Frequently asked questions
How often do you publish new articles?+
New articles go up as we have something genuinely useful to say — usually a few times a month. Every article is dated and re-reviewed when the underlying guidance changes, so the publish and update dates on each page are accurate.
Who writes these articles?+
The Reviews Widget product team. Everything is grounded in the platform documentation we link to at the foot of each article, plus what we see across the review sources our widget imports from.
What is the difference between the blog and the Learn section?+
Learn holds the evergreen reference explainers — what a reviews widget is, how review schema works, how Google ranks local businesses. The blog covers practical, timely advice you can apply this week.
Can I republish an article on my own site?+
Please do not republish the full text. You are very welcome to quote a paragraph or a table with a link back to the original article, which is how we would treat your work.
