How to find the Maps URL

Small trades businesses often don't show up in the Place ID search tools. This always works.

  1. Open Google Maps on a computer

    Go to google.com/maps in Chrome. Use Maps, not regular Google Search.

  2. Find the business

    Search the business name + town (e.g. Proud Landscaping Olanta PA). If the client sent you a share link, just paste it in the box above first — if it can't read it, click “Open link in new tab,” let Maps load, then continue.

  3. Click the business so its panel opens

    The business name, photos and reviews appear on the left. Wait until that panel is fully loaded.

  4. Copy the full address-bar URL

    Click the browser's address bar, select all (Ctrl/Cmd + A), copy. It should contain a !1s0x…:0x… chunk.

    …/maps/place/Business+Name/@40.98,-78.42,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x23495e59f049bb35:0xb3d592b0bba33b5!8m2…

  5. Paste it up top → Get Place ID → Copy

    You'll get a code that starts with ChIJ…. That's the Place ID.

Can't get an ID? The listing wasn't fully loaded when you copied. Click the business in the left panel, wait a second, then re-copy the address bar. The URL must contain 0x…:0x….

2. Put it in Solev Reviews

This pulls the client's real Google reviews + star rating straight onto their site.

  1. Open the client's site in the Solev editor

    From your dashboard, click the site → Edit.

  2. Open Site Settings

    Click the gear / Settings icon in the editor toolbar.

  3. Paste into “Google Place ID”

    Find the Google Place ID field (it shows ChIJ… as a hint) and paste your code.

  4. Click “Pull reviews”

    Solev fetches the live Google reviews and fills the testimonials section automatically.

  5. Save, then Publish

    Save the settings. Publish the site (or save the draft) so it goes live.

Heads up: Google only returns up to 5 reviews through this, even if the business has more. Only 4★ and 5★ reviews are shown. Never type in fake reviews — if a business has just one or two, that's what we show.
