How to Connect Your Google Reviews

Share your Google Maps link — that's it. SocialBotify handles the rest. Works for every business type, on desktop and mobile.

Takes under 1 minute
1

Find your business on Google

Open Google Maps (or the Google Maps app on your phone) and search for your business name. You can also just Google your business name in a regular search — your Google Business listing will appear in the results.

Tip: Include your city if you have a common business name, e.g. "Bob's Bakery Seattle".
2

Tap the Share button

Once you see your business listing, tap the Share button. This works from:

  • Google Maps (desktop or mobile app) — the share icon is on the business panel
  • Google Search (desktop or mobile) — the share icon is on your business card in search results
3

Copy the link

A share dialog will appear. Copy the link to your clipboard — it will look something like one of these:

Don't worry about the format. SocialBotify accepts share links from both Google Maps and Google Search, on desktop and mobile. Just copy whatever link your share button gives you.

Paste in SocialBotify and connect

Go to the Google Reviews page in your SocialBotify dashboard. Paste the link into the connection field and click Connect. SocialBotify will automatically identify your business and import your reviews.

Once connected, you'll see your business name confirmed, and your reviews will sync automatically. Google provides up to 5 of your most recent reviews. Use the star rating filter and individual toggles to control which reviews appear in your social proof posts.

Turn your Google Reviews into social media content

Your best customer reviews are already written — why not share them? SocialBotify's Business plan automatically turns your Google Reviews into compelling social proof posts across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and all your connected platforms. Real testimonials, zero writing required. Start your free trial.

After connecting

What happens with your reviews

Once connected, SocialBotify uses your reviews to create authentic social proof content automatically.

Reviews become social proof posts

SocialBotify weaves real customer quotes and star ratings into social proof posts. These feel authentic because they are authentic — your customers' actual words shared across all your connected platforms.

You control which reviews are used

Set a minimum star rating (3+, 4+, or 5 only) and toggle individual reviews on or off. Only enabled reviews above your threshold will appear in generated content.

Reviews sync automatically

SocialBotify checks for new reviews weekly. You can also sync manually any time. Google provides up to 5 of your most recent reviews, so your social proof posts stay fresh with recent testimonials.

Alternatives

Other ways to connect

The share link method above works for everyone. Here are other options.

Search by business name

Type your business name directly in SocialBotify's Google Reviews page and select from the results. Include your city for better results. Note: some service-area and online-only businesses may not appear in search — use the share link method instead.

Google Business Profile review link

If you manage your listing at business.google.com, you can find a review link under Get more reviewsShare profile. The link starts with g.page/r/ and works the same way.

Full Maps URL or Place ID

You can also copy the full URL from your browser's address bar when viewing your business on Google Maps, or paste a Place ID directly (starts with "ChIJ"). SocialBotify's smart input handles all formats automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Service-area businesses (plumbers, photographers, consultants), online-only businesses, and some newer listings aren't indexed in Google's searchable database. Your business still appears on Google Search and Maps for customers — it's just not available through the API. Use the share link method instead: find your business on Google Maps, tap Share, and paste the link.

Google's API provides up to 5 of your most recent reviews at a time. This is a Google-imposed limit that applies to all third-party apps. SocialBotify syncs weekly, so as new reviews come in, your social proof posts stay fresh.

Yes, Google Reviews integration is available on SocialBotify's Business plan, which includes Google Reviews, AI-generated images, stock photo library, and unlimited post generation. View pricing.

Your listing may not have reviews with text content (star-only ratings without text aren't imported), may be too new, or Google's API may not provide reviews for your business type. If you can see reviews on Google but SocialBotify can't import them, try disconnecting and reconnecting using a different method.

SocialBotify accepts all common Google link formats:
Google Maps share links (maps.app.goo.gl/...), Google Search share links (share.google/...), full Google Maps URLs, review links (g.page/r/...), and Place IDs (ChIJ...). Desktop and mobile links both work.
