How it works

How we extract google reviews data

The full pipeline from your brief to the final delivered file — no black box, no surprises.

  1. 1. Lock the target listings

    Provide the businesses you want reviews for — by Google Place ID, by Maps URL, by business name + city, or as a category sweep ('all dentists in Sydney'). We confirm the projected review count per listing before any scraping starts.

  2. 2. Harvest the full review timeline

    For each listing, our pipeline scrolls through Google's review feed all the way back to the very first review, not just the 5–10 most-recent that show by default. Sort orders captured: newest, highest, lowest, most relevant — so you get a complete archive regardless of how Google ranks them today.

  3. 3. Extract the long-tail review fields

    Each review row gets: full text, star rating, posted date, detected language, reviewer name + profile URL + avatar, reviewer's total review count, local-guide level, helpful-count, photos uploaded with the review, and Google's review_id (for deduplication and citation).

  4. 4. Capture owner responses

    Where the business has replied to a review, we extract the response text plus the response timestamp on the same row. Useful for measuring response rate, response time, and tone of brand engagement.

  5. 5. Deduplicate by review_id

    Google sometimes serves the same review twice across different sort orders. We collapse duplicates by Google's stable review_id so each customer voice appears exactly once in the final file.

  6. 6. Optional: sentiment + topic tagging

    Add per-row sentiment score (positive/neutral/negative + confidence), topic tags (food, service, ambience, value, etc.) and entity extraction. Powered by an LLM pass over each review — flat fee per 1,000 rows.

  7. 7. Deliver as CSV / XLSX / JSON

    Default delivery is a single ZIP with CSV (UTF-8), XLSX (with a schema sheet) and a README. JSON or NDJSON for ML pipelines, direct push to BigQuery / Snowflake / Postgres available via our automation service.

  8. 8. Optional: schedule incremental pulls

    Re-run weekly or monthly and we deliver only the new and changed reviews since the last run. Critical for live reputation dashboards — you stay in sync without re-importing the full archive every time.

How it helps

How B2B Connection helps businesses with google reviews

We pull every public review attached to a Google Maps business listing — the entire history, not the 5-10 most-recent reviews you see when you visit the page. Each row contains the full review text, star rating, reviewer profile, language, posted date, photos uploaded with the review, and the business owner's response if one exists.

Use it to power sentiment analysis, reputation-recovery campaigns, competitor benchmarking, support-ticket back-mining, or to feed an LLM a structured corpus of customer voice for any vertical. Delivered as CSV + XLSX with a documented schema; JSON / NDJSON available for ML pipelines.

What's included

  • Complete review history (not paginated truncation)
  • Star rating, posted date, language and review length per row
  • Owner response text + response date when available
  • Reviewer profile: name, avatar, total reviews authored, local-guide status
  • Photo URLs uploaded with the review
  • Sentiment / topic tagging available as a paid add-on

Common use cases

  • Brand sentiment + NPS-style reputation monitoring at scale
  • Competitor analysis — what customers love or hate about rival venues
  • Back-mining customer-support tickets and product feedback
  • Reputation-recovery campaigns targeting venues with sub-3.5★ ratings
  • LLM training data — structured customer voice across any vertical

Frequently asked questions

How far back can you pull reviews?

All the way to the very first review on the listing. Google's UI defaults to the most-recent ~10 but the underlying review feed is paginated infinitely — our scraper walks the entire history regardless of how old the listing is.

Do I get the full review text or just an excerpt?

Full text, untruncated. We click 'See more' on every multi-paragraph review so you get the complete content rather than the 200-character preview Google shows by default.

Are owner responses included?

Yes — when the business has replied to a review, you get both the response text and the response timestamp on the same row. We also compute response lag in days so you can analyse engagement velocity.

Can you tag sentiment and topics?

Yes, as a paid add-on. We run each review through an LLM pass that tags sentiment (positive/neutral/negative + confidence), extracts topics (food, service, ambience, value, etc.) and identifies named entities. Flat fee per 1,000 rows — quoted at brief time.

How do you handle the same review appearing in multiple sort orders?

Google sometimes returns the same review across newest/highest/lowest sort orders. Every review carries Google's stable review_id, and we deduplicate on that key — every customer voice appears exactly once in the final file.

Is reviewer profile data legal to extract?

Yes — every field we capture is publicly visible on the reviewer's Google contributor page. We never extract private information (email, phone) and never extract data from reviews protected behind a login. Output complies with the same public-data principles as our other scraping services.

What format do I get the data in?

Default is a ZIP containing CSV (UTF-8, header row), XLSX (with a second sheet documenting the schema) and a README. JSON / NDJSON available on request — recommended when you're piping the reviews into an ML or sentiment-analysis pipeline.

How quickly can you deliver?

1–3 business days for a one-shot pull from up to a few thousand listings, including the full review history per listing. Larger or scheduled extracts quoted on a per-volume basis. We share a sample within 24 hours so you can verify the schema before the full extract runs.

Can you run this on a schedule for ongoing monitoring?

Yes. We can re-run weekly or monthly and deliver only the new + changed reviews since the last run, so your sentiment dashboard or reputation monitoring tool stays in sync without re-importing the entire archive.
