Free Google review sign and table card template, with your QR code

A good sign is understood in two seconds, from a distance, by someone who wasn't thinking about it:

• A short headline saying what you're asking: to leave a review.
• The QR code, big enough, with its white margin.
• An instruction: scan with the camera, no app needed.
• Your name, so customers know they're reviewing the right business.

Stars say at a glance that this is about a review. The generator lays out these elements for you, in that order.

• The A4 poster is seen from afar: inside a shop window, in a waiting room, on the wall by the till. The QR code there is about ten centimetres wide.
• The A6 table card goes where customers sit or wait: restaurant tables, counters, reception desks. Slipped into an acrylic holder, it's read within arm's reach.

All four table cards fit on a single A4 sheet: print, then cut along the dotted lines.

• Print at actual size (100%), without « fit to page »: the white margin around the QR code matters for reading it.
• Prefer matte paper of at least 120 g/m²: glossy paper reflects the lighting.
• On a table, protect the card: a matte laminated sleeve or an acrylic holder.
• Scan the printed QR code with an iPhone and an Android, from where the customer sits.

The PDF is drawn at 300 dpi, the resolution print shops expect: you can also hand it to one.

A sign is a request for reviews, and Google's rules govern how you ask:

• No incentive: « a free coffee for a review » is forbidden, even if the review stays free.
• No required rating: ask for a review, not « 5 stars », which amounts to soliciting only positive reviews.
• No filtering: the sign speaks to every customer, not only the happy ones.

The details of these rules, and what you risk by getting around them, are in our guide to getting more Google reviews.

Canva offers many Google review sign templates: that's the right path if you want your logo, your colours and your photos. You'll need your profile's QR code: our Google review link and QR code generator gives it as PNG and SVG, ready to drop into your template.

The generator on this page does the opposite: nothing to lay out, a clean, readable sign, ready in a minute.

A sign goes straight to Google: it doesn't tell you how many customers scanned it, and offers an unhappy customer nothing but the public rating.

The Abracarda Google review card opens a page you manage: the rating first, Google's form for satisfied customers, a private message offered to unhappy ones without ever taking away their option to post, and scans counted item by item. As an NFC card, a stand or a sticker.
