Independent Contractor Review Collection with TapTrust NFC Cards
TapTrust is an NFC customer-engagement platform that lets independent contractors collect Google reviews and capture leads through a single smart tap card, eliminating manual review requests and follow-up friction.
What TapTrust Does for Freelancers and Contractors
TapTrust by MRVL Technologies combines a digital business card with instant Google review collection. When a client taps your NFC card on their phone, your contact details and a review prompt load instantly. They leave a verified Google review without navigating away or signing up. Every tap is logged with location data and timestamp, so you know exactly when and where customers engaged with your card. The platform captures lead information automatically, building a database you can export later. For contractors juggling multiple client touchpoints, this reduces the barrier between service delivery and the review that builds your reputation.
How NFC Cards Work for Review Collection
NFC (near-field communication) is a wireless standard built into every modern smartphone. Your TapTrust card contains a tiny chip that broadcasts your profile. When a client taps their phone to the card, the connection is instant and requires no app pre-installation on their end. Your smart profile loads in their browser, displays your credentials, and prompts them to leave a Google review. The entire flow takes under 10 seconds. On the Pro tier and above, you can re-program your own NFC tags and update card content without reprinting. This flexibility is critical for contractors who want to test different messaging or adjust their CTA based on tap analytics.
Lead Capture and Analytics
Every tap generates a real-time record: location, timestamp, device type, and optionally contact details if the customer fills your lead capture form. This data is visible in your TapTrust dashboard and can be exported as CSV on the Business+ tier. For independent contractors, this means you can track which clients or project sites generate the most engagement, identify geographic patterns, and measure the ROI of your cards in different locations. TapTrust also shows you which profiles perform best, so you can optimise messaging or card placement over time.
Verified Reviews and Streak Bonuses
TapTrust integrates with Google's review system. Every review collected through TapTrust goes through Google's standard verification process, ensuring authenticity and compliance. Unlike generic feedback platforms, these are real Google reviews that directly boost your search visibility and local SEO. The Plus tier and above unlock streak bonuses: maintain a streak of reviews and unlock monthly reward credits (£2 on Plus, £5 on Pro). This gamification approach encourages contractors to ask consistently, turning review collection into a habit rather than an afterthought.
Pricing and Profile Tiers
TapTrust Free includes 3 reviews per month, 10 card shares, and 1 profile, covering solo contractors testing the platform. Plus tier (£24.99 yearly or £2.99 monthly) adds 3 profiles, unlimited reviews and shares, and £2 monthly credit for extras. Pro (£49.99 yearly or £5.99 monthly) unlocks 5 profiles, NFC tag re-programming, and £5 monthly credit. Business+ adds CRM export, custom domain, and team management, priced via Stripe direct billing. Enterprise includes white-label options for agencies managing multiple contractor accounts.
Why TapTrust Over Traditional Review Collection
Asking for reviews via text, email, or verbal reminder creates friction. Many clients forget, lose the link, or never complete the form. TapTrust removes barriers by making the review request simultaneous with the physical handoff. The card itself is a conversation starter and a trust signal, resembling a premium business card but with built-in conversion. For contractors competing in crowded markets, verified Google reviews are non-negotiable; TapTrust makes collecting them frictionless and measurable.
