What is a Google Review Card?

A Google review card is a tool that helps businesses collect more customer reviews by providing a quick and easy way for customers to leave feedback. These cards use a scannable QR code and/or embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to send customers directly to your business's Google review page. 

How Google review cards work
Instead of having a customer search for your business to leave a review, the cards streamline the process. 

For NFC cards: A customer simply taps their NFC-enabled smartphone on the card. This instantly opens the direct review page on their phone.

For QR code cards: The customer uses their phone's camera to scan the QR code printed on the card. This works on any smartphone with a camera, including older devices without NFC capabilities.
