Description
Hi @gosom , thanks for the fix on the `website` link issue.
As requested, I'm opening a separate issue for `reviews_link`. This column is always returned empty in the CSV output, even for listings that have reviews.
**How I Am Running It**:
I am using the official Docker image: `gosom/google-maps-scraper:latest`.
Our Docker command is:
```
docker run --rm \
-v $PWD/queries.txt:/queries.txt \
-v $PWD/results.csv:/results.csv \
gosom/google-maps-scraper:latest \
-input /queries.txt \
-results /results.csv \
-lang es \
-extra-reviews
```
> (Note: I also use `-depth 15`, `-c 3`, and `-exit-on-inactivity 2m` flags).
**Example Input (`queries.txt`)**:
```
Veterinarios en Madrid #!#veterinarios-madrid
```
**Actual Output**:
The `results.csv` file is generated, but the `reviews_link` column is empty for all rows.
**Expected Output**:
I expect the `reviews_link` column to be populated with the direct URL for that listing's reviews.
**Example:** `https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=ChIJvS8MzPg1HIYRRJuC2D3S4fg&q=Aloha+Vet&authuser=0&hl=es&gl=ES`

Research direction
Reproduce the Docker command with `-extra-reviews` and inspect the path that collects and exports `reviews_link`. Compare the generated CSV with the expected Google reviews URL, then verify that the column is populated for listings with reviews and remains correct in a repeat run.
