THE MATH THAT'S HARD TO ARGUE WITH

Here's what waiting to get TapFive actually costs you.

Every week without it is a week your competitors are pulling ahead on Google.

The Cost of Waiting

  • Without TapFive ~0.5 reviews / week (verbal asking, most forget)
  • With TapFive ~8 reviews / week (NFC tap-to-review conversion)
  • Every week you wait −7.5 reviews behind
  • Every month −30 reviews behind
  • Every year −365 reviews behind
365 REVIEWS BEHIND.
Per year. For every year you wait.

"Your first week of reviews pays for the entire stand. Literally."

  • The TapFive 1-Card costs $14.95.
  • The average restaurant customer is worth $1,680 over their lifetime.
  • One new customer from your improved Google ranking = 112× ROI.
  • You're literally paying $15 to get $1,680 back.

This is not a purchase.
It's an investment.

Stop Losing Ground — Get TapFive

Google ranks businesses like a leaderboard. Reviews are the scoreboard.

Here's exactly what Google uses to decide who shows up first — and who gets buried.

#1 Factor

Total review count

Businesses with more reviews rank higher. Period. Google treats each review as a vote of confidence. 200 reviews beats 50 every time — even if the 50-review business has a higher star rating.

#2 Factor

Review velocity (how often you get them)

A burst of 50 reviews in January then nothing = Google thinks you're dead. 2 reviews per week, every week = Google thinks you're thriving. Steady beats spiky.

#3 Factor

Star rating (4.0+ required)

Under 4.0 stars and Google quietly buries you. Above 4.5 and you get the "Highly Rated" label that drives 25% more clicks. This is table stakes — you need VOLUME to protect your average.

The Google Local Pack — Where 70% of Clicks Go

1
Sunrise Coffee & Bakery
4.8 (847 reviews)
40% of clicks
2
The Corner Café
4.6 (412 reviews)
22% of clicks
3
Maple Street Roasters
4.3 (89 reviews)
8% of clicks
… and 847 other businesses nobody ever sees 30% of clicks split between ALL the rest
The Math

You need approximately 200 reviews to rank in the top 3 in most US cities.

With TapFive
2 reviews/week 2 years to rank
Without TapFive
0.5 reviews/week 7.5 years to rank

That's 7.5 years vs. 2 years. Every week you wait is a week your competitor builds a bigger lead.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING

Every objection we've heard — and why it doesn't hold.

75,000 business owners asked the same questions before they bought. Here's the truth.

"My customers won't know how to use it"

They tap their credit card to pay every day. This is identical. In 4 years and 40,000+ deployments, we've never had a single customer complaint about confusion. It just works.

100% of users who tap, get to the review page. The friction is zero.

"My staff won't remember to use it / won't be consistent"

The Stand doesn't require staff. It sits there and collects reviews 24/7 without anyone doing anything. The Card works because it's in your stylist's or server's pocket — one tap at their moment, not a vague request later.

Stands work with zero staff involvement. Set it, forget it.

"My customers won't actually leave a review even if the page opens"

They don't have to type anything. They tap the stars and hit submit. Takes 8 seconds from page open to review posted. That's why our conversion rate is 10–25% vs 1–3% for email requests.

8-second review process. NFC conversion: 10–25%. Email conversion: 1–3%.

"I already have a QR code / I already ask for reviews"

QR codes require: opening camera, holding steady, waiting for scan, hoping they don't get distracted. NFC requires: one tap. QR codes convert at 2–5%. NFC converts at 10–25%. You're leaving 5x the reviews on the table every single day.

5x more reviews from the same customers. Same business. Just different method.

"The price seems too cheap — is this quality?"

The cards use the same NFC chip technology as credit cards and hotel room keys — durable, waterproof-coated, built for daily business use. We sell on Amazon with 400+ reviews and 4.8 stars. The price is low because there's no subscription, no app, no platform. Just hardware.

4.8★ on Amazon · 400+ reviews · 40,000+ businesses trust it

"What if I get too many negative reviews?"

NFC doesn't change the quality of your reviews — it just makes it easier to get them. Businesses with 50+ reviews consistently average 4.2+ stars because the happy customers (the majority) actually submit. The silent majority finally has a voice.

Silent majority rule: 80% of happy customers never review. NFC gets them to.

"I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be able to set it up?"

Setup takes 60 seconds. You enter your Google Business Profile URL. We program it. Done. No app, no dashboard, no software. It arrives ready to use. If you get stuck, we'll do it for you — just email us.

