FAQ
Questions about Google Reviews API
How are regular Google Reviews billed?
Per block of 10 returned reviews: $0.00075 per block in the Standard queue and $0.0015 in the Priority queue — $75 and $150 per 1M reviews. The default depth is 10 reviews; a depth of 11 is billed as two blocks.
What makes Extended Google Reviews pricing different?
The base task fee covers up to 20 reviews, and a surcharge applies depending on how the business is identified: +$0.0015 per task for a keyword, or +$0.00075 for place_id or cid (Standard queue; doubled in the Priority queue). The effective per-1M cost is therefore $112.50 per 1M reviews with a keyword, or $75 per 1M with place_id/cid, in the Standard queue.
What are some examples of Extended Reviews cost calculation for different scenarios?
A Standard queue task with a keyword and depth 40 (two 20-review blocks) costs: $0.00075 (task) + $0.0015 (keyword surcharge) + 2 × $0.00075 (two review blocks) = $0.003 for up to 40 reviews. With place_id instead of keyword, the same task costs $0.00075 + $0.00075 + $0.0015 = $0.00225.
Do search operators affect the price?
Yes. If the keyword used to identify the business contains a Google search operator (site:, inurl:, intitle:, and similar), the charge per task is multiplied by 5. This applies to both the regular and the Extended endpoint.
What are the Extended Reviews surcharges?
In the Standard queue, keyword adds $0.0015, while place_id or cid adds $0.00075 per task. In the Priority queue, those surcharges are $0.003 and $0.0015 respectively.
