What changed with g.page
The exact wording, from Google.
Don’t take our word for it. Google’s own help page is the source of truth.
“Important: You can no longer create or edit short names. Short names and URLs that already exist will still work but will no longer be shown on the Business Profile to customers.”
— Google Business Profile Help, article 9273900
Two consequences for any business that didn’t register a short name in time:
- The free
g.page/yourbusinesspath is closed. Existing short names are grandfathered — they keep redirecting — but no one new can register or edit one through Google Business Profile. The dashboard option is gone. - The long Google review URL is your only Google-issued option left.
It looks like
search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ.... You cannot say it out loud, you cannot fit it on a thermal-printed receipt, and a QR code generated from it scans correctly but exposes a long opaque URL when a customer hovers or screenshots it.
BigLove fills the gap with a third-party short link
(biglove.to/your-business) that redirects to the same canonical review
form Google uses. You own the slug for as long as you keep the subscription, and
you can change the destination later without reprinting any QR you’ve already
distributed.

Common questions
Things people actually ask.
- Can I still use my existing g.page short name?
- Yes. Google's official help page (article 9273900) states: "Short names and URLs that already exist will still work but will no longer be shown on the Business Profile to customers." If you registered a g.page short name before Google closed the registration window, the URL keeps redirecting to your review page. Google just stopped surfacing it on your public profile and stopped letting anyone create new ones.
- Why can't I create a new g.page link?
- Google ended new short-name registrations on Google Business Profile. The official wording (Google Help article 9273900) is: "You can no longer create or edit short names." Existing short names are grandfathered; new businesses cannot get one through the Business Profile dashboard. There is no appeal process and no workaround inside the Google product.
- What's the difference between a g.page short name and a biglove.to slug?
- Both are short URLs that redirect to the same canonical Google review form. g.page was free and managed inside Google Business Profile; biglove.to is an independent paid service ($37/year annual or $4/month) that you control end-to-end. With biglove.to you can change the destination later without reprinting QR codes, see real-time click analytics on the Pro tier, and use the same slug for Trustpilot if you want it. The customer experience after clicking is identical: a single redirect to the Google review page.
- Will my QR code work on receipts, table cards, and door stickers?
- Yes. Every BigLove link comes with a coral QR card downloadable as PNG or SVG, printable at any size. We use error-correction level H (30% tolerance), which keeps the QR scannable even with the brand heart at the center. The QR has been tested on thermal-print receipts where ink density varies, on table cards, on door stickers, and on packaging. It scans straight to your Google review form with no intermediate screens.
- Is biglove.to compliant with Google's review rules?
- Yes. BigLove is a single-hop redirect from biglove.to/your-business to the canonical Google review URL (search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=...). We do not gate negative reviews, never solicit five-star ratings, never pre-screen customers based on satisfaction. Google's review policy prohibits those practices, and BigLove is compliant by design. The same stance covers FTC (US), CMA (UK), ACCC (Australia), and Commerce Commission (NZ) rules on review manipulation.
