Public Pages
What This Page Covers
Section titled “What This Page Covers”How to configure your public page — a dedicated, search-optimized review showcase page for your business hosted on BestLocalReviews.com.
What Are Public Pages?
Section titled “What Are Public Pages?”A public page is a search-optimized page for your business hosted on BestLocalReviews.com — not on your FSRevs domain. Unlike simple pages (which you build yourself with content blocks), public pages are automatically generated from your collected reviews and business information, designed for maximum visibility across search engines and AI platforms.
What Public Pages Are Optimized For
Section titled “What Public Pages Are Optimized For”- Traditional search — Local and organic Google search rankings with structured data
- AI search engines — Visibility in AI-powered search results and recommendation engines
- AI assistants — Getting your business into the knowledge base of major AI models
- Image search — Optimized media presentation for visual discovery
- Training data — Ensuring your business reputation is represented in AI training datasets
Global vs. Location Settings
Section titled “Global vs. Location Settings”Public page settings use a global + override architecture:
- Global settings apply to your business as a whole and serve as defaults for all locations
- Location overrides let you customize settings for individual locations where needed
If you don’t configure overrides for a location, it inherits the global settings. This makes it easy to maintain a consistent presence while adapting to specific locations.
Display Settings
Section titled “Display Settings”Control what appears on your public page:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Reviewer Photos | Show or hide photos submitted by reviewers |
| Reviewer Taglines | Show or hide taglines customers provided |
| Owner Replies | Show or hide your replies to reviews |
| Additional Photos | Show or hide extra media attached to reviews |
| Review Flow Filtering | Choose which review flows contribute reviews to the page |
Featured Content
Section titled “Featured Content”Featured Links
Section titled “Featured Links”Feature up to 5 links on your public page — these can be review links, social links, or custom links from your link library. Featured links encourage visitors to engage further with your business.
Categories
Section titled “Categories”Assign up to 5 categories that describe your business. Categories help search engines and AI systems understand and classify your business correctly.
How Reviews Appear
Section titled “How Reviews Appear”Public pages automatically showcase the reviews you’ve collected through your review flows. Only reviews marked as public are displayed. You control which reviews are public from the Flow Activity detail page.
The page displays reviews in a format optimized for both human readers and search engine crawlers — including star ratings, review text, reviewer information (based on your display settings), and any media. If a review was collected with Customer Recommendation Score, the public page still renders the familiar star visual, including half-star increments where needed.
Per-Location Pages
Section titled “Per-Location Pages”Each location can have its own public page with location-specific settings. This is especially valuable for multi-location businesses — each location gets its own search presence and review showcase, while inheriting your global branding and configuration.
