Setting up Deep Linking / redirect, or other for Google Maps links from Telegram (iOS and Android)
We need to solve the problem of transitioning clients from Telegram to the Google Maps review page (https://g.page/r/CQ9X-ksWWuciEAE/review).
Essence of the problem:
Currently, when clicking on the direct link to Google Maps (https://g.page/r/CQ9X-ksWWuciEAE/review) on our page.
in Telegram, users open the internal browser of the messenger. Since there is no saved Google authorization there, the system asks the user to log into their account. This raises suspicion among clients (similar to phishing) and critically reduces the conversion to reviews.
What needs to be done:
Implement a solution (through a redirect script, deep links, or a special proxy service) that, when clicking on the link in Telegram on smartphones, bypasses the internal browser and:
Immediately opens the official Google Maps app (on iOS and Android) on the page for writing a review for our company.
Or opens through the default system browser, where the user is already logged in.
If two separate links are needed for iOS and Android — we are ready to use that option.
Expected result:
The client receives an embedded link in Telegram that instantly opens the review window in the Google Maps app or in the smartphone's native browser without requiring login (if they were logged in there).
Budget and deadlines:
Cost: Please specify your price for completing this task turnkey.
Deadlines: Indicate how much time you will need for implementation and testing.

Good day! I am Petro from BotCraft Group, creating bots and turnkey redirect solutions.
The problem is clear: the built-in Telegram browser does not recognize your Google session, which is why it asks for login — it looks like phishing to the client and kills conversion. This can be solved with a small intermediary page on your domain that detects the device and leads further:
- Android: opens the native Google Maps (or system Chrome, where the person is already logged in) via an intent link;
- iOS: uses the Google Maps scheme with a fallback to Safari if the app is not available.
A person clicks the link in Telegram — and immediately sees the feedback window, without any account login. If it is more convenient to have two separate links for the two systems, we can do that as well.
In terms of stack, this is one lightweight HTML/JS file, without backend and server logic. I have already done similar transitions from messengers, testing on live iPhones and Android devices.
…
The turnkey price: 1000 UAH. Deadline: 1-2 days including testing on both systems.
One clarification, to avoid guessing: will you be able to place one file on your hosting/domain, or do you need a ready separate link that you can simply insert into Telegram?
I can quickly show you a working test transition so you can see how it looks before the solution.

Hello, I worked on redirects for mobile applications in a social media integration project - I set up automatic redirection from messengers to native apps, which increased conversion by 40%.
I wonder if you have considered using Universal Links for iOS and App Links for Android as an alternative to regular redirects? This could provide a smoother transition.
I suggest we get in touch; I will consult you for free on the technical side and we can create a development plan + I will tell you about my team!

1762 19 0 1 Hello, Adam!
We have experience with redirects, deep link mechanisms, and mobile app integrations. For your task, we can implement a separate intermediate page that will determine the user's device and redirect them to Google Maps or the system browser depending on the available capabilities of the platform.
Before launching the solution, we will also conduct testing on iOS and Android, as the behavior of Telegram and the mechanisms for opening external applications may vary depending on the device's operating system version and device settings.
After implementation, you will receive a ready link for use in Telegram broadcasts and messages to clients, as well as recommendations for the most stable opening scenario for maximum conversion to feedback.
After the project is completed, we provide 14 days of technical support and maintenance for the implemented solution.
…
We would be happy to discuss the details and offer the optimal implementation option.

321 Good day. I am well acquainted with this problem — the in-app browser of Telegram operates in a sandbox, so it does not recognize the user's authentication.
The most effective solution here is to create a small intermediary page. The user clicks in Telegram, lands on it, and the script instantly (within milliseconds) determines their OS (iOS or Android). Then, using Deep Links (intent links for Android and custom schemes for iOS), the client is automatically redirected to the native Google Maps app, where they are already authenticated and can leave a review with one click.
I can implement this functionality and take full responsibility for testing on various devices. The script can be hosted on a fast and free hosting service (for example, Cloudflare), so you won’t have to pay for a server. I am ready to discuss the details!

234 Hello! We have encountered similar tasks transitioning from Telegram to Google Maps. We can implement a solution through an intermediate page that detects the device and redirects to the Google Maps app or the system browser to minimize authorization issues and increase conversion to reviews. Before implementation, we will test options for iOS and Android and select the most stable working scenario. We have experience with deep links, redirects, and mobile browsers.

471 1 0 Hello!
My name is Andriy, I am a full-stack developer and automation specialist. I am well acquainted with this problem: the embedded Telegram browser indeed blocks sessions and user authorization, causing the conversion rate for reviews to drop to almost zero.
I know how to make links bypass the Telegram In-App Browser and open the Google Maps app or the smartphone's native browser (Safari/Chrome) directly through Deep Linking technology.
Here’s how I propose to solve the task:
Implementation through a universal deep link script (free proxy):
I will write a lightweight validator script (for example, in Node.js or PHP) and host it on your server (or a free service like Vercel).
…
How it will work for the client:
The user in Telegram clicks on the link.
The script instantly determines the operating system (iOS or Android).
Instead of opening a page, it sends a forced header (intent:/ for Android or the system protocol comgooglemaps:// for iOS) with your location ID CQ9X-ksWWuciEAE.
Result: The official Google Maps app opens for the client in a second directly on the "Leave a Review" window (5 stars).
You won’t have to pay for third-party paid redirect services monthly — the solution will be completely yours and autonomous.
I am ready to start right now so that your clients can conveniently leave reviews today. Message me privately, and we will discuss the details!
Best regards,
Andriy.

I will implement and test a technical solution for transitioning from Telegram to the Google Maps review page via a separate overlay/redirect with detection for iOS and Android, to guide the client as much as possible into Google Maps or the system browser.
Your main risk right now is that the client is already ready to leave a review, but the built-in Telegram browser shows the Google login, which looks like phishing, and the person simply closes the page?
Budget and deadlines will be discussed in personal correspondence after testing the current link on iOS and Android.

516 Hello, Adam!
To successfully resolve your task, please clarify:
1. Do you have a server or the ability to set up a proxy service?
2. Are you considering options involving third-party services for generating deep links?
3. What other messengers, besides Telegram, are used for distributing links?
My approach to solving this:
- First, I analyze the capabilities of deep links and redirects that allow bypassing the internal browser of Telegram.
… - Next, I develop a script that redirects users to the system browser or directly to Google Maps, depending on the platform (iOS/Android).
- I conduct testing on both platforms to ensure stability and convenience for users.
Result:
Clients will be able to easily leave feedback without being distracted by authorization, which will increase the conversion to feedback.
Regarding timelines: Implementation and testing will take about 3-5 days. The cost for completing this task turnkey is 1000 UAH.
Adam, please send your clarifications in private messages so we can quickly start working.
