— What information do I need to give for it to be accurate?  

The widget directly communicates with your Google Business Profile (GBP) to be able to display your reviews accurately. The set-up process to connect your GBP to the widget involves adding DemandHub’s Support as a “manager” (the lowest level visibility on GBP). Once we’re approved as a manager on your profile, we’ll activate your location within our DemandHub servers to generate a custom code to go on your site. This custom code will ensure the reviews are updated accurately every night to show your new 4-5 star reviews. 

— How often are the reviews updated? 

The reviews are updated nightly. If you gain a review in the afternoon, your new review will show up on the widget the following morning.

— Will it show my negative reviews? 

Although the badge will show your average rating as seen on local search, the review badge only displays your 4-star reviews or higher. If you’re struggling with negative reviews, the best way to mitigate them is to continue to gather more reviews. This will help boost your Google search ranking organically. To learn more about ways you can help your reviews, read about it here.
