How it works
How NFC review signs work
An NFC review sign removes every step between a happy customer and a published Google review. No app to download, no QR code to line up, nothing to type.

Ongoing cost
You buy the sign once. There is no subscription to keep it working.
Three steps, and two of them are ours
Your review link goes on the chip
Each sign holds an NTAG215 chip, the same kind used for contactless payment. We write your Google Business Profile review URL to it, lock the chip so nobody can overwrite it, and tap-test every unit on a real phone before it ships.
Nothing for you to install or configure.
The customer taps
They hold the top of their phone near the sign. A notification appears, they tap it, and your review form opens in the browser they already use, signed into the Google account they already have.
About three seconds, start to finish.
The reviews arrive
Every review lands on your public Google listing — no filtering, no gating, nothing that breaks Google policy.
Your listing, your reviews, no middleman.
The arithmetic of asking every day
One review a week is unremarkable. A year of one review a week is a rating no competitor catches up with quickly, because Google shows how recent your reviews are as well as how many.
What a few taps a week adds up to
Move the slider to your own guess. This is arithmetic, not a promise — what you actually get depends on footfall and whether staff mention the sign.

Frequently asked questions
- Do customers need an app to use an NFC review sign?
- No. NFC reading is built into iPhone 7 and later and into every modern Android phone. The customer holds their phone near the sign and the review page opens in their normal browser.
- Where do I find my Google review link?
- You usually don’t need to. Type your business name and we find it on Google, show you its name, address and rating, and build the review link once you confirm it is yours. You can also paste the link from your Google Business Profile under "Ask for reviews".
- Can I change the link later?
- No, and that is on purpose. Before a sign ships, we lock its NFC chip with a password that stays in our secure records and is never printed, shared or shown to anyone. Without that lock, a stranger with a free phone app could rewrite your sign in seconds and send your customers to a fake review page, a scam site or a competitor. Locked, nobody can change what your sign opens: not a passer-by, not a bad actor, and not by accident.
- What if I want to programme the tags myself?
- Order the blank, unprogrammed tags. They ship with nothing written to them, ready for you to encode in store. This is what most agencies and resellers choose.
- Does this violate Google review policies?
- Making it easier for a customer to find your review form is fine. Offering incentives in exchange for a review, or filtering who gets asked, is not. These products simply shorten the path to the review form.
- How long does delivery take?
- Every chip is encoded and tested by hand, which takes one to two business days, then ships. Shipping is free on every order.
