Where should i put my sticker?
You can put your sticker anywhere you’d like at your storefront. Some small businesses place their window stickers from sites like Google, Amazon, Tripadvisor and social media (like Facebook stickers and Instagram stickers) right on their front door next to their business hours. Others prefer to place them prominently by the checkout area alongside their business cards.
Use the digital stickers for social posts and digital marketing material like email campaigns or flyers. You could even print them on the back of business cards so customers or staff can carry an easy review link with them.

FAQs about Google reviews
How can i attract Google reviews for my business?
In addition to displaying a “Review us on Google” sticker at your storefront, you can also ask your customers for reviews directly by creating a Google review link and emailing or texting the review request to customers after they’ve completed a transaction.
Check out Broadly’s guide on how to get Google reviews for tips on asking for reviews. We’ve also created these handy templates to ask for customer reviews.
Is it illegal to buy Google reviews?
Wondering whether it’s a good idea to buy reviews or not? Companies that compensate customers in exchange for fake reviews could potentially face legal action from the FTC or the platforms behind online reviews themselves, such as Amazon.
According to Google’s guidelines on online reviews and other content, any post deemed to have a conflict of interest would be considered prohibited and restricted.
In addition, Google Business Profiles (formerly known as Google My Business) have automatic spam detection filters set up to flag fake reviews on the spot, which could be one reason why your Google reviews aren’t showing up.
