Google Review Step — Open a Google Review Link on Tap
Use the Google Review step to send customers straight to your Google review page when they tap a Kitetag. It runs silently and opens your review link automatically — no extra screen or button.
What does it do?
When the step runs, the Tapper’s browser opens your Google review link automatically so they land on your listing ready to leave a rating — without searching for your business. There’s no intermediate page or Continue button; the link opens on its own (in a new tab, falling back to the same tab if pop‑ups are blocked).
Because it runs silently, put it at the end of a flow — usually right after a short thank‑you Message step so the Tapper sees a friendly note while their review page opens.
When should you use it?
- Restaurants and shops — a tap card at the table or counter that drives reviews
- Service businesses — a leave-behind tag that asks for a review after a job
- Events — a feedback tag at the exit
How do you set it up?
- In the Interaction Builder, click Add Step → Google Review (Actions category).
- Point the step at your listing one of two ways:
- Search (recommended) — Start typing your business name and pick it from Google’s suggestions. Kitetags builds the canonical “write a review” link for you, so there’s nothing to copy or paste. (Search requires Google Places to be available; if it isn’t, use Paste instead.)
- Paste — If you already have your Google review link from your Google Business Profile, paste it directly. Paste mode supports Dynamic Tap Data
{{tokens}}, so you can vary the link per tag.
- If you pasted a fixed link, use Open test link to confirm it goes to the right place.
- Put the step near the end of the flow (for example, after a thank-you Message step).
- Publish and assign the interaction to a Kitetag Group.
Next steps
- Pair it with a branded Message step so the Tapper sees a thank-you while their review page opens.
- See all step types in the Interaction Builder guide.
