All I want from Google Maps is the ability to sort by number of reviews. You can almost get it. If you click a "Busy Area", it will show you a list of businesses in that small area sorted by number of reviews and it's incredibly useful. But if there isn't a "Busy Area" to click on you can't get it, and you can't sort search results that way either.
The crappiness of the ranking and filtering options in Maps search is completely inexcusable. Ranking is Google's core business!
- tristanj 2y agoSomeone already built a 3rd party solution for your problem: https://www.top-rated.online/ https://www.top-rated.online/ Select your city and sort by "Most Reviewed." I use this site all the time to decide where to go when visiting a new city -- it’s incredibly useful.
- lazzlazzlazz 2y agoI went through several cities I know (and several I don't) and the lists made no sense, with many misclassifications. Great intention though.
- MattSayar 2y agoYour comment actually reminds me about a problem I had with my initial data pull. When you search a location/radius, by default Google only lists the "popular" restaurants nearby. I had to change that from the default value to "distance." Otherwise it was skipping restaurants in my search algorithm
