Google Maps and Google Native are testing exhibiting third-party evaluations for Google Enterprise Profile listings. It has been over a decade since Google Maps confirmed third-party evaluations, evaluations not left straight by a searcher on Google however positioned on a third-party web site.
Mike Blumenthal shared a screenshot on X of the evaluations for a Google native itemizing the place it confirmed evaluations left on HomeAdvisor, Greatest Firm, and others straight within the Google listings:
In 2011, Google dropped third-party evaluations from the Google Maps enterprise native listings. In 2012, Google up to date the place pages once they launched a brand new design for these pages, including that they had eliminated third-party evaluations.
I’m truly shocked Google is testing this however I assume it does not harm Google to check. Does it?
They’ve been exhibiting third social gathering evaluations in “Evaluation from the online part” for SABs. That is the primary time they’re shoing them within the assessment stream in a very long time. Do you will have examples (aside from resorts) of them doing? Pls share
