Church Google Review Link Generator
At Church Marketing University we are huge fans of getting a stream of positive reviews coming in for your church each month. Reviews play a big role in driving decisions in our culture. Plus reviews are great for helping your church rank on search engines (SEO)!
We love reviews so much we even created a CMU Reviews Course on how to develop a simple system to automatically get your church new glowing reviews each month. Now we have a brand new tool that makes this process on Google simple.
Google Reviews – Link Generator
Start by typing in the name of your church here:
Select your church name. Then copy your church’s unique Google Review Link. Now paste that link in a new tab or browser and double-check that it takes people directly to leave a review for your church.
Bonus Tips
Now that you have your church’s direct link for a Google Review here are some additional bonus tips.
- Use a URL shortener like Bitly to create a shorter link.
- Create a page on your church’s website with instructions to help people leave your church reviews. On your reviews page you could use your direct links to Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc. (Example from Christ Fellowship.)
- Create an archive of good example reviews. Put the best examples on your church’s reviews page mentioned above. You can also use these samples to show people who may feel stuck on how to write a helpful review.
- Be super careful how you ask for reviews. You do not want to use manipulation or violate terms of service agreements for these platforms.
- Get into the Church Marketing University Reviews Course to learn our simple approach on how to build out a reviews system for your church.

CMU has been invaluable to me and I’ve only been a member since the fall. We are a small church and our financial assets are limited, but this has provided a better return than anything I can think of. We are seeing visitors and returning visitors at a rate we never have before. We can’t afford paid staff and volunteers have to try to find a way to learn on their own. CMU has made that possible. If you think you can’t afford it, think out of the box. I pay our CMU membership as part of my financial gift to my church. Would someone, or several, want to do that for your church? A love offering directed for CMU? I promise you won’t regret it for a minute! 
CMU is part of our team. Our latest Church plant is thriving and I believe God used CMU to make that happen.
