Profile link versus review link
| Link | Opens | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Profile link | Your listing on Google or Maps | Email signatures, social media, directories |
| Review link | The review box, ready to type | Asking customers for a review |
How to find your profile link
- Search your business name on Google while signed in, or open your profile in Google Maps.
- Look for the Share option on your profile.
- Copy the link it gives you.
- Open it on another phone to check it goes to the right listing.
Where to use it
- Your email signature.
- The about section of your social media.
- Your website footer, next to your address.
- Directory listings that ask for a Google link.
Short names
Google has offered short names and custom URLs for profiles at different times. If the option appears on your profile, it can make a tidier link. If it doesn't, the share link works just as well.
Check it occasionally
If your business has moved or been merged with a duplicate, old links can point to the wrong place. Click your own link every few months.
Rather not do this yourself? Our Google Business Profile management handles the profile, the posts and the reviews every week, for one monthly fee.
