How review importing works

When you confirm a business, ReviewPine starts importing its public Google reviews.

Two quick stages#

1. Newest reviews first. A small batch of your most recent reviews is fetched first, usually within a minute or two. As soon as it lands you can choose a widget and design with your real reviews.
2. Full history in the background. Your older reviews keep importing while you work. When they are in, your widgets update by themselves.

While this happens, Your Business shows the status Importing reviews. You can close the page; nothing is lost.

What is imported#

• The reviewer's name and profile photo, as shown on Google.
• The star rating, the review text and when it was posted.
• Your overall Google rating and total review count.
• Your listing's address, when Google shows one.

Widgets show your most recent reviews, up to several hundred per business, which is far more than any visitor scrolls through.

Languages#

Reviews are shown in the language they were written, including Hindi and other Indian languages. Right-to-left scripts display correctly too. You can also set the widget's own buttons and labels to English or Hindi; see widget language.

If nothing arrives#

If Google has no reviews for the listing, the import finishes without reviews and you will see a clear message with a Try again button. See no reviews found.
