Google Maps and Google Native are testing displaying 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 they’d eliminated third-party evaluations.
I’m truly shocked Google is testing this however I suppose it would not harm Google to check. Does it?
They’ve been displaying third celebration evaluations in “Evaluation from the net part” for SABs. That is the primary time they’re shoing them within the evaluation stream in a very long time. Do you might have examples (aside from motels) of them doing? Pls share
