Where to Place Google Review QR Code Stickers

The best place for a Google Review QR code sticker is somewhere customers naturally notice after receiving a product or service. Visibility matters, but timing matters too: the sticker should appear at a point where asking for feedback feels relevant rather than intrusive.

At the checkout or till

For retail businesses, the counter is one of the most obvious locations. Customers are already close to the surface and usually have their phone within reach. Keep the sticker visible without covering payment instructions or other essential information.

Near a collection point

If customers collect orders in person, a QR review sticker near the handover point can work well. The interaction has just finished, so the review request is connected to a recent experience.

On a shop window or entrance area

Window placement can give a sticker good visibility, especially where customers pause before entering or leaving. Make sure reflections, strong backlighting or excessive distance do not make the QR code difficult to scan.

On packaging or order collection materials

For businesses that hand customers bags, boxes or printed paperwork, a review sticker can also be placed on suitable packaging. This gives the customer the option to scan it later rather than while standing at the counter.

At tables, reception desks or waiting areas

Cafés, restaurants, salons, clinics and other service businesses may have surfaces where customers spend time. A discreet review sticker can be easier to notice there than on a busy wall.

Places to avoid

• Surfaces that are too low or difficult to reach with a phone
• Highly curved or textured surfaces that distort the QR code
• Areas with poor lighting
• Positions where the code is regularly covered
• Locations where customers would need to block a walkway to scan it

Frequently asked questions

Should the sticker be at eye level?

Not necessarily. It should be easy to notice and easy to reach with a phone. Counter height is often practical.

Can I put a QR sticker on glass?

Yes, but test the scan in the actual lighting conditions because glare and reflections can affect visibility.

How many review stickers should a business use?

There is no fixed number. Use enough to cover the main customer touchpoints without making the request feel repetitive.
