Google reviews with NFC
NFC plaques for Google reviews, with a link you can change
Do you make NFC stands and plaques for bars, restaurants and shops? With ReTag each venue gets its own link: you write it once into the tags, and if something changes you update it from the dashboard, without touching the plaques already delivered.
The problem: the plaque always leads to the same place
If you write the review link straight into the tag, it stays there forever. The venue changes name or owner, opens a second location, wants reviews on TripAdvisor or Booking: the plaques on the counter and the tables still lead to the old address, and have to be remade or reprogrammed one by one.
How it works
- 01
One link per venue
In the dashboard you create a ReTag link and paste the venue's review link.
- 02
Write it into all its plaques
Counter, tables, window: every plaque of that venue has the same address. You write it once, with a free app.
- 03
Update it when needed
Change the destination in seconds and it applies at once to every plaque of the venue, even those delivered months ago.
Why it pays off for sellers
Show your customer it works
For each link you see how often the plaque gets tapped, day by day. A real number to show the venue.
The owner can log in and look
Invite the venue's owner by email: they see only their links and, if you allow it, can change them themselves. It's free for them.
No plaques to remake
If the venue changes Google listing or platform, you update the link. The plaques stay where they are.
An address that stays theirs
The address of a deleted link is never given to anyone else: a plaque already delivered will never end up on someone else's page.
Where to find the review link
- 1The owner opens the venue's Google Business Profile (from Google Maps or by searching the venue's name) and picks the option to ask customers for reviews.
- 2Google shows a short link to share: copy it.
- 3Paste it as the destination of the venue's ReTag link and test the plaque with a phone.
Tips for the plaque
- 1Add a QR code with the same link for phones without NFC: ReTag already generates it, ready to print.
- 2Write a clear call, for example "Tap your phone and leave us a review".
- 3Use NTAG213, 215 or 216 tags and cover them with a few layers of plastic, under a millimetre.
- 4Keep the plaque away from metal, which disturbs reading: no metal base under the tag.
- 5Place it where customers have their phone in hand and a few seconds to spare: near the till or on the table, at the end of the meal.
Frequently asked questions
Does the customer need an app?
No. Recent iPhones and almost all Android phones read NFC tags on their own: a notification with the link appears. On Android, NFC must be on; for everyone else there's the QR code.
Can I use the same link on every plaque of a venue?
Yes, that's the recommended way: one link per venue, written into all its plaques.
How much does it cost if I work with several venues?
The Base plan includes 10 links, so up to 10 venues, and 3 customers with access, at €5 a month. With Premium links and customers with access are unlimited, at €10 a month.
Can I send unhappy customers to a form instead of Google?
We advise against it: Google forbids filtering who leaves reviews and may remove them or penalise the venue's listing. You can change the link for reasons like another platform, a new location or a promotion, but it works the same way for every customer.
What happens to the plaques if the venue closes or is no longer your customer?
You can pause the link or delete it: whoever taps the plaque sees a "Link not available" page. The address will never be given to anyone else.
