Shops still beg for Google reviews. Sell them a $2 NFC tap card.
Alibaba will ship you a programmed-ready NFC card for about two dollars. You sell the tap that opens the review box, not fake stars.

Local businesses still live and die on Google reviews. Most of them have a paper tent that nobody scans.
A salon with 11 reviews loses to the salon with 90, even when the chairs are better. Owners know this. They still ask at the register, they still tape a QR to the counter, and the phone still never opens the right screen.
NFC closed that gap. You tap a card, the review form opens, you type two lines, you leave. No app hunt. No “what’s our Google name.” The hardware is a chip in a piece of PVC.
Those cards are not scarce. On Alibaba, a printed NTAG card lands around two dollars once you buy a small stack. The gap is not supply. It is the person who will walk into a shop, tap the owner’s phone, and sell the object while it works.
Google does not sell this kit. Agencies want a monthly retainer to “manage reputation.” The street version is a card, a stand, and a link that only writes a real review.