60-second setup. No technical knowledge required. We'll help if needed.

"What if it stops working?"

NFC chips have no battery and no moving parts. They have a 10+ year functional lifespan. If anything goes wrong within 30 days, we refund you. After 30 days, we'll troubleshoot. We've had zero chip failures in 4 years of deployment.

30-day guarantee · Zero chip failures in 4 years · No maintenance ever

Still hesitating? The real objection is inertia.

THE $399/MONTH MISTAKE

Review request software works great. For the software company.

We've talked to thousands of business owners who tried the platforms. Here's what they told us.

Hopeful
  • Sign up. $299–399/mo. Onboard the team.
  • Connect your POS, CRM, or customer list.
  • Set up automated follow-up texts and emails.
  • Staff gets trained. Feels like progress.
Reality sets in
  • Texts sent: 400. Reviews received: 12. Conversion: 3%.
  • Customers annoyed at the texts. Unsubscribes coming in.
  • The platform sends the message 24–48 hours after the visit.
  • Customer has moved on. They don't care anymore.
The reckoning
  • Software: $1,200 spent so far.
  • Reviews collected: maybe 47. That's $25 per review.
  • Staff still doesn't consistently collect contact info.
  • Churn rate high because the ROI isn't there.
Cancel or stay stuck
  • Either cancel ($0 reviews collected going forward) or keep paying for disappointing results.
  • The fundamental problem: they're sending the request at the WRONG TIME.

THE CORE PROBLEM

Review software requests reviews after the customer leaves.
NFC captures them in the moment.

1–3% SMS / Email software
10–25% TapFive NFC

HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

Your customers' phones already support this. They don't even know it.

NFC has been in every iPhone since 2014 and every Android since 2011. You've used it every time you tapped your credit card.

The technical truth (in plain English)

  1. 1 TapFive cards and stands contain a small NFC chip — like the chip in your credit card.
  2. 2 When a phone comes within 2cm, it reads the chip wirelessly — no contact needed.
  3. 3 The chip sends one signal: "Open this Google review link."
  4. 4 No app installation. No internet required on the card. No batteries. No Bluetooth pairing.
  5. 5 The phone opens Google, the review page loads, and the customer taps their stars.
4 seconds The entire process, start to finish.

Will my customers' phones work?

Device Works? Notes
iPhone 7+ (iOS 13+) Yes Automatic, no app
iPhone 6/6s (iOS 13+) Yes May need Control Center
iPhone 5 or older No Rare — <1% of users
Android 2012+ Yes Built-in NFC reader
Samsung Galaxy S4+ Yes All Samsung models
Older Android No Pre-2011 models only
Google Pixel (all) Yes Works automatically

99%+ of smartphones in use today support NFC. Your customers are good.

Common Questions

Does the customer need an app?
No. Zero app downloads. NFC triggers natively on every modern smartphone. The review page opens in their default browser — nothing to install, nothing to configure.
What if they don't have internet?
They need cell data or WiFi to load Google — the same as opening any website. But if they're at your business, they almost certainly have it. And they have their phone out anyway.
Can TapFive be reprogrammed to a different review link?
Yes. Each card and stand can be programmed to any Google Business Profile link. Multi-location owners often buy 10-packs and program each unit to a different location — all managed from a single dashboard.
How long does the NFC chip last?
Forever, in practical terms. There are no batteries and no moving parts. The chip is read-only and has a theoretical lifespan of 10+ years. Our oldest deployed cards have been active for 3+ years without a single reported failure.
What if most of my customers are iPhone users?
Perfect — iPhones are actually better for NFC review collection. iPhone NFC triggers automatically when the screen is on and the phone is near the card. No unlocking required on iPhone 7 and newer running iOS 14+. Your Apple-loyal customers will have zero friction.

Quick setup questions

What IS the Google review link?

It's the link that opens your Google review box directly. Go to Google Maps → Find your business → Click “Write a review” → Copy the URL. Or search Google for “Google review link generator” and use their free tool. We also email you step-by-step instructions right after purchase.

Do I need to set up each card separately?

All cards in one order go to the same link by default. If you want multiple locations (e.g., a 10-pack split across different locations), just note this at checkout and we'll program each batch separately — no extra charge.

What if I move locations or change my Google Business Profile?

Email us and we'll reprogram for free, or we'll send instructions to reprogram yourself — takes about 2 minutes using any free NFC writing app on your phone. Your cards aren't locked to us.
