How to make your restaurant reviews stand out

Google Maps contribution stories

Google Maps is a great way to share the best of your city and help others discover new things about the world around them.

Reviews are fun because you can highlight individual places you love: that cozy bookstore you found wandering around the city one afternoon, that street food stall where you eat lunch every day, that lovely hotel that you always recommend to visitors.

Here are some easy tips to make your reviews stand out to millions of people.

1. Be specific and back up your opinion with details

It’s great to know that a restaurant has a good burger! It’s even better to know that it has a good burger with a buttery bun and thick-cut bacon. Whenever you can, think about the small details that made the individual item or place stand out.

2. Talk about multiple aspects of the place

Mention a few topics to paint a fuller picture, like a restaurant’s food and its service, or hotel’s bed and its room service. You don’t have to overload your review with every single detail about your experience, but including a few aspects will make your review more useful to readers.

3. Post a good photos

To make everyone want to try your restaurant.

I really like reviewed places because i prefer to walk tourist attractions rather than visiting restaurants. I think more important to shared and reviewed places than food/drink because i can giving contributed to my country by making it easier for foreign and local tourist to find places that are beautiful and influential on state visas, providing new jobs for sir.

Hey @Radilla0901 ,

Thanks for sharing.

I’ve noticed that your post has an Indonesian language label. Please note that I’ve removed it as your post is written in English. The label should reflect the language in which the post is written.

To learn more about those labels I recommend you to take a look at the following article How do I find posts in my preferred language?.
