Setting Default Location for Google reviews
This enhancement will help you to request reviews for each operational office or business location that you have. You can have individual responses for each location from where your company operates and thus your business can stand out from others.
To take google reviews of each business location that you have, you just need to set the office address as the default location for which you want to grab the reviews.Â
Use Case: If you are operating from three different locations, and want to take reviews particularly for any one office, then you can set that office address as the default location.
How to set the default location for Google reviews?
While integrating your account with Google my Business, you will get an option to select and set a business location from the multiple business locations that are connected to your account. Once you set the default location, the same will be reflected in the Google Reviews section and the reviews will be updated for the same.Â
