Before you start

Google Places monitoring,
answered.

Can I get alerts when something changes on Google Places?

Yes. A Monocrawl monitor checks Google Places on your schedule and compares each check with the last, so you hear about new Google reviews, rating changes and your local search position rather than the same results again.

Do I need a Google Places account?

No. You do not need a Google Business Profile or Google account. Monitors read public listings through your Monocrawl key.

How far back does a Google Places monitor go?

A monitor starts from its first check. Google shows only a handful of reviews at a time, so it cannot backfill a listing’s review history.

How often can a Google Places monitor run, and what does it cost?

Every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly. Watching a place’s reviews costs 2 credits a check: about 60 credits a month daily, 1,440 credits hourly. New accounts start with 150 free credits, and each check requires sufficient available funding.

Do I need to write code?

No. Build a monitor in the dashboard and send alerts to Slack, Discord or a webhook. If you prefer code, monitors are also available through the API and MCP.
