Every way to collect reviews with GetRating

No QR code required. Send a link, set up email campaigns, embed a widget — or combine them all. Here are all the ways to start getting the reviews you deserve.

Direct Link

The simplest way to start

Every location gets a unique review link you can share anywhere — copy and paste it into an email, a chat message, a text, or post it on social media. Your customers click the link and leave a review in seconds.

Use cases

  • Send after a purchase or appointment
  • Add to email signatures
  • Share in WhatsApp or Messenger
  • Post on social media

Setup

Instant — your link is ready the moment you create a location.

QR Code

For physical locations

Generate a printable QR code that links directly to your review page. Place it on your counter, receipts, business cards, table tents, or packaging. Customers scan with their phone camera and leave a review on the spot.

Use cases

  • Counter or checkout displays
  • Printed on receipts
  • Table tents at restaurants
  • Business cards or flyers

Setup

Download your QR code in one click from the dashboard.

Email Campaigns

Growth plan

Automated follow-ups

Send review request emails to your customers — either manually or triggered automatically after a visit. Customize the subject line and message, target specific star ratings, and schedule sends for the perfect timing.

Use cases

  • Post-purchase follow-up emails
  • Scheduled weekly review requests
  • Target only happy customers (4-5 stars)
  • Multi-location campaigns

Setup

Set up a campaign template once, then let it run automatically.

SMS Campaigns

Growth plan

High open rates

Text messages get opened within minutes. Send review requests via SMS with your review link included. Supports international numbers with automatic formatting.

Use cases

  • Quick post-service follow-up
  • Customers who don't check email
  • Time-sensitive review requests
  • High-touch service businesses

Setup

Configure your SMS campaign and send to individual customers or lists.

Website Widget

Show reviews on your site

Embed a review widget on your website to display your ratings and reviews. Choose from badge, card, or inline layouts with light, dark, or auto themes. Add it with a simple iframe or JavaScript snippet.

Use cases

  • Homepage social proof
  • Product or service pages
  • Landing pages
  • Booking or checkout pages

Setup

Copy the embed code from your dashboard and paste it into your site.

Employee Tracking Links

See who drives the most reviews

Create unique tracked links for each team member. See which employees generate the most reviews, their average ratings, and conversion rates on a leaderboard.

Use cases

  • Reward top-performing staff
  • Track review sources by team member
  • Accountability for review collection
  • Gamify the process with leaderboards

Setup

Create tracking links in the dashboard and assign them to employees.

A/B Test & Split Routing

Distribute across platforms

Don't put all your reviews in one basket. Use A/B test mode to distribute customers across multiple review platforms by percentage, or split mode to let customers choose where to leave their review.

Use cases

  • Balance reviews across Google & Facebook
  • Test which platforms convert best
  • Let customers pick their preferred platform
  • Build presence on multiple sites

Setup

Configure review mode and platform weights in your location settings.

Social Sharing

After the review

After a customer leaves a positive review, they see a thank-you page with options to share their experience on Twitter/X and Facebook. You can customize the pre-filled message.

Use cases

  • Amplify positive reviews on social media
  • Free word-of-mouth marketing
  • Increase brand visibility
  • Customer-generated content

Setup

Enabled by default. Customize the share message in location settings.
