UPDATE: Google is now merging Maps, Places and Google+ into what they\u2019re calling \u201cGoogle+ Local\u201d, so all features can be found in one place.<\/div><\/div>\n

Google\u2019s recent announcement of the absorption of Google Places into Google + Local sent a flurry of panic throughout the Internet business community.\u00a0 After all, Google Places was known for being a very powerful tool for businesses concerned with reaching the web crowd.\u00a0 Fortunately, adapting to the new Google + format is relatively simple, and customers can still leave reviews quickly and painlessly.\u00a0 Here is a brief rundown of how to leave a review using new Google + Pages:<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Google + account.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t already done this, then it is time to create your Google + profile.\u00a0 That is because reviewers can no longer post anonymously.\u00a0 This is very advantageous to businesses, as it deters spammers and malicious reviewers.\u00a0 Head over to the Google + page for easy, step-by-step account set up.\u00a0 You must sign into your account in order to leave a review.<\/p>\n

Visit a business\u2019 Google + page.<\/strong>\u00a0 From there, you will be able to find a \u201cWrite a Review\u201d button, located in the upper right hand corner of the screen, which you can click to get started on your review.<\/p>\n

Choose your user ratings.<\/strong>\u00a0 Now, instead of leaving stars when you review a business, you will have to grade the business on a scale of 0 to 3, for a variety of factors related to the business (food, customer service, and atmosphere when reviewing restaurants, for example).\u00a0 This rating system, based on the Zagat scale, is more comprehensive and reveals more granular rating nuances.<\/p>\n

Write a review.<\/strong>\u00a0 Underneath the user rating section, there will be a text box in which you can write and edit your review.\u00a0 Google recommends being as specific as possible about your experience with the business in question.\u00a0 Include helpful advice for customers who may be using your review to assess the business.<\/p>\n

Publish your review.<\/strong>\u00a0 Once you are satisfied that you have rated the business appropriately, and have looked over the written portion of your review to make sure you have conveyed what you want to about the business, it is time to publish it to Google +.\u00a0 This part is simple: just click the \u201cPublish\u201d button at the bottom of the page.\u00a0 Your review will then appear on the business\u2019 Google + Local page, beside your Google + screen name and photo.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of everything Google+ Local has to offer! Visit http:\/\/kenivey.com<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n
