How to Set Up Your Google Review NFC Card (Complete Guide)

Setting up your NFC review card shouldn't be complicated. Whether you're using our premium Niagara Stands Out cards or trying to configure a competitor's "Tap Tag," follow these exact steps to start getting 5-star reviews instantly.

Step 1: Get Your Google Review Link

This is the most critical step. Your card needs to point directly to the review pop-up, not just your business profile.

1. Search for your business on Google.
2. Scroll to your business profile and click "Get more reviews" or "Ask for reviews".
3. Copy the short URL provided (it usually looks like https://g.page/r/YOUR_ID/review).

Step 2: Program Your NFC Card

If you bought your card from Niagara Stands Out, we do this for you! But if you're setting up a blank card or a Tap Tag:

1. Download an NFC Tools app (available on iOS and Android).
2. Open the app and select Write > Add a record.
3. Choose URL/URI and paste your Google Review link.
4. Tap Write and hold your phone near the card to finish.

Step 3: Test and Deploy

Hold your phone about 1-2 inches from the chip. If the review window pops up immediately, you're ready to dominate your local market!

Pro Tip: Don't just hand the card to customers. Say: "We're a local Niagara business—if you had a great experience, could you give this card a quick tap and let Google know?"
