup, no configuration, no account creation. WHY A FLOATING PANEL INSTEAD OF A POPUP Most Chrome extensions for Maps use a popup that disappears as soon as you click somewhere else. That means you lose your generated links every time you interact with the map. This extension uses a floating side panel that stays visible while you browse Maps. Click through businesses in search results, switch between locations, close and reopen - your data stays right there. The panel auto-detects when you navigate to a new business, so you never have to click "detect" or re-enter anything manually. REVIEW REQUEST TEMPLATES Three ready-to-use message templates are built in: WhatsApp - Pre-formatted with the business name and review link. One tap to open WhatsApp with the message ready to send. Email - Includes a subject line and body text. Click to open your email client with everything pre-filled. SMS - Short and direct, optimized for text message character limits. Every template automatically inserts the current business name and review link. You can edit any template and your changes are saved locally for next time. Reset buttons restore the defaults. SAVED BUSINESSES AND CSV EXPORT Save any business to a local list with one click. Each saved entry stores the business name, Place ID, CID, and timestamp. Click any saved business to instantly reload its links and QR code. Export your entire list as a CSV file with business name, Place ID, CID, review link, and Maps link columns. All data is stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage. Nothing is sent to any server.
