The second step you will want to complete is to link all of the review sites to Review Manager. This will allow you to manage ALL of your reviews in the same spot! You can link reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp and over 100+ industry specific review sites.

Lets start with connecting your business location!

When you have chosen a location, click Next and you will be led to step two, which will be linking your review accounts!

Google automatically searches for major review sites that you might have.

 Simply check the little box next to the review site you would like to add and click Next

This processes might take up to 5-10 minutes to complete depending on how many sites you are connecting

After Review Manager has added the review sites, you will be directed to add your logo in the next step.

This logo will be able to be seen by your customers who receive your requests for review. Make sure the logo is NOT white since the background will be white. You want your logo to be viewable. If your logo is white, consider adding a colored background and then uploading it into Review Manager.

The next step will let you know that your account is ready to go!
