Google Maps
Type at least three letters and pick your business from Google's list. If it doesn't appear, add the town.
What a place ID is
A place ID is the identifier Google gives every place on its maps: shops, restaurants, parks, whole towns. It is a string of letters and numbers that usually starts with ChIJ. Names repeat and addresses change, so software uses the place ID to point at exactly one listing.
How to use the finder
- Type the business name and pick the right result.
- Copy the place ID.
- Paste it wherever it was asked for.
The most common use: a review link
Add your place ID to the end of this address and you have a link that opens Google's review box for your business:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=
The review link generator does this for you and adds a QR code.

Frequently asked questions
What is a place ID used for?
It tells Google exactly which place you mean. Review links, map embeds, booking tools and website plugins that show your reviews often ask for it.
Does a place ID ever change?
Sometimes. Google notes that a place ID can change, so if an old link or plugin stops working, look the ID up again.
Why can't I find my business?
Add the town to your search. A business that hides its address on Google may not appear in a name search. In that case, copy your review link from your Google Business Profile instead.
Is a place ID private?
No. It is a public identifier for a public listing, like a street address. Sharing it gives nobody access to your Business Profile.
