Count google review stars using review breakdown box

many businesses have over 1,000+ reviews .. google’s display limit appears to be 120. so the most we can ever get is 120 .. which would not be anywhere near accurate. the total reviews breakdown is at the top right for the taking.

To calculate .. total reviews X progress (css width %) = breakdown amount. If its too hard to do the math .. just grab the css width % of each progress meter along with the total # reviews and we can do math in spreadsheet.

We really need this data.

Please? :folded_hands: :innocent:

Gotcha, let me look into.

So we want to scrape length of progress bars.

unless you can find a better method. Somehow DataForSEO is scraping the exact number breakdown from 1-5 stars .. so there might be a better method out there. However, I will be happy with just doing the math if that’s all we can rely on.

SCM will use the relative size of progress bars to calc a star breakdown

In dependant of how many reviews it actually manages to scrape

Number of reviews now only returns a number, no longer ‘xxx review’ string.
