Abstract :Google Maps is the most widely used mapping service worldwide and has become an indispensable platform for individuals and businesses with its extensive database of locations, directions, and reviews. This makes Google Maps an essential platform for discovering businesses. Businesses with good reviews on Google Maps are more likely to attract potential customers. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications in the Web of Science database using the keywords “online reviews” and “Google Maps.” We used the VOSviewer application to analyze the studies, creating relationship graphs about keywords, abstracts, citations, bibliographies, publication locations, authors, and the number of publications by year. The results of the study show that the majority of the publications consist of articles; the studies between 2007 and 2018 constitute the theoretical basis in the area; the country with the highest number of publications and citations is the USA; there is a moderate level of collaboration between authors; the publications are related to many different disciplines in the areas of science, health sciences, and social sciences; and they have multidisciplinary features.
