Problems? Troubleshoot the issues

If everything is clear, Google will confirm with you via email that your review feed has been accepted. After the reviews feed is accepted, the status should be live.

 

If the status did not change to live a few days after receiving the confirmation email, you should contact Google for further details.

 

It might take 2 to 6 weeks for this whole process to complete. If all the information matches between Judge.me reviews feed and your product feed, your star ratings and reviews should now appear.
