Cafés serve hundreds of customers weekly but capture almost no reviews. NFC cards change that equation completely — here's how.
Read full articleEverything published here comes out of running review-collection hardware in real businesses — cafés, salons, garages, clinics, gyms, hotels and trades — across Canada. Each guide is written by a named member of our team, dated, and updated when Google changes how reviews influence local rankings. We publish the numbers we actually see: tap-to-review conversion rates, how many prompts it takes to earn one review, and which placements on a counter or table outperform the rest.
New to review marketing? Begin with what a Google review card is and how it works, then read how to ask customers for reviews naturally so your team has a script that never feels pushy. If you are choosing hardware, the NFC vs QR comparison and review cards vs review stands settle it with conversion data rather than opinion.
Google's policies matter as much as tactics. Our guides on review gating, whether review cards are allowed by Google and protecting your business from fake reviews explain what is safe, what risks a listing suspension, and how to respond when a competitor or bad actor targets your profile. Ready to put it into practice? Browse our NFC review cards or ask our team which setup fits your counter.
