One QR code for every place you collect reviews

Questions

Where should a small business ask for reviews?

Google Business Profile first for almost every local business, because it feeds local search and Maps. Facebook is the usual second, then Trustpilot for ecommerce and services, Yelp for restaurants and retail, and BBB for formal trust. By trade: Tripadvisor for hospitality, Angi for contractors and home services, G2 or Capterra for software. Most businesses end up with two or three, which is exactly the case for one code instead of three.

Can I ask for reviews on more than one platform at once?

Yes. A review hub is one QR code that opens a page listing each place you collect reviews, so the customer picks the one they already have an account on. That beats printing three codes, because a phone camera locks onto whichever code is nearest and half your customers land on the platform you did not mean.

Is it against the rules to ask customers for reviews?

Asking is allowed and encouraged. What is not allowed is steering. Trustpilot states that businesses can invite customers using links or QR codes, and prohibits being selective by inviting only people you know had a good experience. The FTC Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule bans incentives conditioned on the sentiment of a review. So put the code where every customer passes, never behind a "how was your experience?" filter, and offer nothing in return.

Can I see which review site my customers use?

Yes. Scanlo counts every scan of the code and which site each person taps, so you learn whether your customers reach for Google or Facebook before you invest in a platform. The per-site breakdown is on the Standard plan.

Can I change the review sites after printing?

Yes. The printed QR points at a page you control, so you can add Trustpilot next quarter or drop a site that nobody uses without reprinting anything. A printed Scanlo code keeps redirecting forever, on any plan.

Which link should each button point at?

The one that opens the write-a-review form, not your profile page. For Google that is the short link from "Ask for reviews" in your Business Profile, and for Trustpilot it is trustpilot.com/evaluate/your-domain. Every extra tap between the scan and the stars costs you reviews.

Is it free?

The free plan includes one hub with two review sites, scan totals and 30-day history, with no card required. Standard adds up to 10 hubs with up to 10 links each, the per-site breakdown, 90-day history and no Scanlo branding.
