Mention

If your business or a competitor has a Google Local Review page, you can add their review to your alert via the Review Pages section! Please follow the steps below to fetch the correct URL and add it to your Mention Alert.

How do I get the correct Google URL?

1. Visit the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-placeid-finder" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Place ID Finder page. </a>

2. On the page, use the location search bar to find the business you want to monitor:

3. Once you find the business, please copy the Place ID:

4. From there, paste the Place ID to the end of this URL: <code>http://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=</code>

- Mention's Place ID is ChIJG1siDBZu5kcRL7DEdGcLdVo
- The URL I will need for my monitored page is: <a href="http://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=</a>ChIJG1siDBZu5kcRL7DEdGcLdVo
