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

Requirement full bleed image share Google+?
Hi everyone, Im sort of a Google+ nutter and I wanted to figure out exactly what is required for a full bleed image to appear for +1 share on the page itself. I got it figured out and I think it requires: canonical url og:image image wider then 506px type article or page (microdata format) But sometimes it seems that pages without a canonical url still show full bleed image when shared as link when I insert the url directly into a google+ post. My question is if this could be a cached version of the page where it had a canonical url? Don't really know if that anyone is interested but I made a simple tool that checks if a page meets requirements for having a full bleed image when share as link on Google+. Think I nailed it pretty close but can't seem to get the full bleed image to appear for the tool itself do:) Please dont ask. It's driving me mad already. http://www.googlewiki.nl/seo-checker/check-fullbleed.php Try it. Take a blog post url, check it with this tool and then see for yourself if it's accurate. If not I would like to hear very much as it would help me pin point it better! Examples of pages with specific no no factors for you to try are:

Google+ Doesn't Show my Post Title
When I create a new blog post and link to it on Google+, the thumbnail & description are correct, but the HTML title it pulls in is just the company name. I have the proper HTML title tag and OpenGraph tagging on the page too, but lately (last 3 posts) it just shows company name: Here's an example. It used to work on the first handful of posts, but the last 3 or 4, it just show the "Company Name" next to the thumbnail image & above the description. <title>Some blog post title - Company Name</name></p> <p>...</p> <p>...</p> <p><span><meta </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">property</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">og:title</span><span>' </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">content</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">Some blog post title - Company Name</span><span>'/></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

Value in content from website being shared across social media?
If I write content (small career advice quotes) on my website and I distribute across Twitter and FB I assume my site will get the full credit (from an SEO perspective) since that is where the content was originally uploaded. However, will I still get SEO credit for being active on social media, or will Google view it as duplicate content and evaluate that I am not active on social media? thank you

What is the value of getting a Facebook like?
Is requesting people to like your facebook page of any real value for a small business? Is it better to encourage people to write a comment/testimonial about your product or service on their own status with a link to your website and/or Facebook page? I have a lot of clients getting more and more into the concept of social marketing so I am now wondering how best to guide them in the right direction with regards to Facebook specifically

Google+ Is this listing Claimed or Not?
I'm working on a dentist website. I logged in using their gmail account. I then searched for the practice name with the city and state then found their listing. I clicked on the link that has the Google reviews and it brought me to their Google+ page. If I click on Manage this page, it takes me to my client Google places dashboard page where I can edit some information.... even though I am having a hard time uploading images. Getting a "Cannot upload images at this time" Error The weird thing is that if I hit the browser back button and then Manage this page again, it takes me to the page where I can claim the business. I click on the blue link that says "If you own this place, claim it and edit it directly", I get a message that says "You may only access listings that you own. If you created this listing with a different Google Account, please log into that account and try again. If you've deleted this listing, you may create it again in Google Places Any clues on what is going on? Please see images attached. iyonJ.jpg Zqe7K.jpg
