What TapLocal is
TapLocal App℠ is a service of Taste of the Town USA™. We install a branded NFC + QR
tap-to-review card at a local business, make it easy for customers to leave honest
reviews, and hand over a TapLocal Intelligence Report™ built only from that business's own
public reviews — a courtesy report, not a pitch. No gating, no incentives, no
guarantees, ever. That's not a disclaimer — it's the whole design.
Why this exists
Most people check a business's Google listing before they check anything else — the
reviews, the photos, the hours — often before they ever visit a website or walk in the
door. A lot of good local businesses have reviews already sitting there, unread by the
people who could act on them. TapLocal makes the reviews easier to get, and easier to
actually understand once they're there.
The actual stance on reviews
We don't buy, gate, filter, or incentivize reviews, and we never guarantee outcomes.
If a service promises to route unhappy customers away from your public Google profile
before they can leave a low star rating, that's not what this is — and it's not what
we'll ever build toward, even if it would be an easier sell.
Who's behind it
TapLocal App℠ is operated by Taste of the Town USA, LLC, based in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. We work directly with local business owners — every card is set up for one
specific Google Business Profile, and every report is built from that business's own
public reviews.
One note, because the name is common: TapLocal App is not affiliated with TAPLocal USA
(taplocalnow.com), taplocal.shop, or any other business using a similar name. The only
website for this service is taplocal.app.
