The QR code needs the right destination
A useful QR code should not just open your website or general business listing. It should send the customer as close as possible to the review screen.
That direct path is what turns a nice intention into a published review.
Visibility matters
The QR code should be large enough, high contrast, and placed where customers naturally have their phone in hand.
Use a clear line like 'Your Google review helps us'. Customers should understand the action in one second.
QR + NFC covers more habits
Some customers prefer scanning, others prefer tapping. Offering both avoids losing part of the audience.
That is especially useful in high-traffic local businesses where every second matters.
