Review Request Card Widget

Invite customers to review you on Google, Trustpilot, Facebook or any other site with a friendly card of up to three review buttons, an optional QR code for the main one and, if you want it, a private feedback link shown alongside them. Built to follow review-platform rules: every visitor sees every public link.

How it works

Each review destination is one line, Label | https address, and up to three are shown as equal buttons with a neutral star icon - no platform logos, so no trademark artwork is reused. A label that is just a site name becomes Review us on Google; a label that is already a sentence, such as Leave a review on Yelp, is kept. Addresses must be https; javascript:, data: and http links are dropped and the builder preview says which line failed. A private feedback link to your own form is optional and appears last, in the same button style, marked as not published - and only when at least one public link is valid, so it can never replace them. There is deliberately no star-rating step and no setting that routes happy and unhappy customers to different places: Google's policy prohibits selectively soliciting positive reviews. With the QR option on, the first link is encoded at error-correction level M by the same qr-code-styling engine as the A2Z QR generator, loaded only then.

Method

  • Destinations shown = all valid public links (max 3, in your order) + the private link if set; the private link requires >= 1 public link
  • No rating input, threshold or routing option exists in the widget
  • QR (optional): first public link, qr-code-styling 1.8.4, error correction M

Worked examples

Three public links plus private

Inputs: Google | https://g.page/r/abc/review; Trustpilot | https://www.trustpilot.com/evaluate/acme.example; Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/acme/reviews; feedback=https://forms.example/f

Result: Review us on Google; Review us on Trustpilot; Review us on Facebook; Tell us privately (not published)

Public links keep your order; the private link is always last.

Private link alone

Inputs: links empty; feedback=https://forms.example/f

Result: No buttons; preview note: the private link needs a public review link

The private route can never stand in for public reviews.

Unsafe link

Inputs: Google | javascript:alert(1)

Result: No button for that line

Only https addresses become buttons.

Limitations

  • The card cannot see or display your reviews or rating; use Star Rating Display for a rating you report yourself.
  • At most three public review sites, plus one private link.
  • It does not check that a link really is a review page - paste the exact link your review platform gives you.

Where publishers use it

  • A restaurant or cafe's website footer and the thank-you page after an online booking
  • A dentist's or physiotherapist's patient page listing Google and a healthcare review site
  • A tradesperson's job-complete page with the QR code printed on an invoice screenshot
  • An online shop's order-confirmation page pointing to Trustpilot and Google
  • A hotel or B&B checkout information page with links to the booking sites guests used

Questions

How do I get my Google review link?

Sign in to your Google Business Profile, choose Read reviews and then Get more reviews, and select Copy to take the review link; on a computer you can also save the QR code shown there. Paste the link into the card as Google | <link>. Google notes that review QR codes can be created only in a computer browser.

Why can't the card ask for a star rating first and send only happy customers to Google?

That practice, often called review gating, breaks Google Maps policy, which forbids discouraging negative reviews or selectively soliciting positive reviews from customers. In the US, the FTC rule on consumer reviews (16 CFR Part 465) also bans suppressing reviews. The card therefore shows every public link to every visitor.

Can I offer a discount or prize for a review?

Not for reviews on Google: its policy treats incentives such as payment, discounts or free goods in exchange for a review as fake engagement. The FTC rule forbids incentives conditioned on a review being positive. The card generates no incentive wording; keep your own message free of it too.

What is the private feedback link for?

Some customers prefer to tell you about a problem directly. You can add a link to your own form, which appears after the public buttons in the same style and is labelled not published. It is never shown instead of them - with no valid public link, it is not shown at all.

Why are there no Google or Trustpilot logos?

Brand logos come with usage rules and are usually not to be altered or recoloured, which a themed widget would do. The card uses one neutral star icon and the site name in text, which keeps it consistent with your colours and dark mode.

Where does the QR code point?

To the first public link in your list. Put the site where you most want reviews first. The code is drawn black on white for reliable scanning in either theme, and the engine is downloaded only when the QR option is on.
