Get a Free QR Code for Your Business or Attraction

A free QR code for your business, whether or not Mapzest has a map for your area yet.

Every business and community organisation on Mapzest automatically gets its own Mapzest Connect page - a branded, always up to date page that opens when someone scans your QR code or taps your link. It shows your opening hours, contact details, directions, offers, upcoming events and social links, all pulled live from your listing.

And it's completely free for independent businesses and community organisations to set up and use.

Free for independent businesses and community organisations

We built Mapzest Connect to help the independent pubs, shops, cafés, activity providers, venues and community groups that make a destination worth visiting - not just the businesses with the budget for a marketing platform. If that's you, there's no cost to create your listing, no cost for your Connect page and no cost for your QR code.

It's part of the same commitment behind making Mapzest itself free for eligible independents - more places, more events, more reasons for visitors to discover what's on their doorstep.

No map in your area yet? You can still get set up.

You don't need to wait until Mapzest has full map coverage where you are. Create your listing, add your links, set your opening hours and your Mapzest Connect page and QR code are ready shortly after - independent of whether your area has an interactive map yet.

That means you can start using your QR code on signage, packaging and marketing straight away, and as Mapzest's map coverage reaches your area, your listing is already in place and ready to be discovered.

A t-shirt can't hold your website, your socials, your opening hours and your events - a QR code can.

There's a limit to how much you can print on branding and merchandise before it stops working. A t-shirt covered in a website address, three social handles and a strapline looks cluttered, and every word on it is fixed the moment it's printed.

A single QR code takes up almost no space and can say something specific - "See our upcoming events", "Get directions", "View our menu" - while the page behind it can hold everything a text-heavy design never could. Change what's happening and the code doesn't need reprinting, because it was never the destination, just the door.

That's the real advantage over cramming details directly onto branded media - one small, clean code stays accurate and useful for as long as the print survives, on a t-shirt, a tote bag or anything else you put it on.
