Place ID Extraction
The tool detects direct Place IDs, query_place_id values and common Maps URL patterns.
Google Business Profile identity and Place ID verification
Google Place IDFinder
Extract a Google Place ID from a known ID or Maps URL, identify when only a CID or ambiguous branch signal is available, and generate review-link-ready outputs with a verification score before using the identifier in emails, QR codes, schema or review workflows.
Purpose
Use The Correct Google Profile Before Asking For Reviews
A wrong Place ID can send customers to the wrong branch, a duplicate listing, an old profile or a competitor. This tool checks identifier quality before review links, QR codes, widgets or schema are built from it.
CID And URL Triage
If a Maps URL exposes only a CID or feature ID, the tool flags that it is not a confirmed Place ID.
Review Link Output
When a valid Place ID is present, the tool creates a Google review link and a Maps verification URL.
Identification Risk Score
The score weighs duplicates, branch ambiguity, missing address, service-area profiles and evidence gaps.
Why it matters
Place ID Errors Create Review, Schema And Evidence Problems
Google identifiers are operational evidence. They should be verified before public review requests, printed QR codes, structured data or platform escalation materials are published.
Wrong branch
Multi-location brands can accidentally route reviews to the wrong location.
Duplicate profile
Old, merged or duplicate profiles can split reviews and create reporting confusion.
CID confusion
A CID or feature ID can identify a Maps entity but is not the same as a Place ID review-link parameter.
Unverified profile
Using a stale or unverified listing can weaken evidence and customer trust.

Extract, Verify And Score A Google Place Identifier
Paste a known Place ID, Google Maps URL, review URL or business search context. The tool extracts identifiers, creates safe next links where possible and scores whether the ID should be verified before use.
This browser-side tool parses and scores identifiers from information you provide. It does not call the Google Places API, verify live Google data, guarantee that a CID is convertible to a Place ID, create legal advice or replace manual verification on the live Google profile.
Business rule
How The Place ID Verification Score Is Calculated
The score starts with identifier quality, then adds business ambiguity, intended use, governance gaps and sensitivity. It reduces risk only when live-profile verification, matching records, duplicate checks, screenshots and test publication are present.
- A direct Place ID is stronger than a CID, shortened Maps URL or search result URL.
- Multi-location brands need branch-level verification before generating review links or QR codes.
- Printed QR codes and website schema deserve stricter checks because mistakes persist publicly.
- A CID can be useful evidence, but it should not be treated as a confirmed Place ID review-link parameter.
- Screenshots and live-profile checks improve the evidence trail before review request distribution.
Governance
What To Verify Before Using A Google Place ID
Treat the Place ID as a controlled identifier used across review links, emails, QR codes, badges, widgets, schema and evidence files.
Open The Live Profile
Check name, address, phone, website, category and review button on Google.
Confirm The Branch
Match the location against internal branch records, not just the public display name.
Check Duplicates
Search for old, merged, practitioner, department and duplicate listings before publishing.
Save Evidence
Capture screenshots of the profile, Maps URL, review path and date of verification.
Test The Link
Open the generated review link in a clean browser before adding it to email, QR or website assets.
Control Reuse
Do not reuse one Place ID across branches, franchisees or service-area profiles without review.
Score interpretation
How To Read The Place ID Risk Score
0-25
Low identifier risk. The Place ID appears usable after routine live-profile verification.
26-45
Managed verification. The ID may be used after checking branch details, duplicates or screenshots.
46-65
Manual verification required. Do not publish until a person verifies the live profile and review path.
66-100
Hold identifier use. Do not send, print or publish until ambiguity, duplicate or governance issues are resolved.
