Google Reviews play a critical role in maintaining a business's online reputation and providing helpful information to potential customers. You might think that leaving a review requires a Gmail account, but that's not the case. Here's how you can leave a Google Review without using a Gmail email:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a Google Account with Another Email

You aren’t restricted to a Gmail email address when creating a Google account. You can use any active email address, such as Yahoo, Outlook, or others. Visit the Google Sign-Up page and select "Use my current email address instead".

2. Verify Your Email

Once you've entered your non-Gmail email address and password, Google will send a verification link to that email. Open your email, find the message from Google, and click the verification link.

3. Log In to Your New Google Account

After verifying your email, you can log in to your new Google account using the email and password you just set up.

4. Navigate to Google Reviews

Search for the business you want to review on Google. In the business’s Google listing, scroll down and click on "Write a review".

5. Write and Submit Your Review

With your new Google account, you can now rate the business, write your review, and hit "Post" to submit it.
