Google Reviews App (Beta)
The Google Reviews app lets you display customer reviews and ratings from your Google business listing directly on your screens.
When you add and setup an app to a playlist, it appears as a scene.
The Google Reviews app has two display types:
Overall Rating – Displays your business's overall Google rating and total number of reviews.
Reviews – Displays individual approved Google reviews on your screen.
Use it to highlight positive feedback, build trust, and showcase your overall Google rating.
Adding the Google Reviews App
Open the Playlist where you want to add Google Reviews.
In the right panel, find and drag Google Reviews into the playlist.
Open the Google Reviews scene to configure it.
Under the Source tab, search for your business using its name.
Click Search.
Select the correct business from the results.
Click Save.
Moderate Tab
The Moderate tab lets you control which Google reviews appear on your screen.
Each review can be individually approved or rejected, giving you control over the content shown in the scene.
You can also use the filter at the top of the page to view reviews based on their moderation status.
Google Reviews initially pulls in 5 reviews when you first set it up. After that, it checks for and adds any new reviews it can find every 24 hours.
