Let’s say you’ve discovered a fantastic company and want to submit a review. It only takes three simple steps to leave a review. That review then appears in their Google My Business reviews:

  • First: Log in to your Google account. You must be logged in to use any Google service.
    • In addition, your review will display your user name and profile photo.
  • Next: Look for the company by typing its name into the Google search bar. The name should come up first in the search results. A star rating and the number of reviews the business has already will be displayed on the right-hand side of your screen.
