How to get Google+ Reviews directly on your website?

[MonsterWeb28]

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!

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Haha, will do.

Thanks for the information tho

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.

Well thanks for clarifying
