A tap-to-review placard for your counter — programmed, then shipped free or installed by me. $40
Your customer holds their phone near the sign. Your Google review page opens on their screen. No app to download, no typing, no "what's your business called again?"
When someone searches for your trade in your town, Google shows your star rating before it shows a single word you wrote about yourself. That rating is doing your selling whether you manage it or not.
Almost nobody goes home, remembers your business name, looks it up, and writes a review. They absolutely would have done it in the moment, standing right there, if it took five seconds instead of five minutes.
Most owners hate asking, so they don't. A sign on your counter asks for you — every customer, every day, without you or your staff having to say a word.
Four steps. You're involved in exactly one of them.
Pay online below and pick install or shipping. Checkout asks for your address and your review link — that's everything I need.
You give me the "Ask for reviews" link on your Google Business Profile, and I program your direct review link onto the chip.
Around Sacramento and the Bay Area I come to you and set it up on your counter myself. Anywhere else in the country, it ships to your door ready to use — nothing to set up, just stand it up.
Holding a phone over it brings up your Google review page, already open, ready to tap five stars. Five seconds start to finish — while they're still happy and still standing in front of you.
A solid acrylic sign that sits on your counter and asks every customer for a review, all day, forever. Programmed to your review link before it reaches you.
The same tap, pocket-sized — with a QR code on the back, so a phone that can't tap can still scan it. Keep one in your wallet, your work truck, or your apron. Finish a job, hand it over, and the review page opens before you've packed up.
Everything here is a one-time charge. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, and no charge per review. The placard is yours.
Rather talk first, or pay me in person?

Shipping is free anywhere in the US — the price is the same either way. In-person install covers Sacramento and the Bay Area; if you pick install and you're further out than I can reasonably drive, I'll either ship it instead or refund you in full the same day, your call.
The moment you buy anything from Spindola Software — even this $40 placard — every future service I build for you drops to 50% off, permanently. Websites, apps, booking systems, custom tools, whatever you need next.
No membership. No renewal. No expiration date. You bought from me once, so you're a founding customer, and founding customers don't pay full price again.
Add-on placards and wallet tap cards are already at the discounted $20 rate, so the 50% doesn't stack on those.
The reviews bring people looking. This is what they find. Buy the placard service and your website drops from $500 to $250 — the founding customer rate, applied the same day you order.
One-time build price. The only other cost is your domain name, and I don't make a single dollar on it — you pay exactly what it costs to buy and hold the name, usually about $12 a year. It's registered in your name and it stays yours.
Ask about my website ▸No. iPhones from the XR and XS (2018) onward read the tag with the screen on — nothing to install, nothing to open. Android phones read it with NFC switched on, which it is by default on most phones. Nothing to sign into either way.
A small number of older phones won't tap, and they'll just carry on with their day — the sign costs you nothing on the times it isn't used. Everyone else taps. I'd rather tell you that up front than have you find out on the counter. The wallet tap cards also carry a QR code on the back, so those work either way.
Never. I don't want it and I won't ask for it. You copy the link out of your own Business Profile and send it to me — it's the same link you'd text a customer, and it's the only thing I need. I never sign in to anything of yours, at any point.
Search your own business name on Google while you're signed in as the owner. Your Business Profile controls appear, with a button to ask for reviews — that gives you a short link to copy. Paste it into the order and you're done. If you can't find it, just send me your business name and I'll help you get it.
Say so when you book and I'll walk you through starting one — it's free, and it's the single most valuable thing a local business can do online. Google verifies new profiles on their own schedule, so we may install the placard first and point it at your profile the day it goes live.
None of the three. There is nothing to charge and nothing to connect. The chip is powered by the phone that taps it, which is why it will still work in ten years.
Yes — pick it up and put it wherever you like. It's a free-standing placard, not a fixture, and the chip doesn't care where it sits.
Call me and I'll re-program or replace it free. These chips have no moving parts and no battery, so it's rare — but "rare" isn't "never," and it's my name on it.
The chip can be re-written as many times as you like — it isn't printed on, it's stored on it. If you change your business name, move to a new address, or want the sign to open something different, bring it to me or I'll swing by and re-write it. Free, forever, for anyone who has bought from me once.
I cover Sacramento and the Bay Area in person. Send me your address when you order and I'll confirm the visit — usually within a few days. If you're further out than I can reasonably drive, I'll ship it to you instead, or refund you in full the same day. Your call, and either way you're not left waiting on me.
Yes — I ship anywhere in the US, free, and the price is exactly the same as if I drove it over. You send your Google "Ask for reviews" link at checkout, I program the chip to it, and it arrives ready to use. There's nothing to set up on your end; stand it on the counter and it works.
The counter placard, one wallet-size tap card, and a stand for the card — $50 for all three instead of $60. It's the setup most shops end up wanting anyway: the sign lives on the counter and the card rides with you.
No, and I wouldn't take that job. This makes it effortless for your real customers to leave their honest opinion. Google is good at spotting fake reviews and the penalty lands on your profile, not on the person who sold them.
Forty dollars, a few minutes of your time, and every happy customer who walks out gets a five-second way to say so.
