Create a Google Reviews Feeds source

This article outlines how to configure a Google Reviews Feeds source in Finalsite Feeds, including how to connect a Google Business profile and display customer reviews on the website.

💡Quick answers

  • Where do districts and schools select their feed? The Feeds module opens to the Feeds dashboard, which lists all available feeds. Click the name of a feed to open the feeds configuration screen.
  • What is required to add a Google Reviews source? A verified Google Business profile connected to Feeds.
  • What content is displayed? Public customer reviews submitted to the connected Google Business profile.
  • Are all reviews displayed automatically? Only public reviews are retrieved; reviews that have been filtered or removed by Google are not available.

Step 1: Navigate to the Feeds module

In Composer, open the module menu on the left sidebar and select Feeds.

Feeds option in the Composer module menu

Landing on the Feeds dashboard, select the individual district or school feed that needs configuration or a new source added.

To add a new source directly from the dashboard, click the + in the Source column. Alternatively, click the three-dot menu next to the Edit button on the far right.

Once inside the feeds configuration screen, click the red + Add New Source button.

Either path opens the Add a Social Media Source window. Learn about all of the source options in the article, "What is a source."
