ADD MULTI LOCATIONS:

Compared with the older version where you can only add one location, the updated version can find reviews from multiple locations.

Click on the location you want to display. Then copy the code below and paste it into the place you want your reviews to be displayed.

Google Reviews allows you to have one primary location. Therefore, if you have many stores, you can add your stores to the list and choose one to be a primary location.

After the location is primary set, click the Write Review outside to redirect to the write review link of that location.

For instance, if you choose Omegatheme as your primary location, when click on Write Review it will immediately redirect to the review link of Omegatheme location.

- Set up Primary Location:

- Click the Write Review button:

- Redirect to Write Review page:

What if I can not use API or my location is not available?

In this case, you can directly use google maps link in the app.

How to get link?

Step 1: Go to page https://www.google.com/maps, enter your address to find its position on map.

Step 2:. Scroll down to view the reviews of the chosen place. Choose Review section or See All Reviews to move to Review page.

Step 4: Go back to your admin store and paste the URL link you copied into the blank field, then it will be displayed along with other locations searched by ID.

Note: Similar to Location by ID, you can also add multiple Location by link

Businesses with both storefront and service area locations will also be able to select and set up review for each location separately, which should make it easier for customers to find the right location.
