NFC Review Cards for Contractors: Get Reviews Before You Leave the Job Site

For contractors, the job site is the best place to collect Google reviews — because once you drive away, the customer moves on. NFC review cards let you capture that 5-star review while the customer is standing next to their beautiful new deck, freshly fixed furnace, or spotless paint job.

The Contractor Review Problem

Contractors face a unique challenge with reviews:

• The customer is happiest right after the job is done
• Once you leave the site, 80% will never leave a review (even if they loved the work)
• Follow-up emails and texts have 3-8% conversion — too low
• Asking verbally "leave us a review on Google" requires too many steps for the customer to remember

NFC solves all of this. Hand the card to the homeowner. They tap. Review page opens. Done.

The On-Site NFC Strategy

Step 1: Carry the Card

Keep an NFC review card in your truck console, toolbox, or jacket pocket. It is credit-card sized and indestructible. No batteries, no charging, works forever.

Step 2: The Walk-Through

At the end of every job, do a walk-through with the homeowner. Show them the completed work. Answer any questions. This is standard practice — it also sets the stage for the review ask.

Step 3: The Ask

At the end of the walk-through, when the homeowner is satisfied: "I'm glad you are happy with the work. If you have a moment, tap this card with your phone — it opens our Google page and takes about 30 seconds."

Step 4: Watch Them Tap

Stay for the 30 seconds it takes. The homeowner taps, the review page opens, they type a few sentences. You thank them and leave. Review collected.

Why On-Site Reviews Win

NFC card on-site (tap at walk-through)	40-60%
Verbal ask ("leave a review")	5-10%
Follow-up email	3-8%
Follow-up text	8-15%
Invoice insert (paper)	1-3%
