Notes
- locationAverageRating - Historic data is calculated by dividing the review scores by the number of total reviews for each day. From the day the pipeline is setup and moving forward, the average rating is taken from the API. In rare cases there may be discrepancies between the calculated value of the average rating and the rating shown on the Google Business Profile location are due to the way Google can look at other factors to determine the score, as outlined in their help article here.
