    \n

    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In the left pane where the business details are displayed, scroll down and select the Write a review<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. A form will pop-up where you can complete your review.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Click Post<\/span> when you\u2019re finished.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Now your review will appear alongside other reviews in the reviews section under the business information in Google Maps. Reviews also show up at the bottom of the business page that pops up when people select that business in the left pane.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to Edit Reviews in Google Maps\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          If you\u2019ve made a mistake or you\u2019ve changed your mind about your business rating, you can edit your rating and review at any time. It\u2019s also a good idea to refresh your reviews to reflect your latest experiences with a business, since some businesses may improve or worsen over time. Also, new reviews have the greatest impact on a business\u2019s online reputation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          To edit past reviews:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Log into Google Maps using your Google account, select the menu icon at the upper left, and select Your contributions<\/span> from the menu.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. On the next page, you\u2019ll see a listing of places you\u2019ve recently visited<\/a>. This is because the Contribute tab is selected by default, and provides you with an option to quickly rate and review businesses you\u2019ve visited. Instead, select Reviews<\/span> from the menu.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Scroll through each review summary listed on the left pane to find the review link for the one that you want to edit. When you find it, select the three dots at the right of the business name.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Select Edit review<\/span> from the pop-up menu. Or, if you just want to add photos or delete the review entirely, you can select one of those options instead.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. You can change the overall rating, and edit your previous review. When you\u2019re finished updating, just select the Post<\/span> button at the bottom of the review page.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    Keeping your ratings and reviews updated and relevant is important if you want people to value the reviews that you leave for local businesses.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
