why were asking to sign into Google first. It’s too much work for our client.
Why does my Google review QR code go to a sign-in page instead of the review form?
Recommended answer: Why does my Google review QR code go to a sign-in page instead of the review form?
Google's sign-in prompt exists to prevent fake reviews; customers already signed into Google skip it, and anyone with a Google account can leave a review.
Google requires users to log in to leave a review in order to prevent fake reviews, this is why your customers may have seen the sign in screen. If the user is already logged into Google on their phone they will already be signed in and will directly leave you a review.
Android phones are able to post reviews without any issue. However, if the user is not already signed into a Google account on their device, Google will prompt them to sign in or create one before submitting the review.
Yes, anyone with a Google account can leave a Google review, regardless of their email address.
…One thing that may help is linking your QR code to directly open the Google Maps app. If your customer is logged in already on the Google Maps app, they won't need to log in.

When people scan the code they are prompted to sign into their Google account. Not everyone has one!!
