NFC tags for Google reviews
Choose Google review, find your business and confirm it on the map. When customers tap the tag, the review form opens directly.

Why an editable link
The tag stores a short Productmate link. You change where it leads online, so you never rewrite or replace the tag when your menu, booking page or offer moves.
Questions
Can I change the link after writing the tag?
Yes, when the editable option is on. The tag holds a short Productmate link and you change its destination online. A direct link stays fixed until you rewrite the tag.
Do customers need an app to read the tag?
No. iPhone XS and newer and most Android phones open NFC links without an app. On Android, NFC must be turned on.
Should I lock the tag?
Locking stops others from overwriting the tag, but you can never rewrite it yourself. Lock it only after testing. With an editable link you can still change the destination.
