3:12 Question 1: Ratings can be 1 to 5 stars: what is your interpretation of what each star-level stands for?

12:47 Question 3: What is a good review?

15:08 Question 4: Should you write negative reviews at all or only positive ones?

21:59 Question 7: When you come across a review that is clearly containing things or claims you know yourself not to be true, is there a way to report this? And have you done this yourself already?

24:20 Question 8: If you are a business owner: should you review your own business? And what about your competitors’ businesses?

26:32 Question 9: Should you publish your reviews only on Maps or can you just publish them on other platforms too? And what about sharing on social media.
