It can take a few weeks for reviews other than Google to show up.
Yelp may not show up at all.
(Google and yelp are always fighting with each other.)

I would not recommend directing your clients to Yelp as a review source.

Google and Yelp are bitter rivals and they don't play well together.

See if your company profiles are the same on yelp and google places.
Angie's list reviews don't show up on Google either. I assume because of Angie's list reviews being subscription only. Which just figures because I have two outstanding reviews one on Angie's list and one on linkedin and neither show up on Google.

This is a big deal Bill.
They have to have the exact same name and address down to the punctuation marks.
Yelp will show up in Google on it's own sometimes under the locals but you won't see there reviews show to much on the Places page.
Try to get reviews on Yahoo, City Search and Judys Book.
Angies list will show in "more about this place" but won't show the reviews in Google places because it's password protected.
Hope this helps.
I like Yelp reviews because when they DO show up under the locals...they will have the pretty yellow stars that stand out.
So try to get an even amount of reviews on all those sites.....I know it's a pain but whattyagonnado.
The one suggestion (that I don't really follow myself) is to get the reviews everywhere else EXCEPT Google so when Google updates and drops all their reviews...it won't hurt as much.

What Albert says makes sense because the Yelp address is in Folsom and the Google Listings in Citrus Heights. The Angie'sList thing pisses me off me because we all know those are as authentic as it gets for reviews. I've got 7 I think....all A's.

Those Angie's List reviews still help....you just don't get to see the actual review.
Probably because of all the personal info that goes with those reviews as well.
Yeah, Bill if you can change all your addresses to one address you will be better off as far as the "scraping" goes.
But You might be losing out on an area that you want to be in too.
Hard to say which is more important.

Facebook pages will show up in Google searches but they are seldom on page 1
Google places won't scrape any FB reviews because FB doesn't have review area for businesses that I know of.
When the fan pages end up with a designated review area...I could see Google scraping it.

I have to choose between Syphillis Heights or Folsom? That's a tough choice Ivebeensold[/quote:cqrrnj5f]Bee Busy said:

My page has a review section. It has the wall, discussion, info, photos and review. Their is a link on the left of the page. I had a customer leave me a review there yesterday. I think she dinged me a star because she got voicemail when she first called to set up her cleaning.
I would prefer if I could have people use facebook because just about everyone has a facebook account so it saves them having to sign up for accounts elsewhere but if it won't get scraped by google I may not encourage it too much.

Wow, nice Joey.
I haven't kept up on my Facebook page at all. I just went over and found a horrible review someone left for us. lol
I may have to get back into the facebook thing.
I wonder if Google will ever scrape the FB reviews.

This is why Google might not pick up Facebook reviews:

These companies just don't play well together. Google and Yelp of famous for trashing each other. Now it looks like Facebook has join the fray.
Too bad it would be nice to link clients over to Facebook for reviews if they had some weight.
