How to Write a Google Review

Leave a helpful star rating and review for a business in just a couple of minutes.

  1. Sign in to Google

    Make sure you are logged into your Google account in the Google app, Maps, or a browser. You must be signed in for the review to post.

  2. Find the business

    Search the business name in Google or Google Maps and open its profile. Scroll to the "Reviews" section or tap the "Reviews" tab.

  3. Choose a star rating

    Tap "Write a review" and pick 1 to 5 stars. Be honest: 5 is excellent, 3 is okay, 1 is poor.

  4. Write specific details

    Mention what you ordered or the service you got, what stood out, and who helped you. Specifics like "the patio seating and fast service" help others far more than "it was good."

  5. Add photos and post

    Optionally attach a photo or two, then tap "Post." You can edit or delete the review later from your "Your contributions" in Maps.
