Design tips

• Add a clear call to action next to the code: “Scan to review us on Google”

• Make it large enough to scan easily

• Keep good contrast (dark code on a light background)

• Test it with several phones before printing

• Add your logo carefully without breaking scannability

Static vs dynamic QR codes

Dynamic codes are useful for printed materials you may want to update later.

Track results

Use dynamic codes or add tracking parameters (UTM tags) to links, so you can see scans and actions in Google Analytics.

Security

Use trusted QR generators, check links before printing, and make sure codes lead to secure (https) pages.

Frequently asked questions

Do QR codes expire? Static codes don’t. Dynamic codes depend on your provider subscription.

Where should I place a review QR code? At the counter, on bills and in packaging, wherever customers are happy and have a moment.

Can I track who scans? You can track number of scans and actions, not personal identities.
