# Google reviews

New Google reviews of your shop, restaurant, office or any other place on Google Maps, with their star rating.

Google reviews is a [review site](/platforms/reviews), so Rumoro doesn't search it for your term. You add places to a keyword's `reviewSources`, and every new Google review of those places becomes a mention. This works for anything with an address, such as a shop, restaurant, clinic or office.

| `platform` | `googlemaps` |
| --- | --- |
| Finds | Every new Google review of the places you add |
| Checked | Once a day for each place |
| New page | The 100 newest reviews, free |

## Add a place

Paste the place's Google Maps link. The long link from the address bar works, and so does the short `maps.app.goo.gl` link from Share. You can also send a Place ID (`ChIJ...`) or a CID.

```ts tab="TypeScript"
await rumoro.updateKeyword({ path: { id: 'kw_...' }, body: { reviewSources: [{ url: 'https://maps.app.goo.gl/...' }] } });
```

```python tab="Python"
rumoro.keywords.update("kw_...", reviewSources=[{"url": "https://maps.app.goo.gl/..."}])
```

```bash tab="curl"
curl -X PATCH https://api.rumoro.dev/v1/keywords/kw_... \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUMORO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "reviewSources": [{ "url": "https://maps.app.goo.gl/..." }] }'
```

The link has to open a single place, not a search or an area of the map. Places have no countries.

## What you get

| Field | Holds |
| --- | --- |
| `post.text` | The review. A rating without text reads "Rated 4 of 5 stars, with no written review." and is still shown and billed. |
| `review.rating` | 1 to 5 |
| `review.response`, `review.responseAt` | The owner's reply and its time, if any |
| `author` | Reviewer's name, Google Maps profile, picture and review count |

Sentiment comes from the stars and relevance from the keyword's kind. Intents are still read from the text.

## Limits

- Helpful votes aren't collected.
- Each day reads at most a place's 1,000 newest reviews.
