How to use the Google Business Review cards.

This quick guide will walk you through how to use these innovative cards.

What You Need: An NFC-enabled smartphone (Most modern smartphones are equipped with NFC capabilities).

1. Enable NFC on Your Smartphone:

For Android Devices:

  • Go to "Settings" on your phone.

  • Find and select "Connected devices" or "Connection preferences," depending on your device model.

  • Look for "NFC" or "NFC and payment." Toggle the switch to the ON position.

For iOS Devices (iPhone 7 and later): NFC is enabled by default for reading NFC tags; no action is required.

2. Using the NFC Card:

  • Unlock your smartphone. NFC reading will not work if the device is locked. Ensure that the smartphone shows the home screen and that no other apps are on the screen. Otherwise, the NFC will not work.

  • Place the back of your smartphone near the NFC tag on the review card. The NFC chip is typically located at the centre or top of your smartphone.

  • Wait for a notification to appear. This may take a few seconds.

  • Tap the notification to be directed to the Google Business review page.

3. Leave Your Review:

  • Once on the Google Business page, you can rate your experience and write a review.

Note for Android Users:

·        Some Android devices may not recognize NFC chips for various reasons, such as:

·        NFC is disabled in the phone's settings.

·        The smartphone's case is too thick or has metal components.

·        The device's NFC sensor is not aligned with the NFC tag on the card.

·        The smartphone model does not support NFC.

Troubleshooting Tips:

·        Ensure NFC is enabled on the device.

·        Remove any thick or metallic cases temporarily.

·        Try aligning different areas of your phone with the NFC tag on the card.

·        Refer to your device's manual for specific NFC sensor locations.

If The Device Does Not Recognize the NFC Chip:

It's possible that the smartphone might not be compatible with NFC tags, or there might be a temporary issue preventing the NFC from reading the tag. Please use the QR code provided alongside the NFC tag as an alternative way to access the Google Business review page.

You can ask for customer reviews now that you understand how these cards work.
