New: notifications when a business owner responds

Whether you give a restaurant five stars or suggest some ways a store can improve, it’d be helpful to know if the business owner responds to your review.

 

Now, you finally can. Google recently launched a new feature that allows you to receive notifications when a business owner replies to the reviews you’ve left on Google Maps.

 

Just five minutes after the business posts its response, you’ll get an email informing you of the reply as well as a link to read it in full. There are also plans to release push notifications on mobile at a later date.

 

We hope this helps to better connect business owners and Local Guides like you. Be sure to let us know what you think about the update in the comments!

@AriMar

So that the reviewers will get the email whenever they left 5-star review, that means also they will not get any emails if they leave 1, 2, 3, 4-star review?

Hi @ThanhLan , What  Arimar is saying be it 5stars, 1star, 2stars, 3stars, or 4stars when the business owner replies to your review, you will get the notification when the business owner replies, it doesn't matter on the type of rating you gave the business, that will not affect the notification. They would get the notification for all types of reviews or ratings be it positive or negative.  When local guides leave a review of a business, the business owner would be notified too by email as well and they will also be able to reply to customers review. 

I hope this helps you

Yes!

 

This is a feature that I have been waited! There has been so much improvement to the Google Maps in just a couple of years that now I feel it's not even same app anymore, and that's a good thing!

Thank You to ALL who made this application better all the time.

This is a good news because it is all about ending and not the begining. Very good idea for mostly all local guides, it is giving us the window into the business owners's heart, soul and minds.

Level 10

Great news, thank you

Level 8

Brilliant idea, however, some stablishment are not sport to the reviews I had one here to Bangkok Thailand they dont like any credibility from any one vice versa reputation is essential to both parties. But you can't give them an adjectives all the time. How is this matter? Any protection to local guide side?

Great news!

But sometimes I don't want that. How to unsubcribes or unfollow
