Title: How to Get Reviews on Google Shopping (Step-by-Step)
Description: Interactive 4-question quiz that generates a personalised guide to getting star ratings on Google Shopping. Supports all major review platforms.

Complete 7-step process:
1. Create a Google Merchant Center Account — free at merchants.google.com; verify website ownership
2. Sync Your Products to Google Merchant Center — use the Google & YouTube Shopify app or WooCommerce Google Listings plugin to add your product feed
3. Submit the Google Product Ratings Interest Form — one-time form at support.google.com/merchants; requires 50+ total reviews; select "Yes, but I'd like to submit the feed myself"
4. Export Your Reviews as CSV from Your Review App:
   - Judge.me: Shopify Admin → Apps → Judge.me → Reviews → Export → Export published reviews (emailed CSV)
   - Loox: Shopify Admin → Apps → Loox → Manage Reviews → Product reviews → Export to CSV (immediate download)
   - Yotpo: reviews.yotpo.com → Reviews → Moderation → Date Range: All Time → Export to CSV (emailed)
   - Okendo: Settings → Import/Export → Reviews → Export → All Time → Request Export (emailed CSV)
   - Stamped: Reviews → All Reviews → Filter → Date Range → Add Filter → Download All Reviews
   - Junip: Reviews → Product Reviews → Export all reviews + Include review tags (emailed CSV)
   - Reviews.io (Start Up plan+): Settings → Export Reviews → Product Reviews → CSV → Export
   - Trustpilot (Premium): Manage reviews → Product reviews → Inbox → Export
5. Convert Your CSV to XML with Review2XML (https://review2xml.com) — first 50 reviews free with live feed URL; paid plans from $6/month for unlimited reviews
6. Upload Your XML Review Feed to Google Merchant Center — Products & store → Reviews → Product reviews → Manage product review sources → Add product reviews → Upload file from computer
7. Wait for Star Ratings to Appear — feed shows as "Inactive" initially (normal); goes "Live" within days; stars appear on Google Shopping within 2–6 weeks

Requirements: 50+ total product reviews, Google Merchant Center account, live product feed, accepted into Product Ratings program.

FAQ:
- How many reviews needed? 50 total across all products (not per product). Must be product-specific reviews, not store reviews.
- How long until stars appear? 2–6 weeks after uploading XML feed.
- Is it free? Merchant Center program is free. Review2XML includes first 50 reviews free with a live feed URL; paid plans from $6/month for unlimited reviews.
- Which Shopify apps work? Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped, Junip, Reviews.io — all support CSV export compatible with Review2XML.
- Do I need a GTIN? No — Brand + SKU or Brand + MPN also work. GTINs give best match accuracy.
