Collect and understand customers

Collect Google reviews with NFC and QR

Let customers open the correct Google review form with one tap or scan.

8 min read · Written for business teams
In plain English

Each Acerite NFC card or QR code contains a tracked link for one location. When a customer taps, Acerite records the interaction and sends the customer directly to Google’s official review form.

Business result

The business removes friction from asking for reviews while keeping every customer free to leave an honest rating.

Best for

Restaurants, reception desks, checkouts, delivery handovers, service counters, and any natural end-of-experience moment.

What the customer experiences

Why this matters: A short and trustworthy journey increases the chance that a willing customer completes the review.

  1. 1

    The customer taps or scans

    The NFC card or QR code opens a secure Acerite tracking link.

  2. 2

    Acerite records the visit

    The interaction is counted for that touchpoint and location without asking the customer to rate on an Acerite page.

  3. 3

    Google opens directly

    The customer reaches the official Google review composer for that location.

  4. 4

    The customer decides

    They may write any honest rating or leave without posting. Acerite does not control the rating.

Create and test a touchpoint

  1. 1

    Select the location

    Confirm the saved Google review link belongs to that exact venue.

  2. 2

    Name the physical position

    Use a clear name such as Reception stand, Table 12 card, or Delivery bag 04.

  3. 3

    Create the tracked link

    Copy the link when Acerite shows it and program it into the NFC tag or QR code.

  4. 4

    Test on another phone

    Tap as a customer would and confirm that the correct Google business and review form open.

  5. 5

    Place it at the right moment

    Ask after the service is complete, when the experience is still fresh and the request feels natural.

Collect reviews fairly

  • Give every customer the same Google review destination.
  • Do not ask only visibly happy customers to review.
  • Do not offer a reward only for a positive rating.
  • Do not ask staff to write reviews as customers.
  • Keep the request voluntary and avoid pressuring the customer.

Manage lost, moved, or retired cards

Every physical touchpoint has its own identity. If a card is lost, pause it. If it moves to a different location, create a new touchpoint for the new location instead of reusing the old one. Rotate a link if the full private token may have been exposed.
