How Our Business Reviews API Testing and Onboarding Process Works
At Local Data Exchange, we strive to make the integration of our Business Reviews API as seamless as possible. Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand the steps involved in testing and onboarding with our Business Reviews API.
Step 1: Initial Inquiry and Discussion
Reach out to us with your requirements, and we’ll discuss how our API can meet your needs. This initial conversation helps us understand your use case and ensures we provide the best solution.
Step 2: Accessing the API Documentation
Once we understand your needs, we provide access to our API documentation. This comprehensive guide details the endpoints, parameters, and data formats you’ll be working with.
Step 3: Signing the Order Form
You can test our Business Reviews API for free over a 30-day trial period upon signing an order form for continued service. You may cancel at any time during the testing period if you decide not to move forward.
Step 4: Free Trial Period and Setting Up a Staging Environment
During the trial period, you’ll have access to our sandbox/staging environment. This allows you to test our API without affecting your live data, try out different requests, retrieve reviews, and ensure the integration works smoothly.
Step 5: Onboarding and Integration Support
If you decide to continue after the trial, our team will assist you with the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition from the trial to full implementation. We provide support to address any technical issues and answer your questions.
Step 6: Monitoring and Optimization
Post-integration, we continue to monitor the API performance and provide optimization tips to enhance your experience. Our goal is to ensure that our API delivers maximum value to your business.
Pricing and Usage
Our Business Reviews API is billed per request at $8 CPM, with a $1,000 monthly minimum. Each request corresponds to a single page of reviews, and we use a hash system to retrieve only new reviews for subsequent requests.
Some clients report that individual SMBs cost them anywhere from $0.06 to $6 per month. You can control the costs by limiting your API requests (e.g., by date vs. all time, or by frequency of checking).
