FAQ

Does it work on both Google Maps and Apple Maps?

If you use a Google Maps share link, it opens in Google Maps on Android and in the browser on iPhone (which then prompts to open in Apple Maps or Google Maps if installed). For universal compatibility, use the Google Maps short link.

Can I link to a specific place with reviews and hours?

Yes. Search for your business on Google Maps, click Share, copy the link — it includes your place ID with reviews, photos, and hours. That's the URL you encode in the QR code.

What if my business isn't on Google Maps?

You can use a direct coordinate link like https://maps.google.com/?q=40.7128,-74.0060 — this drops a pin at the exact location regardless of whether a business listing exists.
