Where to Use Your Survey / Google Form QR Code
Typing Survey URL vs Scanning QR Code
| Feature | Theirs | Ours ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Access | Type long URL, prone to errors | Instant scan and access |
| Response Rate | Low (many don't bother) | 60% higher response rate |
| Time to Complete | Delayed (do it later, forget) | Immediate (scan and complete now) |
| Mobile Experience | Tedious URL typing on phone | Seamless mobile completion |
| Error Rate | High (typos in URL) | Zero errors |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not shortening the Google Form URL before creating QR code
✅ Solution: Use Google Forms' built-in 'Shorten URL' option when getting the link. Shorter URLs create simpler, more scannable QR codes. The shortened link (forms.gle/abc123) is much better than the long default URL.
Survey requires login or has restricted access
✅ Solution: Make sure your survey is set to 'Anyone with the link' (not restricted to your organization). Test the link in an incognito browser to verify anyone can access it without logging in.
QR code placement where people can't scan easily
✅ Solution: Place QR codes at eye level, on flat surfaces, and with good lighting. For table tents or receipts, make them at least 1.5x1.5 inches. Avoid placing them where hands are full or in awkward positions.
No incentive or context for completing the survey
✅ Solution: Add text near the QR code explaining what the survey is for and why they should complete it. Offer incentives (discount, prize entry, free item) to boost response rates significantly.

Open your Google Form, click the Send button, click the link icon, check 'Shorten URL', copy the shortened link (forms.gle/abc123), paste it in our generator, and download the QR code. Takes 30 seconds.
Do QR codes increase survey response rates?
Yes! QR codes can increase survey response rates by 60% or more. They remove the friction of typing URLs, making it instant and easy for people to participate. People are more likely to complete a survey when they can scan and start immediately.
Where should I display survey QR codes?
Put them on receipts, table tents, product packaging, event badges, store windows, email signatures, social media posts, presentation slides, and anywhere you want feedback. Make them prominent and easy to scan.
Can I track how many people scan my survey QR code?
Google Forms and most survey platforms show how many responses you received, but don't track QR scans specifically. For scan tracking, use a URL shortener with analytics (bit.ly, Rebrandly) before creating the QR code.
Will the QR code still work if I edit my Google Form?
Yes! You can edit questions, add sections, or change settings in your Google Form without affecting the QR code. The link stays the same. However, if you create a brand new form, you'll need a new QR code.
Should I use the shortened URL for my Google Form?
Absolutely! Always check 'Shorten URL' when getting your Google Form link. The shortened link (forms.gle/abc123) creates a simpler, cleaner QR code that's easier to scan than the long default URL.
Can I use QR codes for anonymous surveys?
Yes! Google Forms and most survey platforms support anonymous responses. Just don't enable 'Collect email addresses' in your form settings. QR codes don't track who scanned them, only how many responses your survey receives.
What if people don't have internet when they scan?
Surveys require internet access to load and submit. Place QR codes in locations where WiFi or cellular data is available. For events, provide guest WiFi. Avoid placing survey QR codes in areas without connectivity.
Can I use survey QR codes at restaurants?
Yes! Restaurant table tents with feedback survey QR codes are very common. Place them on tables, receipts, or near the exit. Offer incentives like '10% off next visit' to increase response rates significantly.
How do I get more people to complete my survey?
Keep surveys short (under 5 minutes), explain the purpose clearly, offer incentives (discounts, prize entries), display QR codes prominently, and ask at the right moment (after purchase, after service, while experience is fresh).
Can I use QR codes for event registration?
Absolutely! Create a Google Form for event registration with name, email, and other details. Put the QR code on event promotion materials, social media, or at the venue entrance. Much easier than typing registration URLs.
Do survey QR codes work for market research?
Yes! Market researchers use QR codes for product feedback, focus group recruitment, and consumer studies. They're especially effective in retail settings where you can capture feedback immediately after purchase.
Can I limit how many times someone can respond?
Yes, in Google Forms settings, enable 'Limit to 1 response' (requires Google sign-in). However, this makes surveys less anonymous. For truly anonymous surveys without limits, people can scan and respond multiple times.
What's the best size for a survey QR code on a table tent?
Minimum 1.5x1.5 inches for table tents or receipts. For displays where people scan from further away, use 2x2 inches or larger. Include clear text like 'Scan for Quick Feedback' or 'Scan to Win a Prize'.
