First, you need your direct Google review link. Here's how to get it:

Option A: From Google Business Profile Manager

1. Go to business.google.com
2. Select your business location
3. Click "Get more reviews" or find it under Home → Get more reviews
4. Copy the link provided

Option B: Create a Short Link

1. Go to g.page
2. Search for your business
3. Click "Share review form"
4. Copy the short link (e.g., g.page/r/ABC123)

Step 2: Test Your NFC Card

Before using with customers, test that everything works:

Testing on iPhone (7 and newer)

1. Make sure NFC is enabled (it's on by default)
2. Hold the top of your iPhone near the NFC card
3. A notification should appear at the top of your screen
4. Tap the notification to open your Google review page

Testing on Android

1. Go to Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences → NFC
2. Make sure NFC is turned ON
3. Hold the back of your phone near the NFC card
4. Your browser should open directly to the review page

Step 3: Position Your Stand
