A printable scan to review sign for your counter
Paste your business page and this lays out a whole sign around the code: the platform your reviews land on, your business name and a line under the code you can reword. Printing it costs nothing.
What is on screen is what prints. Scan the code with your own phone and check where it lands before a sign goes on the counter.
Paste the listing, print the sign
Drop in your business page on Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor. The sign names whichever one the listing resolves to, above the code, so a customer can see where the scan goes before they take it.

Where a printed review sign earns its space
A sign is an object competing with everything else on a counter. Four things decide whether yours gets used, and none of them is the code in the middle.
Say which platform the code opens.
A bare square asks a stranger to gamble a tap on an unknown destination, and most of them will not. The sign prints the platform name above the code, with its mark beside the name, so the destination is settled before a phone comes out.
Keep the line under the code plain.
One sentence, with no condition attached to it. The default here gives a reason rather than making a second request, and the box above the sign lets you reword it before you print. Anything that reads like a survey gets treated like one.
Pick the size for where the sign will stand.
A full sheet at the till or on a wall is read from a couple of metres. A half sheet folded into a table tent is read from a seat. Both print from the same sign here, and the code is drawn at the highest of the four error correction levels, which restores roughly thirty percent of a damaged pattern.
Print one and test it standing where a customer stands.
Scan it from that distance, in that light, on the phone you actually carry. Then print the rest. The expensive mistake here is fifty copies of something nobody can read from the far side of a queue.

Questions about printing a review sign
Which listings it covers, how it differs from the Google guide, and what the printing costs.
Which platforms can the sign point to?
Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor, which are the listings this page can read. The sign names the one your paste resolved to and prints that platform's mark beside the name, so a single sign never implies the others.
How is this different from the Google review QR code page?
That page is the Google how to: the manual three step method for taking your Google review link and turning it into a code, written for somebody searching for exactly that. This page is the sign. It takes the code and lays it out on a sheet you can print, for whichever of the listings above your business is on. If Google is the only one you care about, the guide is the shorter read.
Can I print the sign for free?
Yes. Print this sign opens your own browser's print dialog, and nothing is charged, watermarked or uploaded. The high resolution files, a vector of the finished sign and a 2000 pixel image of it, come with a free trial, and the button that offers them says so before you press it.
Does Google give me a code without this?
It does, as a code on its own rather than as a sign. Google Business Profile puts one under Get more reviews that you save with a right click, and its help page notes that code can only be generated in a computer browser rather than on a phone.
How do I know whether anyone is scanning it?
A plain code on a sign cannot tell you. The tracked version below is a real, working funnel that counts scans and taps for 10 days, and it is minted only when you press the button for it.
What does the tracked code show a customer?
A short page with your name on it that asks how the visit went, then shows the public review links to everyone. A customer who had a rough visit is invited to send you a private note first, and can still post publicly from the same screen.
Do I need this to be a customer?
No. The sign and both codes here are free and neither asks for an email address. The paid product is the part that reads the reviews you collect and drafts your replies for you to post.

Signs collect reviews. Replies keep them
A reply on a review is the part a future customer reads. GetSetReply writes the first draft and leaves the posting to you.
