FAQ
Does it filter reviews?
No. A TapToRate card links to your real public review page. Every customer can leave any genuine review they choose.
Will Google remove them?
Google can remove any review that breaches its policies. Genuine reviews are not disallowed merely because the customer opened the page through a card or QR code.
Is making it easy against the rules?
No. Google supports sharing a review link or QR code. Convenience is allowed; manipulation, incentives and fake engagement are not.
Can I ask every customer?
Yes. In fact, giving every genuine customer the same neutral opportunity is the fairest and safest approach.
