How to get Google+ Reviews directly on your website?
-
Greetings Mozzers,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a Google+ embed on a website for visitors to easily provide Google+ reviews without having to leave your site?
Hard? Easy? Doable? Good Idea?
Any direction or education on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Well thanks for clarifying

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to specify here, though Monster Web has clarified that this is not his intent, that it is not allowed to re-post Google+ reviews anyplace - not on the website, or on another review site, etc. I know this isn't what you are asking Monster Web, but it's how I first read your question, so I thought others might, too, and I wanted to post this little tip.

Haha, will do.
Thanks for the information tho

The issue will be, for G+, you need them to have a gmail account first. I am not aware of anything that would allow you to simplify the process by having it onsite, but resolve to G+.
If you come across something, I would love to know of it.

Hey Vadim,
Thanks for your response. Yeah, that is what we are doing currently, I was just seeking a means to make it even easier on visitors. As well as with that functionality, I feel like we'd be able to do some pretty cool call to actions.
Thanks again!

Hey Robert,
Thanks for the response, I may have not verbalized exactly what I'd like to accomplish. I'm not looking to embed existing Google+ reviews to my website. I'd like to embed something from Google that is a text box where people can submit a review from our website, instead of having them click on an icon to go to another page.
Thanks for any advice

I totally agree with Robert as having those against your website listing in SERPs can have a dramatic effect on the CTR.

Monster Web,
There is no way to embed G+ reviews (EDIT - and have that resolve to the SERPs). You should look at using Schema or other markup for reviews to show in the SERPs. I have been impressed with the number of people who will leave a review for our clients. We push our clients when it comes to review markup because we see it as a big advantage.

These are the offical Google Embeds: https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/
If you want to embed reviews: http://www.globalwebfx.com/embed-google-reviews-into-your-website-in-3-easy-steps/
But I was not able to find a embed that asked for a review. What I usually do is a button that links to the profile that says review us, or something similar, that links to the main google+ page and once there they see the option to submit a review
Hope this helps

Is it worth keeping google+ for seo purposes?
Hi My company has a Google+ page with about 3000 followers and very little engagement. We are considering deleting this page as it is not worth the effort of us creating content and posting on here for the little engagement we get. Do you think this would impact our SEO in any way? Thanks Emily

Trying to link a Legacy Youtube account to a Google+ Page, the option isn't available...
Hello,
Social Media | | allstatetransmission
I am working on one of my clients projects and would love some advice before making some changes to their Google+ and Youtube account. We created the youtube account before Google+ and Youtube combined so we have a seperate name for the Youtube and Google+ Profile. They were created using separate emails, but both emails are managers of each others "account." We can't combine the two as it won't give me the option, only the option to create a new Youtube channel based on the Google+ Profile. But I already have videos loaded up on the Older Channel that I would like to keep and use for my current Google+ Profile. I have tried to disconnect the Youtube channel to hopefully get the option to link the two, but it just says it is a unavailable option. So my question is:
What advice do you guys have with any of this type of Youtube and Google+ mismatch profile/channels? I am not finding much online besides links to unattaching accounts but that is giving me a message saying that it isn't possible. Or would creating a new channel linked to the Google+ page and just reuploading the videos/transcripts be my best bet? Thank you for your feedback, and if you want anymore details (I know this description when not looking at the accounts might not be enough info, feel free to ask.) I really appreciate it. J0 -
Fetch for Google
Hi there! A short question from Holland: My developers made a mistake with a template on a subpage in Wordpress. When Google crawled my site again, Google found an empty page. The same day we loosed our #1 position on the main keyword and now we are on position #6. We restored the page the same day and asked Google to recrawl the page again (fetch for Google). But 48 hours later nothing changed. When I look in the cache date' the page still has the old date, while my competition has a newer cache date. We send some traffic to the page and did some facebook post on this page. Does anybody knows how to kickstart this page again?

Whats the SEO value of getting Likes to your brand's Facebook Page (not your site's URLs being Liked)?
UPDATED: I meant to say SEO VALUE, not just business value Lets say I have a site - www.company.com, and I set up a Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/company. I understand the SEO value of having the domain www.company.com "Liked", using the FB Like button on my homepage lets say, or the same goes for individual pages - www.company.com/page. My question is rather about having my Facebook Page - Facebook.com/company "Liked". Are those likes counted by the engines as a strong signal that www.company.com should rank well? Or only that the Facebook Page - Facebook.com/company should rank well in searches for that company?

What can Google tell from a video?
I notice that Youtube apparently does kind of an automatic transcription. What can Google tell about a video? Is it comparing text from a voice recognition transcript? Can it take compare the waveform of a video signal and see how different a video is from another video? I'm putting together a variety of videos that are similar for different pages and wondering how much do I have to change for each video. I remember one time I attempted to launch a video that was an exact copy but with a different file name, title and tags and Youtube said, "hey, that's the same video!" Thanks!
