Accessing Google Social Sharing Settings
To modify your Google Social Sharing settings, follow these steps:

Click on the 'Social Sharing' tab.
Select Google to access the Google Social Sharing settings.
Note: You must have admin access to your Google Business Profile to proceed with these settings.
Customizable Options
Here are the various settings you can modify for Google Social Sharing:
Enable Google Sharing Toggle:
This toggle is mandatory to enable automatic social sharing of reviews. Ensure it's turned on; otherwise, new reviews won't be shared automatically. This setting also needs to be active for other customization options.
Google Business Profile:
This dropdown lists all Google Business Profiles linked to your connected Google account. Select the profile you want to share reviews on.
Max Reviews to Post/Day:
Choose the maximum number of daily review posts to be shared on your selected Google Business Profile. Adjust this to control the frequency of posts.
Post Template:
Customize the content of the review posts according to your business needs. Use template placeholders to dynamically insert relevant information into your posts. Adjust the placeholders to display the desired data in your review posts.
Exclude the Star Rating:
This feature allows you to exclude reviews with specific star ratings from being shared on your Google Profile. For example, if you choose to exclude 2-star reviews, any future reviews with a two-star rating will not be shared as posts. Only reviews with higher ratings will be shared automatically.
Exclude Review Platforms:
If you've connected multiple review platforms to your account, select which platforms to exclude from social sharing. This helps you control which reviews are posted on your Google Profile.
Exclude Reviews with No Text:
This option allows you to exclude reviews that contain no text from being shared. Only reviews with accompanying comments will be posted.
