Customers can review business on New Google Plus

[bcannon13]

Google Plus for businesses has switched to a new Google+ page that does not have a "WRITE A REVIEW" button available for customers to leave a review for a business. This is preventing us from sending a link to our Google Plus business page directly to customers soliciting a review for our business.

Has anyone else noticed this update migration and does anyone have a work around for how to send a link to our customers so they can leave a review on our Google+ business page?

Yes.

This happens on new and redesigned G+. But you can link them to Google Maps where reviews can be seen and written too.

Hi there.

Also, if you Google your company name and knowledge graph comes up, there is a direct link to write review and direct link to a page from which customers could write review.

I read up on this today, like Peter and Dmitri suggest you may want to point your customers to a new location when requesting reviews, but despite not showing on the G+ local page the reviews should still be available elsewhere on the maps and search results. There was an article on it from SEORoundTable yesterday too.

Oops! Looks like there's a typo in your thread title. I'm positive you meant customers 'can't' leave reviews
