Make a free Yelp QR code that puts your page one scan away
This Yelp QR code generator links print to your Yelp business page. A customer scans the code and lands on your listing: photos, hours, menu, directions, and what other people say about you. Use it on window stickers, table cards, and receipts as a “Find us on Yelp” pointer.
Planning to ask for a star rating first, as the business review app does? Leave Yelp out of that flow: Yelp says a review request after a survey or feedback form is against its policy.
The code is static, free, needs no account, and never expires. Paste your Yelp page link once and print it anywhere. To change where it points after printing, or to see how many people scanned it, save it as a dynamic code in a free QRplify account and print that one.
What a Yelp QR code does
- Opens your Yelp listing: the scan lands on your business page in the app or browser.
- Shows the full picture: photos, hours, menu, and directions in one place.
- Stays fixed: the printed code always opens the same page.
Get your page link from Yelp
Your Yelp page address is www.yelp.com/biz/ followed by your Yelp Business ID, and Yelp says it can’t be customized.
- Go to yelp.com in a browser. Type your business name in the first part of the search bar and your town in the second.
- Open your business page and check the name and address, so the code doesn’t point at a similarly named business.
- Copy the address from the address bar. After www.yelp.com/biz/ comes your Business ID, usually your business name and location joined by dashes, such as yelp-san-francisco.
- Paste it into the generator above. If the address carries a ? and more after the ID, you can delete that part: a shorter link makes a simpler code.
Yelp’s “Find us on Yelp” sticker, or this code?
Yelp sends businesses a free “Find us on Yelp” sticker on request, and says it leads customers to look you up on Yelp. A QR code takes them straight to your page. They work side by side: the sticker on the window, the code on tables, counters and receipts.
| Yelp’s sticker | This generator | |
|---|---|---|
| How you get it | A request form on Yelp’s site; Yelp sends stickers once a month | Make it on this page now, with no account |
| What it does | Tells people you are on Yelp, so they look you up | Opens your Yelp page in one scan |
| How it looks | Yelp’s own design | Your colors, a logo, a frame such as “Scan to find us on Yelp”, or a printable poster or business card |
| Files | A sticker in the mail | PNG, JPG and SVG, or PDF for a printable design |
A free QRplify account adds a dynamic version you can change after printing, with scan counts.
What Yelp allows when you promote your page
- No asking. Don’t ask anyone for a review, whether customers, mailing list subscribers, friends or family. Staff should never compete to collect reviews either.
- No asking after feedback. That includes asking once a customer has filled in a survey or a contact form.
- No rewards. No freebies, discounts or payment for a review, or for removing one. When Yelp learns of this, it can put a Consumer Alert on your Yelp page.
- Telling people you’re on Yelp is fine. Yelp encourages “Find us on Yelp” signs, as long as they don’t ask for a review.
- Yelp’s logo and stars. Yelp’s brand guidelines let a business put the “Find us on Yelp” logo on signs and marketing, unchanged except for its size. They ask businesses not to use the Yelp logo on its own, and to show their rating in Yelp’s star imagery only through Yelp’s review badges. In the generator, the logo in the middle of the code and the 5 stars on a printable design are both optional.
Yelp’s own pages: Don’t Ask for Reviews, The DOs and DON’Ts of Yelp for Business Owners and the Yelp Brand Center.
Where a “Find us on Yelp” code fits
- Window stickers: signal an active, findable business before someone walks in.
- Table cards and counters: diners check the highlights and save your page for next time.
- Receipts and takeout bags: keep the listing one scan away for the reorder.
- Food trucks and market stalls: a storefront on wheels still gets found.
How to create it
- Paste your Yelp page link: open your business page, copy the URL from the browser, and paste it in the field above. A link without https:// works too: the generator adds it.
- Check the preview: scan it and confirm your listing opens, and no similarly named business.
- Style it: your brand colors, a logo, and a frame. The default label is “Scan to find us on Yelp”, and your own label can run to 28 characters. For a sign, select Make a printable design: a poster in A4, A5 or US Letter, or a 3.5 x 2 in business card. Its headline starts as “Find us on Yelp”.
- Download: PNG at 4096 px (3000 px on iPhone and iPad) for print, JPG for screens, and SVG at any size. With a printable design on, you get a PDF at the exact page or card size in place of the SVG.
Scan test on 2 phones before printing. A static code cannot be edited later, so confirm the listing first.
Tips for a code that works with Yelp’s rules
- Frame it as finding, never reviewing: asking is off the table on Yelp, so the code’s job is discovery. “Find us on Yelp” is Yelp’s own wording, and the default label, “Scan to find us on Yelp”, keeps to it.
- Read every line you print: “Review us” or “Leave a quick review” is an ask, wherever it sits on the sign.
- Keep the listing sharp: fresh photos and correct hours do the selling once the page opens.
- Place it where people wonder about you: windows, counters, and receipts.
- Keep contrast high: a dark code on a light background, with clear space around it.
FAQs
Can I use this code to ask for Yelp reviews?
No. Yelp’s rules bar asking anyone for a review, customers included, and its software may not recommend reviews that look requested. Those reviews stay reachable through a link at the bottom of your page, but they don’t count toward your star rating or review count. Keep the framing as “find us on Yelp” and let reviews happen on their own.
Can the code open my Yelp review form instead of my page?
It can, since the code opens whatever link you paste. But a code that opens the review form is a request for a review, which Yelp asks businesses not to make. Link to your business page instead: people who want to review you will find Write a Review there, or Add Review in the Yelp app.
Can I offer a discount or a freebie for a Yelp review?
No. Yelp bans freebies, discounts and payment in exchange for reviews, and rewards for removing one. When Yelp learns of it, it can show a Consumer Alert on your Yelp page, and Yelp points out that this may also be illegal.
What about Google or Tripadvisor reviews?
Different platforms, different rules. Google and Tripadvisor let businesses ask for reviews, as long as nothing is offered in return. Google adds that you should not ask only happy customers. Use the Google review or Tripadvisor QR code generators for those.
How do I get a “Find us on Yelp” sticker?
Yelp’s sticker page has a request form, and Yelp sends stickers once a month. Yelp also mails a “People Love Us on Yelp” window cling twice a year to businesses that qualify, but it doesn’t send one on request. For your own signs, the Yelp Brand Center has Yelp’s logos to download, with the rules for using them.
Which link do I paste?
Your public business page URL, like yelp.com/biz/your-business. Open your page in a browser and copy the address. Yelp builds it from your business name and location, joined by dashes, and says it can’t be customized.
Can I change the destination after printing?
Not on a static code: it always opens the link it was made with. After a download, with the printable design off, the generator offers to save it as a dynamic QR code in a free QRplify account. Print that one, and you can point it at a new link later and see how many people scanned it.
Publish your Yelp QR code
Paste your page link above, add a “Find us on Yelp” label, and scan test on 2 phones before you print. For print, download the PNG at 4096 px or the SVG, or the PDF of a printable design.
