For many local business owners looking to get more reviews from customers, grow their ranking on maps, getting the reviews flowing is a problem that could be difficult to solve.

This is why smart business owners use Google Review Cards- NFC or QR-powered tools that make leaving a review as easy as simply tapping or scanning. Having these cards will help you boost your review velocity and get your map rankings to the roof.

Let’s get straight to the types of Google Review cards you can use to grow your business in 30 days.

Google Review Card Stand — Your Always Visible Review Station

This is a contactless NFC card designed to stand at your desk or office on a flat surface. This can be conveniently placed at your reception desk, making it easy for customers to drop you a review when a service is rendered.

This type of card is not easily handy for tradesmen who are always on the move like Locksmiths or Plumbers, as it is designed to stand on a flat surface.

However, it looks great with a lot of dentists, restaurants, clinics, garages, or any business with an office desk, finding them to be very useful and effective.

Why it works: always visible, easy to use, and integrates naturally at checkout.

NFC Google Review Cards

These review cards are portable and more like a business card-sized NFC card, making them easy for mobile teams or technicians and generally home-visit type of services. This will work great for locksmiths, electricians, plumbers, and home-visit services.

If you are a local business owner or a technician who is always on the move, this would be a great option for you to get more reviews when you complete your jobs and boost your map rankings or search visibility.

Staff can hand them out after every job to encourage instant reviews.

NFC Tiles or Table Coins, Built Into the Customer Space

These are often small, stylish and discreet Google Review cards that can be easily attached to tables, mirrors, or walls. In most cases, this is preferred by cafes, restaurants so customers can leave while on-site, enjoying their meal or drink.

This type of card does not occupy space on tables, as most restaurants, of course, look to optimise their table space.

Best for: cafés, restaurants, and salons with seated customers.

NFC Phone Tags — Reviews On the Go

These are mostly attached to the staff phone. They are stickers attached to phones, making it easy for customers to simply tap, get a review link and drop awesome reviews. They ensure no missed opportunity, and your team always has a review link handy.

Best for: field staff, bar staff, or consultants who interact directly with clients.

NFC Keyrings — Take the Review Home

These are very smart ways for businesses like car washes, gyms to attract reviews from customers even while they are away from their premises. The branded key fobs remind customers to review even after they’ve left. They double as practical gifts and long-term brand reminders.

Best for: car services, gyms, real estate agents, or subscription-based businesses.

These are used on windows for passers-by to scan or tap and leave reviews. When combined with a bundle of review stands, cards, and tiles, you can optimise your chances of getting maximum coverage for your business, attract more reviews and boost your map rankings.

You should be careful with this, as passers-by who are not customers and have ill intentions could drop negative reviews for your business.

Best for: any shopfront business that wants to turn every customer touchpoint into a review opportunity.

Now that you know the different types of Google review cards, here are the most frequently asked questions from business owners who want to start using them.

How do Google review cards for business actually work?

Google review cards are linked directly to your business’s unique review URL. When a customer taps an NFC chip or scans a QR code, they are then taken to your Google Business review page, where they can share their experience.

Google review cards generally remove friction, making it easy for local business owners to attract more reviews to their business. Many businesses see a 20–50% increase in reviews within the first month.

How do you make a Google review tap card that customers actually use?

To create a Google Review Tap Card, you need to first purchase an NFC-enabled blank card. Program the card with your link  (using a free NFC app), and that should be it.  Once this is done, you will be able to present your review card to customers to drop you a review.

Ideally, when you buy the review from us, it comes with easy-to-install instructions.

How do you make an NFC card for Google reviews in a few simple steps?
