A member benefit that helps every member hear from their customers.

Most small businesses have happy customers who never get around to leaving a Google review. TapLocal makes it easy: a branded tap-to-review card, set up and placed for them, that opens their Google review page in one tap. You offer it to your members as a sponsored program, and we do the work. Offering it costs the chamber nothing.

Start with your own free report. We'll read your organization's public Google reviews and tell you, in plain English, what members, event attendees and visitors are saying. No obligation.

// What your members get

Done for them, start to finish

A free Intelligence Report

What their customers praise, what they complain about, and one concrete next step, written from their own Google reviews. Up to four pages, no jargon.

The card, set up for them

A branded NFC + QR card programmed to their exact Google review page and placed on site or shipped ready to place. No app for customers to download.

Google profile help

If a member's Google Business Profile is missing or needs work, we help them set it up and get ready for Google's verification.

A members-only offer

Your chamber gets its own member page and link, showing the offer your members receive.

// What your chamber gets

Why use it yourself first

✓
Your Google profile helps sell memberships Prospective members and businesses moving to the area look you up. Recent reviews from members about real help and real connections are proof you can't write yourself.
✓
Honest feedback from every event A card at the check-in table makes it easy for anyone to say how a breakfast, mixer or workshop went. Your report turns that into findings for your board.
✓
It fits moments you already have The front desk, ribbon cuttings, networking events, the visitor counter, sponsor tables.
✓
You can see which spots work Tap counts by card show whether the front desk or the events get used.
✓
"We use it ourselves" The strongest way to introduce a member benefit is to show it at your own front desk. Your chamber gets a discount when it orders several cards.
✓
A referral fee or a sponsorship Your chamber earns a fee when members sign up through your link, or we sponsor an event instead if your rules prefer that. Either way, it's disclosed to members.

// How it works

Five steps, most of them ours

1. Your free report

We run an Intelligence Report on your organization and walk you through it.

2. Agree on terms

A short partner agreement: the member offer, the referral fee or sponsorship, and the disclosure.

3. Your member page

We set up a co-branded page and link with your name and the member offer.

4. Tell your members

Your newsletter, a member-savings listing, a workshop, or a mention at an event. We supply the copy.

5. We do the rest

Reports, setup, cards, follow-up. Your staff don't have to learn anything.

// For your business-development programs

A ready-made module for workshops and cohorts

If your chamber runs workshops, roundtables or a multi-month program for growing businesses, TapLocal fits in as a module with a clear before and after:

Workshop: "What your Google reviews are telling you"

A 45-minute session with real, anonymized examples: how to read reviews for patterns, how to reply to a bad one, and why review gating backfires. Teaching only, no sales pitch.

Program track: before and after

Each participant gets a report at the start, profile and card setup, and a follow-up report later in the program showing what changed in their reviews and replies. We don't promise numbers; we show what actually happened.

// Ground rules

What we never do, and what we ask of partners

No gating. The card opens Google directly. No rating screen first, no "unhappy customers go here."
No incentives. Nobody gets a discount, raffle entry or perk for leaving a review, including at your events.
No guarantees. We never promise more reviews, higher ratings or better search rankings.
Disclosure. Wherever you recommend TapLocal, members are told about the referral fee or sponsorship. Your member page says it for you.
Member data. We only contact members who ask us to. If you share a member list, we follow CAN-SPAM and your own rules, and we never send automated texts.

// Questions

Common questions

Does this cost the chamber anything?

Offering the program to members costs nothing; your chamber earns a referral fee or a sponsorship. Cards for your own front desk and events are sold to the chamber, with a discount when you order several.

Does TapLocal have to be a member first?

No. It works as a sponsored program under a partner agreement. If your rules require vendor membership, tell us and we'll work within them.

What does the chamber's staff have to do?

Tell members about it in the channels you already use. We handle reports, setup, cards and follow-up.

Is this allowed under Google's rules?

Yes. Google allows businesses to ask customers for reviews. It prohibits gating, incentives and selectively asking only happy customers, and we do none of those.

What if a member's reviews are mostly bad?

Then the report tells them why, plainly, and the first step is fixing the cause and replying well. The card gives every customer the same invitation, so the reviews show what's actually happening.
