QR codes for tradespeople

One code on the van, the job sheet and the invoice can each do a different job — or the same code can follow your customer from first glance to review.

Paste a link first

Van graphics

Wraps are expensive to change. Link to a stable page that lists services, areas covered and a phone number — or a dynamic MrURL link if you expect the URL to move. Print the code large on the rear door or sides; bonnets are often too curved for easy scans.

Quote and job documents

Paper quotes and completion notes can carry a code that opens:

  • A “request a quote” form on your site.
  • A gallery of recent work that builds trust after the visit.
  • Your guarantee or care instructions PDF.

MrURL does not store quotes or signatures; it only sends the scan to the link you choose.

Review requests

After a good job, point the code at your Google review link (see the Google reviews page for how to copy it). A sticker on the van is passive; a code on the invoice works while the work is fresh in mind.

Steps

  1. Decide what each placement should achieve — enquiry, proof of work or review.
  2. Use the maker for static codes, or create a dynamic link in the app when the destination might change.
  3. Test from three metres for van codes and from arm’s length for paperwork.
  4. On Pro or Business, check visit counts later to see whether the van or the invoice gets more scans.

Test before you print

A QR code is cheap to make and expensive to fix once it is on a van or a thousand menus. Check it while you still have time to change the file.

  1. Scan the code on your phone using the normal camera app, not a screenshot of the design.
  2. Open the link on mobile data as well as Wi‑Fi, in case your shop network behaves differently.
  3. Check the page loads quickly, is readable on a small screen, and does not need a login your customer will not have.
  4. If you used a frame with a call to action, read the wording aloud once. “Scan for menu” is clearer than “Scan me”.
  5. Print one proof copy at the size you will use in production, then scan that printout from a normal distance.

If the destination might change, make a free static code for today’s link and consider a dynamic MrURL link before you run a large print job.

Want to change where this goes after printing?

Van livery lasts years. A dynamic code keeps quote requests and review links current when your web page or Google profile changes.
