Setting up your Google Review link

This is the single most important thing to set up after your site goes live. It's a 30-second job that unlocks a lot of automation.

Why it matters

When you paste your Google Review link into MyTradeSite, three things start working:

• QR codes for your van, business cards, and invoices that take customers straight to your review page
• Automatic review request emails sent 24 hours after a customer pays
• Higher Google rankings — Google ranks businesses with more reviews higher, full stop

Finding your link in Google

1. Sign in to your Google Business Profile at business.google.com.
2. Click your business, then look for "Get more reviews" or "Ask for reviews".
3. Google gives you a short link starting with g.page/r/... or g.co/kgs/.... Copy it.

If you don't have a Google Business Profile yet, set one up first — there's a guide in the Tools tab of your dashboard. It takes about 10 minutes and Google posts you a verification card.

Pasting it into MyTradeSite

1. Go to Website → Pages → Homepage in your dashboard.
2. Find the Google Review Link field.
3. Paste the link in and hit Save.

That's it. Your QR codes will now work, and review request emails will start firing automatically when you mark a job paid.
