Can we offer a free drink or a shot for a review?
No. Offering anything in return for a review breaks Google's rules and can get reviews removed. The card simply makes it easy to leave an honest review.
Where should the card go in a bar?
With the check is the best moment, since the night is wrapping up. A card on the bar top and a sticker by the exit catch the rest.
We host live music and trivia. Do those nights get reviewed?
Often, yes. If reviews mention your events, the report shows which ones people talk about.
How does verification work for a bar?
Standard storefront verification: Google confirms your real address, usually with a short video or a mailed postcard.
Can reviews mention our bartenders by name?
Customers can mention whoever they like. If names come up, the report shows the pattern. You can't ask guests to name anyone.
Is there anything we should avoid asking customers?
Yes: never ask for a specific star rating or wording, never offer anything in return for a review, and never ask only the customers you think are happy. The card simply makes it easy for everyone to leave an honest review.
