BREAKING IMPROVEMENTS:
1. Early Detection for No Reviews:
- Check for "no reviews" messages in 11+ languages before scraping
- Detect disabled reviews tabs and aria-labels with 0 reviews
- Return early with success when no reviews exist (saves time)
- Prevents wasted scraping attempts on businesses with no reviews
2. Structural Pattern Matching (Class-Agnostic):
- STRATEGY 1: Try known CSS selectors (div.jftiEf.fontBodyMedium, etc.)
- STRATEGY 2: Structural matching - find containers with review-like structure
* Looks for elements containing: author + rating + text + date
* Counts elements with 3+ review indicators (robust, works across layouts)
- STRATEGY 3: Use role="article" with review content detection
- Falls back through strategies automatically
3. Less Script-Dependent Selectors:
- Uses aria-label attributes (more stable than CSS classes)
- Uses role attributes (semantic HTML)
- Searches for structural patterns (author img + rating span + text span)
- Works across different Google Maps page layouts and languages
4. Frontend Improvement:
- Hide "Open Analytics Dashboard" button when reviews_count is 0
- Only show action buttons for completed jobs with reviews
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Structural Matching Logic:
- Scans all divs for review indicators:
* hasAuthor: img with photo/avatar in src
* hasRating: aria-label containing "star" or "rating"
* hasText: span with 20+ characters
* hasDate: text matching date patterns (day/week/month/year)
- Element is a review if it has 3+ of these indicators
Early Detection Patterns:
- Checks page text for: "no reviews yet", "be the first to review", etc.
- Checks for "0 reviews" patterns in text and aria-labels
- Checks if reviews tab is disabled or aria-disabled
Benefits:
- Works on Lithuanian hospital page (was getting 0/271 reviews)
- Handles regional Google Maps variations automatically
- Faster exit for businesses with no reviews
- More reliable across Google Maps UI updates
- Better UX: no empty analytics dashboard for 0-review jobs
