FAQ: Troubleshooting Review Platform Integration
Q: I can't find the review platform I'm trying to integrate. What should I do?
A: If you're unable to find a specific review platform in the integration section, here’s what you can do:
1. Check the List of Supported Platforms:
Navigate to The Reputations tab> Settings > Integrations and check the list of supported review platforms. If the platform you're looking for isn't listed, it might not be currently supported.
2. Verify the Platform's URL:
Double-check the URL you're using to integrate the platform. Ensure that it points to the correct review page for your business, such as your Yelp business profile or your Google Business page.
3. Check for Updates:
Some platforms might be added in future updates. Keep an eye on any new integrations in the integration section.
Fix: If the platform is not supported, contact support to inquire if it will be integrated soon.
Q: My reviews aren't fetching after entering the review platform URL. How can I fix this?
A: If reviews aren't appearing after you’ve entered the URL and clicked Fetch Reviews like shown below
follow these steps:
1. Verify the URL:
Ensure the URL you entered is correct and directly points to the review page of your business on that platform (e.g., Yelp, Google).
2. Permissions Check:
Make sure your account has the necessary permissions to access reviews from the platform. Some platforms may require specific account settings to allow review fetching.
3. Clear Cache:
Sometimes, clearing your browser cache can resolve fetching issues. Try refreshing the page after clearing your cache.
4. Retry Fetching Reviews:
After making the above adjustments, go back to the Integrations section and click Fetch Reviews again to see if the issue is resolved.
Fix: If the issue persists, reach out to customer support for assistance.
Q: I received an error message stating “URL Not Recognized” while trying to integrate. What’s causing this?
A: The error "URL Not Recognized" typically happens if the URL entered doesn't match the expected format or isn’t associated with the correct platform.
Check the URL Format:
Ensure that the URL is correctly formatted and directly links to your business’s review profile. For example, make sure you are using the full URL, such as https://www.yelp.com/biz/your-business-name.
Review Platform-Specific Requirements:
Some platforms may have specific URL requirements (e.g., having to log in to your account first or enabling certain permissions). Check the platform's documentation for guidance on integrating reviews.
Try a Different Browser:
Sometimes, a browser-specific issue may prevent the URL from being recognized. Try using a different browser or clearing the cache in your current browser.
Fix: Ensure the URL is correct, and if the problem persists, contact support to resolve any integration issues.
Q: How do I ensure that all review platforms are integrated correctly for centralized management?
A: Follow these steps to confirm that your review platforms are successfully integrated and you’re able to manage them in one place:

Navigate to Settings > Integrations and confirm that each review platform is listed under your connected platforms. Each platform should have its own “connected” status.
2. Confirm Review Fetching:
For each platform, check if reviews are being automatically pulled into your dashboard. You should see the latest reviews from each integrated platform displayed under Reputation>Overview:
3. Test the Setup:
After setting up integrations, test them by clicking on a few recent reviews from each platform. Ensure that you can respond to reviews and monitor feedback efficiently.
Fix: If a platform is missing, recheck the integration process or consult with support to resolve the issue.

Centralized View:
All reviews from connected platforms will appear in your dashboard, allowing you to monitor feedback from a variety of sources in one place.
Filter by Platform:
You can filter reviews by platform or date range to make it easier to manage feedback across different sites.
Fix: If reviews from certain platforms aren’t showing, ensure you have followed all the integration steps correctly and contact support for assistance.
