This is the link your NFC card will open when tapped. Get it right and your card works perfectly — every time.
Both work. Method B gives you the cleanest, shortest link — use it whenever you can.
Works for anyone. Open Google Maps, find the business, tap Write a Review, copy the URL. Done.
For business owners. Gives you a clean short link (g.page/r/.../review) that never breaks.
If you're the business owner, use Method B — the link is shorter, cleaner, and won't change if the business updates its Maps listing. If you're setting up a card for a client and they're not tech-savvy, just use Method A in front of them in 2 minutes.
Open the Maps app (or maps.google.com), find the business, tap Write a Review, and copy the URL. Works on any phone or computer. Takes 2 minutes.
maps.google.com on any browser.On mobile, scroll past the photos and action buttons — the Reviews section with the "Write a review" button is usually 3–4 scrolls down. On desktop, look for the star rating section on the left panel.
Google Maps review URLs can be 200+ characters. They'll still work on your NFC card as long as the card has enough storage (most do). If you get a "not enough memory" error, use Method B instead — it gives a short link.
For business owners who manage their Google listing. This gives you the shortest, cleanest review link — perfect for NFC cards. Takes 3 minutes to find.
business.google.com. Sign in with the Google account that owns the business listing.g.page/r/[code]/review. Copy it. This is the cleanest, most reliable review link you can get — use this for your NFC card.The g.page/r/... short link is Google's official "ask for review" URL. It's shorter (fits on any NFC card), always goes directly to the review form, and won't break even if the business updates its Maps listing or moves locations.
If you prefer mobile: open the Google Maps app → search your business → tap the "Business" tab → scroll to "Get more reviews" → Share. Same short link, same result.
Always test the link before you write it to the card. Takes 10 seconds.
A valid Google Review link opens to a page showing the business name, 5 empty stars to rate, and a text box saying "Describe your experience." That's exactly what your customer sees when they tap the NFC card.
This is rare — but it happens. Here's how to fix it fast and actually turn it into a bigger sale.
Search the business name + city on Google. If no Knowledge Panel or Maps pin appears — they have no listing yet. This is actually a sales opportunity, not a blocker.
Say: "Good news — you're not even on Google yet. That means zero reviews right now. We set you up and your first 5–10 reviews with this card will make you stand out immediately." This becomes your pitch upgrade.
Go to business.google.com → "Add your business" → fill in name, category, address. Google sends a verification postcard (arrives in 5–14 days) or sometimes verifies by phone/email immediately.
Once verified, return to Method B and get the review link. Program the card. This whole extra step takes 15–20 minutes of your time — charge accordingly.
Creating a Google Business Profile for a client takes about 20–30 minutes. Charge ₱500–₱1,500 as a "Google Setup Fee" on top of the NFC card price. Many owners don't know how to do this themselves — it's real value.
You can walk in, close the sale, program the card, and hand it over — all in one visit. Here's how.
Right after they say yes, say: "Can you pull up your Google Maps page real quick? I need your review link to program the card." Most business owners have their phone out already.
If they're busy or not tech-savvy, just ask for the business name and do Method A yourself on your phone. You don't need their login — Google Maps is public.
Save each client's name + review link in your Notes app. When they order more cards later (they will), you can program them instantly without asking again.
After programming, hand the card to the owner and say: "Tap it on your phone." When their own review page opens — that's the close. They'll want more cards immediately.
Before they agree to buy, pull out a demo card you pre-programmed with a real business (any café). Tap it on your phone in front of them. "This is what your customers see when they tap yours." That's your opener.
Tell them: "If you ever change your Google account or want to update anything, just bring the card back — it takes 60 seconds to reprogram." This builds loyalty and repeat business.
Now go program the card. Open NFC Tools, paste your link, and hold the card to your phone. Your NFC card is ready to make money.
