2 Ways to Write a Review on Google

• You can leave a review on Google using your computer or the Google Maps app on your phone or tablet.
• If you're using a phone, open the place you want to review in Google Maps, then tap the star rating under "Reviews".
• If you're using your computer, click "Write a review" when you search for the place in Google Maps, then leave your review.

Using Google on a Computer

Search for the product you want to review using Google. Go to https://google.com in a desktop web browser. Log in if you aren't already logged in. Some general manufacturer names like "Flonase" won't work, but specific product names, like "Flonase Sensimist" will. If you don't know the name and brand of the product you want to write a review about, you shouldn't write the review because you could end up writing a review for a similar, but not the same, product! This method works for reviewing movies, products, and places!

Click Write a review. You'll see this in the panel on the far right side of the page under the "User reviews" header.

Click the stars you would rate the product. The empty stars allow you to give an overall rating.

Create your review. You can adjust how many stars you want to give the place (out of 5) by clicking them, but you also have room to write an explanation for your star rating. Depending on the type of review, you may or may not see a Add Photos button.

Tap Post. It's in the lower right corner of your screen and will publish your review.

Using Google Maps on Mobile

Open the Google Maps app on your phone. If you don't have the app, you can download and install it for free on Android, iPhone, or iPad.

Search for the location that you want to review. If there are multiple locations, make sure you have the right one selected (look at the address and make sure it's the one you want to review.).

Tap the Reviews tab. You'll see the tab below the picture view of the place along with Overview, Directory, and Services.
