Google reviews, made effortless

There's a reason the place across the road is always busy.

It's probably not better coffee. They've just got more people saying so.

Illustrative — more reviews can help, but nobody can guarantee where Google places you.

But getting them to leave one?

Once the reviews are coming in, the next question is what they find when they look you up — we handle that too.

Your reviews deserve better

The review worked. Then they looked you up.

The review sends them to your website. What they find there decides the call.

What loses the job
  • No website, just a Facebook page from 2019
  • Old hours — they think you've closed down
  • Doesn't work properly on a phone
  • No easy way to call, book or find you
What wins it
  • A site that looks like the reviews they just read
  • Current hours, prices and services
  • Built for the phone they're holding
  • Call, book or message in one tap

You're looking at one. This site is the kind of thing we build.

Straight answers

Everything you're wondering.

What is Tap Star?

A physical NFC card for your counter. A customer taps their phone on it and your Google review page opens — making it easy for happy customers to leave a genuine review.

My customers are older — will their phones work?

Most modern iPhones and Androids tap straight away. Some older handsets need NFC switched on, and a few won't tap at all — those customers can still search you the normal way. We'll tell you honestly what to expect for your crowd.

What if someone taps and nothing happens?

Most modern iPhones and Androids tap straight away, with no app and no account. Some older handsets need NFC switched on in settings, and a few won't tap at all — those customers can still search you the normal way, or you can send them your review link. Nothing breaks, they just get there a different way.

Can customers leave a bad review?

Yes. We don't filter or gate anything. Customers go to the real review page and write whatever they want. That's the honest way to do it, and it's the only way Google allows.

Do I pay every month?

No. The card is a one-off purchase. Monthly management is a separate optional service if you ever want it.

Can you guarantee I'll be number one on Google?

No, and nobody honestly can. Reviews are one factor that can help local visibility and customer trust. Google decides where businesses appear.

Can I use it at my business?

If you have a Google Business Profile that accepts reviews, yes — cafes, salons, trades, clinics, shops. You put the card wherever customers naturally finish up.

More questions +
How does the card actually work?

It uses NFC — the same technology as tap-to-pay. A compatible phone taps the card and opens whatever link is programmed onto it.

Does the card leave the review automatically?

No. It takes the customer to your review page. They choose whether to leave feedback and write it themselves.

Is this allowed by Google?

Yes. We don't create, buy or fake reviews, and we don't stop anyone leaving negative feedback. Customers go to the genuine review destination.

Are you affiliated with Google?

No. Tap Star is an independent Australian business, not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

What's the difference between one and two cards?

They're the same card. Two covers a second counter or till, and works out at $40 each instead of $50.

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, Australia wide. Local in-person setup may also be available depending on where you are.

Do you build websites too?

Yes, as part of our wider services. Options are on our services page.
