Choosing a review plaque for your salon
An NFC or QR plaque can help clients find your review page at reception or after an appointment. Choose a product for its listed dimensions, material, design and included link features. No plaque can guarantee five-star feedback, more bookings or a particular Google ranking.
Where to place it
Reception, a payment desk or a clearly marked waiting-area surface can be practical locations. Keep the code visible, the tag reachable and the sign away from products or equipment that obstruct scanning. Test it in the intended position.
A neutral invitation for every client
Use the same invitation regardless of whether a client appears satisfied: “If you would like to share your experience, you can leave an honest Google review using this sign.” Make it optional. Do not reward reviews, request a particular rating or route only happy clients to Google. Offer private support to all clients alongside the public-review option.
NFC and QR requirements
NFC needs a compatible NFC-enabled phone and may require unlocking, enabling NFC or tapping a notification. Where the selected product includes a QR code, a compatible camera or QR reader provides another route. Internet access is required. No SmarPlaque app is needed to open the link, but Google requires sign-in to a Google Account to submit a review.
Ordering and personalisation
Supply the business details, destination link and artwork requested by the product listing. The optional design preview costs £0.90 and normally takes 1–2 business days after receiving your details. A free proof is not included. Production normally takes 3–10 business days after details are complete and, if selected, the preview is approved. UK transit takes a further 3–5 business days after dispatch; customer approval delays are additional.
All products offer free lifetime digital destination-link changes. Email hi@smarplaque.com with your order number and new link. This does not alter the printed artwork or physical product.
Multiple locations
Give us the correct destination for each location and check it before approving any optional preview. If you need several destinations on one display, choose a product whose listing explicitly supports that arrangement.
Set realistic expectations
Review numbers and ratings depend on customer choices and experiences. We do not promise a three- to five-fold increase or a fixed result within 60 days. Use feedback to improve your service and respond professionally.
