How To Create A QR Code For Your Facebook Review URL?

One of the easiest ways to get reviews on your Facebook Business Page is to set up a simple web address URL. With this web address, people can type it directly into their internet browser or scan a special code called a QR code. 

NOTE: The old way of directly linking to the Facebook profile review page for mobile devices throws a 404 error. Using LinkTrak's device targeting URL shortening process, we can create redirecting URL's based on the users device. Meaning if the user is on desktop, the shorten link goes to the review page, while on mobile devices, it just goes to their profile page (and they then select reviews). 

If you are not familiar with QR codes, it may be helpful to learn more about them and how they work. They are a convenient way for customers to quickly access a web address by scanning a code with their phone camera. For example, by creating a QR code of your review link, customers can simply scan the code and be taken directly to the review page. This can be especially helpful for business owners, such as cafe owners, who can give out small review cards for satisfied customers to easily leave a review.

Note: Facebook has changed how they process deeplinks - please read up before creating a deeplink.
