Getting Started with GetRating
Get up and running with GetRating in under 2 minutes. This guide walks you through account setup, adding your first business location, and generating your first QR code and review link.
1. Create your account
Head to getrating.co/signup and enter your name, email, and a password. No credit card is required — the free plan gives you 1 location and 15 reviews per month to start.
After signing up you'll land on your dashboard. This is where you'll manage locations, view analytics, and access your QR codes and review links.
2. Add your first location
Click "Add Location" from the dashboard. Enter your business name and paste your Google review link. Not sure where to find it? Search for your business on Google Maps, click "Write a review," and copy the URL from your browser.
You can also add a custom name for the location (e.g. "Downtown Store") to keep things organized if you plan to add more locations later.
3. Choose a review mode
By default, customers who rate you 4 or 5 stars are sent to your Google review page, while those who rate 1–3 stars see a private feedback form together with buttons to leave a public review. You can switch to A/B, Split or Links mode in your location settings to spread customers across review sites.
4. Get your QR code and review link
Once your location is saved, GetRating generates a unique QR code and a short review link automatically. Download the QR code to print on receipts, table tents, menus, or stickers. Share the review link via SMS, email, or WhatsApp.
Both the QR code and the link take customers to the same review flow — choose whichever fits your customer touchpoint best.
5. Start collecting reviews
Place your QR code where every customer passes — at checkout, after a service, or on the receipt — and ask everyone at the same point in the visit.
Pro Tips
Print multiple copies
Place QR codes in different spots — the counter, each table, the exit. More touchpoints mean more scans.
Ask at the right moment
Ask every customer at a consistent moment, such as checkout or handover, rather than picking only the customers who seem happy.
