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

Should we add a weekly updated website blog (annotated re-postings) that mirrors our LinkedIn updates?.
We currently add original content to our website every couple of months in the form of long form articles we have guest authored for other reputable sites. We also maintain a LinkedIn company site with weekly updates in the form of annotated newsworthy re-postings. We are thinking of duplicating our LinkedIn update feed on our website as a blog in order to build more traffic and improve SEO. Hopefully the additional frequency of site updates will also help. Again, this additional content will be largely re purposed, with the exception of our value-added annotations. Good idea? Waste of time? Suggested tweaks? Should we link back to the original content source, no-follow, or no link?

How do your direct social media to use another picture when the web site is shared?
I set up a web site to raise funds for my nephew(www.helpmatt.org) and social media randomly picks a picture on the share. Unfortunately this picture is from happier times and sends a different message than we would like to prospective contributors. Is there a way to set the picture that is used when this web site link is shared on social media? www.helpmatt.org

Would you guest post on this website?
Hi, What do you think of this website for guest posting - www.forevergeek.com Now to me I would quite happily give up a guest post to this website, and the reason behind this would be... DA:63 PA:67 MR:5.6 MT:5.8 And lots of social sharing per post and to me this would be a perfect site to get some exposure on, looks ok as well. BUT the only thing which would put some doubt in my mind is the PR2, I would assume a site with DA:63 would have a PR4/5. What are your thoughts on this?
