Did you just have the best steak of your life? Did you just experience the worst service at your local bar? Was the tour you just took informative and fun? Let the world know! You can review almost any service using Google Reviews. This How.com.vn article teaches you how to write reviews on Google using a computer or your Android or iPhone.

Things You Should Know

You can leave a review on Google using your computer or the Google Maps app on your phone or tablet.

Search for the product you want to review using Google. Go to https://google.com in a desktop web browser. Log in if you aren't already logged in.
- Some general manufacturer names like "Flonase" won't work, but specific product names, like "Flonase Sensimist" will. If you don't know the name and brand of the product you want to write a review about, you shouldn't write the review because you could end up writing a review for a similar, but not the same, product!
- This method works for reviewing movies, products, and places!
You'll see this in the panel on the far right side of the page under the "User reviews" header.
