How to put a QR code on your truck
so people actually scan it.

A QR code on your truck can bring you customers every day, or it can be a square nobody touches. The difference comes down to five details.

  1. Choose where it goesDon't send it to your website unless it is a good one. The best destination is a profile with call, WhatsApp, your work and a quote button.
  2. Make it bigAt least 8 by 8 inches, and bigger on the tailgate. People scan it from the sidewalk, 6 to 10 feet away.
  3. Give it contrast and spaceA dark QR code on a white background, with a white margin around it. Never place it on a photo or a gradient.
  4. Add a line"Scan to see our work" or "Scan for a free quote". A QR code with no line gives no reason to scan it.
  5. Test it before wrappingPrint it on paper at full size, tape it to the truck and scan it with two different phones from the real distance.

Where to put it

  • On the tailgate, at eye level: it is what the car behind you sees at a red light.
  • On the sides, near the driver door: it is what people see when you are parked at a job site.
  • Never on tinted glass or on the roof.

So you never have to rewrap

Use a QR code that leads to a profile you can edit. If you change your phone number, services or offer, you change the profile and the truck stays the same. With BZLink.io the QR code is the same forever, and if you cancel your paid plan you move to Free and it keeps working.

Measure if it works

Your dashboard shows how many people scanned and which button they tapped. That tells you whether the truck brings you calls or whether you should change the line.

Questions

Quick answers

What size QR code should I put on a truck?

At least 8 by 8 inches. If it is on the tailgate and you want it read from another car, go bigger.

Can I put my logo in the center?

Yes, as long as the QR code has high error correction, like the ones from BZLink.io. Always test before wrapping.

Does reflective vinyl work?

Avoid it on the QR code: the glare can stop the camera from reading it. Use matte vinyl for the QR code.
