Free tool

Google review link shortener

Paste any Google Maps link and get a clean, direct "write a review" link in one click - plus an optional short URL for SMS, receipts and QR codes. Free, instant, no sign-up.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your business on Google Maps

    Search your business name, open the listing, tap Share and copy the link.

  2. 2

    Paste it above

    We read the place identifier inside the link and convert it - nothing is uploaded, it happens in your browser.

  3. 3

    Share your review link

    Copy the direct write-a-review link, or make a short URL that fits neatly in an SMS or on a receipt.

Common questions

How do I get my Google review link?

Open your business on Google Maps, tap Share and copy the link, then paste it into the tool above. It converts the long link into a direct 'write a review' link that opens the 5-star rating box.

Is this really free?

Yes - no sign-up, no watermark, no catch. We make NFC review cards for a living; the tool is free because it's genuinely useful.

What's the difference between the review link and the short link?

The review link is Google's official write-a-review URL and works forever. The short link is a compact tapstars.com.au address that redirects to it - handy for SMS, receipts and cleaner QR codes.

Why does my maps.app.goo.gl link not work?

Those short links hide the place identifier. Open the short link in a browser first, then copy the full URL from the address bar and paste that instead.

Can customers use the link without a Google account?

They'll be asked to sign in to Google to post a review - that's a Google requirement for all reviews, no matter what link you use.

Now put that link to work

A link is only useful if customers actually tap it. Our NFC review cards and plaques open your review page with a single tap of the customer's phone - no typing, no QR hunting.
