Get more Google reviews, the right way

6 steps to more reviews

  1. A QR code on the bill

    In your Google Business Profile, tap “Ask for reviews” and copy the link. Turn it into a QR code for the bill, the table card and the takeaway bag.

  2. One line for staff

    “So glad you loved it! If you have a sec, a Google review really helps a small place like us.”

  3. A follow-up text

    Send a short thank-you text a couple of hours after the meal. Most booking systems can do this for you.

  4. Reply to every review

    Reply within 2 days. Use their name, mention the dish, say thank you. For bad ones: say sorry, fix it, invite them back.

  5. Never fake it or pay for it

    No bought reviews, no swaps, no “5 stars for a free dessert”. It breaks Google’s rules, and fake reviews can breach Australian Consumer Law.

  6. Make it a weekly habit

    A few minutes every week to check new reviews and reply.
