Google Business Profile Introduces Get Google QR Code Button

Google Business Profile introduces a “Get Google QR Code” button that lets businesses quickly create and distribute QR codes directly to their profiles.

Google has been testing the new feature, which adds the “Get Google QR” code button that is directly in the search page when business owners go to their profiles. The button is displayed alongside standard management tools such as Edit Profile, reviews, posts, photos, and performance analytics that allow companies to get access to their QR codes directly from the search results.

Enhanced QR Code Integration for Reviews

Google has been promoting QR codes for reviews from customers in various areas of Google’s Google Business Profile dashboard and listings for a long time. The addition of it to the “Get Google QR” button in the main menu of management is an innovative method. 

It streamlines the process of making as well as sharing QR codes, allowing companies to link offline interactions to review collections on the web more efficiently.

Get Google QR Code Button Overview

Businesses can create a customized QR code that connects clients directly to the Google Review Submission page. 

The QR code is available through your Google Business Profile dashboard and can be downloaded for physically displayed (like at the counter of a store and on receipts) and for digital sharing (email or social media, email). 

This update significantly lowers the obstacles for customers to leave reviews, improving local SEO as well as enhancing the online reputation of businesses.

Observations and Community Response

The button was spotted by Robin on X, who shared a screenshot of it, highlighting its existence alongside other options for managing profiles. 

While the inclusion might be odd to some, this test is a sign of Google’s dedication to improving efficiency and ease of use in managing business profiles. Integration of QR code directly in Google Business Profile tools reflects the larger strategy of accelerating review collection and increase the visibility of local searches. 

Reviews have a significant impact on the purchasing decisions of customers and the ranking of a company in Google’s local search algorithm. This new feature can aid businesses in bridging that gap in offline interactions with customers and their online digital marketing efforts.

Bottom Line

This is an important update for local businesses looking to enhance customer engagement with little effort. This update is expected to increase your reviews and local SEO’s performance by 2025.
