## FAQ
- Q: Do customers need to install an app to tap an NFC review card?
  A: No. Modern iPhones (XS and later) and most Android phones with NFC read NDEF URLs natively. The phone opens the review link directly in the default browser without any app installation.
- Q: Can I change the review URL on an NFC card after it is printed?
  A: Yes, if the NFC tag was not write-locked during initial programming. You can rewrite the URL with any free NFC writing app on an Android phone. If you lock the tag for security, you will need to replace the card to change the URL.
- Q: How many Google reviews can I expect per NFC card per month?
  A: Results vary by traffic and placement, but restaurants typically see 15-40 reviews per month per location when cards are placed on every table with brief server prompts. High-traffic fast-casual locations may generate 60 or more reviews monthly.
- Q: Will Google penalize my listing for collecting too many reviews via NFC cards?
  A: No. Google's review policies prohibit incentivized or fake reviews, but prompting genuine customers to share their experience is explicitly permitted. NFC cards simply reduce friction. They do not fabricate reviews.
- Q: What NFC chip should I use for a Google review card?
  A: NTAG213 is the most cost-effective choice. It provides 144 bytes of user memory, which is more than sufficient for a Google review URL (typically 65-90 bytes including the Place ID). NTAG215 or NTAG216 are unnecessary unless you plan to store additional data on the same tag.
- Q: Should we use NTAG213 or NTAG215 for review cards?
  A: NTAG213 (144 bytes user memory) handles a Google review URL (~80 bytes) with margin to spare and is the most cost-effective at scale ($0.10-$0.20 per chip in 5K+ runs). NTAG215 (504 bytes) only matters if you plan to encode a vCard alongside the review URL or want extra room for tracking parameters. NTAG216 (888 bytes) is overkill for a pure review-card use case.
- Q: How do we measure ROI on a multi-location restaurant rollout?
  A: Track three numbers per location weekly: review velocity (reviews/week), star average, and Map Pack rank for top 3 search terms. The reference economics: $0.30-$0.50 per card amortized over 6 months, plus ~$5/location for the host-stand mount = under $50 fixed cost per location. At a typical 4-6 week payback against a $4-$5/review email program cost, a 6-location group recovers initial investment inside the first quarter.
