Currently working with a website and Google MyBusiness. Rather than duplicate content, we want to include a URL to the reviews from customers on Google MyBusiness (Google Maps) -does anyone have any ideas on the format of the URL?
There's lots of information available on how to make links to encourage customers to write reviews
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=<place_id>
but I've found nothing about a link to display reviews.
https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid= is accurate; you can also search for your business on Google; hit the read reviews link and when the javascript modal pops up with the reviews copy the URL; for example:
I googled 'Sushi Mikasa' a local Sushi restaurant; they have 40 reviews, I click on the 40 Reviews link to read them and the reviews modal list pops up; the URL on my browser is: https://www.google.com/search?ei=O5wPXcbfPIbH_QbZ2azYDA&q=sushi+mikasa&oq=sushi+mikasa&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i20i263j0l4j0i22i30l3.7626.12192..12313...0.0..0.89.1197.16......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j35i39j0i67j0i131j0i131i67j0i131i10j0i131i20i263.rbNKWeU3HEo#lrd=0x89c2448abab82c39:0x7eae8848db443229,1,,,
This URL will take a user straight to the review box; similar to how the local/reviews/placeid= does; except this uses a search string instead of a Place ID. Regardless, you've found two great solutions :)
Think I've now cracked it with a bit of trial and error:
https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=<place_id> seems to work.
One additional trick (without finding the placeid) is to click Share then select Embed a map tab. It should display the place details in a small white box in top left corner with a X Reviews hyperlink, just copy that. Example for a place aesthetic dental centre:
The link is https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=ChIJlxoV2VxmXj4RSaoikrizWGg&q=Aesthetic+Dental+Center&hl=en&gl=IN
which directly opens the place reviews. Quick and simple :)

Im failing to find the correct terms for what I'm looking to do. I'm not a coder but I can get it done If I get pointed in the correct direction.
I have a network of sites. A main website, a blog, and 3 different woocom stores (international legal reasons all 3 need to be completely separated) I need to be able post a link to a product,let's say "www.--.com/product-x", on the main site the blog or a stand alone link in maybe a Facebook post. Once a potential customer clicks on that link I want them to be sent to a region select page of which there are 3 options. But I don't want them to just be sent to the landing for the woocom store of there selection I want them to be sent to "na.--.com/product-x" or "eu.--.com/product-x"
If it were just 4 or 5 products I would just duplicate the region select page but this isn't realistic. I'd like to compile the "/product-x" part of the URL from where they clicked from,and the "na." And "eu." Part of the URL from there selection.
I'm willing to do some possibly cumbersome .htaccess upkeep or add the pathways individually each time a new product link gets made of that keeps things simpler but aibjust don't want 100 region select pages.
I am aware of Geo-redirects but I'm just not there yet. I for the world can not type the correct thing into Google to find any help on this, and it's not conceivable to me that this is an original idea.
What is this called?
When I search a company in URL search bar, Some companies show their logo, company name, and description which links to their website.
I really want to add this feature to my company,
so.. How can I add this feature? I even have no idea, what it is called as.
You should make a google business profile. https://business.google.com/create
It will take the added photo of the profile and display it automatically. Don't know if it's instant to be honest (can be google needs to index it first), but in the end it will work. Have double checked it for you with a company I maintain. And they have the same icon in search bar like you requested. ✌️
There's a web page with loads of contact info that I would like to copy to my clipboard and paste into an excel doc. The problem is that in order to display the info (phone, email, title, company, etc...) you have to click on the contact name and then a little blurb comes up (similar to a business card) that shows all info. Thus, I am unable to select all and copy and would have to do this one by one. There are thousands of contacts, so obviously this would be impractical. The hyperlink does not change when I click the blurb.
I'm wondering if there's a workaround to this - is there a program I can use that can extract the info from all of these small blurb-type pop ups that come from one page?
Any help is appreciated.
There is no systematic way to crawl web pages, as it depends on how it was developped.
But you can try this :
Click on one such pop-up.
With the "dev tools" of your browser, inspect it and find anything you can use to identify this pop-up (for instance it may have a certain class or name).
Then, look for this class (or name) in the source code : all the other pop-ups may be there.
If so, you can do some text parsing to get the info you want.
Finally, you can use something like "search and replace" in a text editor to display the result in an Excel-friendly way.

Been looking for it myself. Followed the goodle documentation for 2 days now and still don't get it.
I work for a restaurant guide in the NW of the UK and we basically have featured restaurants (the ones who pay a monthly sub) and non-featured restaurants (the ones who get a basic free listing).
We were looking to get some kind of popup appearing on the non-featured restaurants, but only if they came from an external site, e.g Google.
So the steps would be:
1) User goes to google and puts in "name of unfeatured restaurant"
2) Our company comes up with the basic listing of that restaurant
3) User clicks the link but is then presented with a popup of featured restaurants
But, we would only need the popup to appear if the user has come from an external site. So if they were they came internally from our website the popup wouldn't show.
We use ASP at work and I was thinking it may possibly need some kind of a variable being passed through, or maybe something to do with cookies but I'm not an expert on the ASP side.
Hope someone can help on this :)
To see where a user came from you can try:
<%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Referer")%>
This would contain the referring URL. if you want to use it on subsequent pages, you'll have to store it ofcourse in a cookie or session variable.
