Naver to disclose place star ratings from July, adds on-off option for business owners
Naver will resume disclosing cumulative average star ratings on SmartPlace reviews, aiming to provide a more reliable place-search experience. It will switch accumulated numeric information on Place reviews to full disclosure from July, and from July 9 it plans to show cumulative average ratings and individual user ratings in key areas where Place reviews appear. The average will combine data accumulated before Oct. 25, 2021, with new data collected this year. Business owners will be able to toggle display on or off.
