Guide readers from your back matter straight to the review page
A back matter review page is a simple, hosted page that sits between your book and Amazon. It gives readers one clear path to the review form — routed to their local store, no searching required.
Get started freeMost readers who want to review don't follow through
The back matter ask works. Readers finish a book and want to leave a review. What breaks the chain is everything that happens after the ask: the wrong store, the confusing UI, the too-many-steps path that makes them give up before they get there.
A page that does the hard part for them
Instead of dropping readers on Amazon with no guidance, ReviewLinker's back matter page gives them one instruction and one button. It handles the routing, the store detection, and the navigation — so readers don't have to figure anything out.

The full reader journey
From the last page of your book to a posted review — every step.
Reader finishes your book
They loved it. They'd leave a review if they knew how — and if getting there didn't feel like work.
They scan your QR code or tap your link
Your back matter has a short sentence and a scannable code or link. One action, no typing.
They land on your back matter review page
A simple, focused page with a single purpose: get them to the Amazon review form. Clear instruction, one button.
ReviewLinker routes them to their local store
They're taken directly to the review form on their local Amazon. UK readers to amazon.co.uk, US to .com, and so on.
They leave a review
No friction. No confusion. The path from your back matter to a posted review is as short as it can be.

Common questions
How do I add a review page to my book's back matter?
Create your book in ReviewLinker and copy the back matter review page link. For Kindle, paste it as a clickable URL in your final pages. For paperbacks, pair it with a QR code.
Is asking for reviews in my back matter allowed by Amazon?
Yes. Amazon allows authors to ask readers for honest reviews. The rules prohibit incentivising reviews (offering payment, gifts, or discounts), but a straightforward ask in your back matter is permitted.
What does the back matter review page actually look like?
It's a simple, clean page with your book title, a short prompt, and a clear button that takes readers to their local Amazon review form. Designed to work well on a phone screen.
Is it different from just linking directly to Amazon?
Yes. A direct Amazon link drops the reader on a product or review page with no context. The back matter page gives them a clear instruction and a single action — which helps readers who aren't sure how to leave a review.
Does it work for both Kindle and paperback?
Yes. For Kindle books you use the tappable link. For paperbacks you use the QR code. Both lead to the same guided review page.
Can I customise the page?
The page uses your book title automatically. Full custom branding is a Pro feature.
