Automated Review Request System for Small Business: TapTrust NFC Cards
TapTrust is an NFC review collection system that automates Google review requests by turning physical business cards into tap-activated smart profiles that prompt customers to leave reviews instantly.
How TapTrust automates review collection
Rather than sending generic SMS or email requests, TapTrust embeds the review prompt directly into an NFC business card. When a customer taps the card on their phone, your smart profile loads instantly, displaying your business details, contact options, and a one-tap Google review button. The system works across iOS and Android with no app download required from the customer. Each tap is tracked in real time with location data, so you see exactly which customers engaged and when. The review itself goes through Google's verification system, ensuring all reviews are genuine and posted to your verified Google Business Profile.
Lead capture built into every tap
Every NFC card tap is an opportunity to capture contact details. When a customer taps your card, they can optionally fill in a lead capture form (name, email, phone) before leaving a review. Those leads are collected in real time and available to export as CSV on the Business+ tier, making it simple to follow up with interested prospects. Small teams can assign leads to different team members via the dashboard. For freelancers and solo operators, the lead history is stored securely and can be reviewed whenever needed. This turns a simple business card into a two-way engagement tool: you get the review you need, and they share their contact if interested.
Tap analytics and streak rewards
TapTrust tracks every tap, showing you how many times your card was engaged, where those taps happened, and what time of day they occurred. This data helps you understand which networking events, retail locations, or handoff moments are most effective. The app includes a streak bonus system: customers who leave reviews accumulate streaks and earn monthly reward credits, encouraging repeat engagement. These credits can be used to purchase additional NFC cards or upgrade features. For small businesses running multiple locations or a team, seeing tap hotspots helps you allocate effort and inventory to the moments that matter most.
Pricing tiers for solo operators and teams
TapTrust offers a free tier with 3 reviews per month and 1 profile, perfect for testing. Plus tier (£24.99 yearly) unlocks 3 profiles, unlimited review requests, and £2 monthly credit for new cards. Pro tier (£49.99 yearly) adds 5 profiles, NFC tag writing (re-program your own physical tags), and £5 credit. Business+ tier adds lead export, custom domain, and team management with Stripe billing. Enterprise plans include white label branding and contact sales directly. As of June 2026, most small businesses start with Plus and scale to Pro once they see consistent tap engagement and want to manage multiple customer touchpoints.
NFC cards vs. traditional review request methods
Email and SMS review requests suffer from low open rates and friction. A printed NFC business card is impossible to ignore: it's tangible, memorable, and the tap is instant. Customers don't need to remember a URL, type a search, or navigate a menu. Your Google review prompt appears the moment they tap. Because the card is physical, it creates a moment of connection (at the till, during a handshake, at a networking event) that drives higher completion rates than a cold email. TapTrust eliminates the gap between the interaction and the request, turning warm moments into verified reviews.
Industries using TapTrust for review automation
TapTrust works across any customer-facing sector. Estate agents, mortgage brokers, and property teams use it at viewings and open houses. Restaurants and cafes hand out cards at the till. Salons and gyms place cards at reception or with staff. Freelancers and creatives hand them out at events and meetings. Retail teams use them to convert foot traffic into reviews. Agencies and consultants use TapTrust as their primary digital business card, combining networking with lead capture. The common thread: any business that values verified Google reviews and wants to reduce the friction between a positive customer experience and a public review.

Frequently asked questions
Is TapTrust an automated review generator?
No. TapTrust automates the request process and makes it frictionless, but every review goes through Google's verification system. Only real customers can leave genuine reviews on your Google Business Profile.
Do customers need to download an app to tap the card?
No. iOS and Android phones have built-in NFC readers. A customer simply taps the card on their phone, and your smart profile and review prompt load instantly in their browser.
Can I reprogram NFC cards myself?
Yes, on Pro tier and above. The NFC tag writing feature lets you reprogram physical cards to link to different profiles or update the destination URL without ordering new cards.
What happens to the lead capture data?
On Plus tier and above, leads are stored in your dashboard. Business+ tier lets you export them as CSV and assign them to team members for follow up.
How much do NFC cards cost?
Card printing is separate from the app subscription. TapTrust provides the smart profile and analytics; you can order NFC cards from print suppliers (typically £0.10-0.50 per card depending on quantity and finish).
Can I see where and when customers tap my card?
Yes. Real-time tap analytics show location, timestamp, and whether a lead or review was captured, helping you understand which moments and places drive the most engagement.
