How Google Review Cards work

With a range of review cards, plates, and desk stands, perfect for any business setting, each is embedded with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, making it effortless for customers to leave reviews.

You’ve likely used NFC yourself, when unlocking a hotel room, making contactless payments with a bank card, or using Google Pay or Apple Pay on your smartphone.

With a simple tap on your business’s review card, customers are instantly directed to your Google review page - no searching and no hassle. It’s fast, seamless, and incredibly easy.

Psychology of Customer Reviews

Why Review Cards Work

The Psychology

Getting Reviews is Hard - Most businesses struggle with this. Even happy, well-intentioned customers forget to leave reviews. They simply move on with their day.

The Psychology of Customer Reviews - People are most likely to leave a review when the experience is fresh and the request is frictionless.

At that moment, customers are already feeling positive. They’re in a state of cognitive ease, where making a quick decision feels natural. A well-timed request and offer to tap a review card takes advantage of this, making the action feel effortless rather than a chore.

Strategically placed review cards work on the principle of Passive Influence. A subtle, non-intrusive nudge that keeps the idea of leaving a review top of mind. This triggers impulse-driven behaviour, leveraging the principle of Availability - if the opportunity to act is easy and obvious, people are far more likely to engage.

AI-Powered Smart Replies​

Getting reviews is just the first step – how you respond matters just as much.
Most businesses don’t reply, and that’s a huge missed opportunity.

Customers notice when you respond – and Google does too.

Businesses that engage with their reviews tend to rank higher, build credibility, and attract more customers.

The Business Boost Plan includes AI-powered Smart Replies – a feature that automatically writes and publishes friendly, personalised responses to each review.
Your business stays active and professional on Google, without adding to your workload.

The best part? Google rewards this kind of engagement.

Pro Boost
Protect Your Reputation

Review Shield

Included with Pro Boost

Not every negative review comes from a bad customer.
Often, it’s someone who cares about your business and simply wants to be heard, without making a fuss.

Review Shield gives customers the option to share negative feedback privately instead of posting publicly. It creates a safe space for honest communication and helps resolve concerns before they escalate.

This leads to more satisfied customers, fewer surprises, and real opportunities to improve your service.

And when a public review does come in – good or bad – our AI responds with a professional, reputation-enhancing reply. A well-crafted response builds trust, shows accountability, and can even turn a critical review into a reason new customers choose you.

Because your Google rating directly affects your search visibility, Review Shield doesn’t just protect your reputation, it helps you stay visible, competitive, and trusted.

And the more active your profile, the more often you’ll show up in local search results – right when customers are looking.

Stay visible. Stay competitive. Let your best reviews do the heavy lifting.

✅ Review Cards

Who is this for?

For all customer-facing businesses that want to get noticed by Google and rank higher in local search results.

If you’re the only Pie Shop in town, without much competition, a few Review Cards may be all you need to help you ask for and get more reviews. This helps Google notice you and place your business at the top of local Pie-related searches.

If you’re in a more competitive market – one of many Pie Shops in town – then you should definitely look at our Business Boost and Pro Boost services.

✅ Business Boost

Who is this for?

Ideal if you’re not the only Pie Shop in town, you need to up your search ranking against the others, and you’re serving a steady stream of customers every day.

When reviews are coming in thick and fast, replying to each one manually becomes a chore. This plan is for businesses that need to stay on top of replies without spending a lot of time or money on the task.

Perfect for cafés, takeaways, salons, and other high-volume businesses in competitive areas.

If you only serve one or two clients a week, like a consultant or roofer, you might be fine replying to a few reviews yourself. But if you are in a competitive market, take a serious look at Pro Boost – that’s where the rubber really hits the road.

✅ Pro Boost

Who is this for?

For businesses facing stiff competition, especially against big-budget players.

Pro Boost goes beyond collecting reviews – it amplifies your presence where it counts. By hitting key signals Google looks for, like fresh content, consistent local activity, and customer engagement, it helps drive higher rankings, greater visibility, and more trust.

Review Shield also plays a vital role, helping protect your reputation by limiting the impact of negative reviews.

If you’re serious about standing out in search, building authority, and turning reputation into real results, Pro Boost delivers the return you’re looking for.
