In 2026, Google reviews are one of the biggest factors in whether local customers find and choose you — the vast majority read reviews before deciding. The challenge is getting them. Surprisingly, your printed materials are one of the best tools for it. Here's how.

Why reviews matter so much

Reviews drive both local search ranking and customer trust — and AI tools increasingly use them to recommend businesses. More good reviews means more visibility and more conversions.

Make leaving one effortless

The barrier is friction. A table tent, sticker, or small card with a QR code linking straight to your review page removes it — one scan and they're there.

Ask at the right moment

Place the prompt where satisfaction peaks — on the receipt, the bag, the table after a great meal. A sticker on the to-go box catches them happy.

Reinforce it everywhere

A small "Loved it? Leave us a review!" line on flyers, door hangers, and packaging keeps the ask gently visible across every touchpoint.

Earn more reviews

Google reviews drive local discovery and trust — and print is your best tool to earn them. A QR code on table tents, stickers, and packaging makes leaving a review one effortless tap.
