Google no longer addresses writing a review for a business where you work in their help center. Does anyone know if it’s now OK to write a review for your employer as long as you identify yourself as an employee? The fact they do not mention it any longer is odd.

Hi Morten:
I looked at your link and did not find anything indicating that you can not write a review for your business. I know Google was clear about this in the past, but it’s no longer there. Can you please direct me to the text where Google shows this specifically please? I did not see it and can not find it. Thank you.
My link takes me to this sentence:
Additionally, do not write reviews for places where you are currently or formerly, an employee.
In this document from Google :

Second to last bullet under review tips.
Cheers
Morten

@Mauibob As you probably missed the paragraph, highlighted in the article shared by @MortenCopenhagen
This is the screenshot
In addition, on Prohibited and restricted content you can read: “Content that is based on a conflict of interest.”.
And in fact when we report a review we can flag it as “Conflict of interest (Review is from someone affiliated with the business or a competitor’s business)”
Hope this will clarify the answer you received

Thank you Ermes. You are correct. I read that page 10 times and did not see this. I also appreciate your additional information. Very helpful.
Hi @Mauibob
No you can’t add any review’s on that place where do you work/former. You must need to avoid that place.
You can read Here all you can see more information about the review’s.
Thank You Keep Contributing.

Hello @Mauibob
I have visited your maps profile Your inactive i think from so many days you can’t added any “Photos, Review’s”?
I have saw an review of that you added a review (4months ago) you only saying “Good”.
You must describe about the your experience what you look there etc, Also Read it you will find.
Your a local guide member you must add review’s like an Local Guide not like normal public. From now try be active by adding photos, review’s etc.
Thank You Keep Contributing! All the best.
I’m not asking about writing reviews for my business. I have a customer who wants to do it. personally, I feel that even if Google allows this, it’s a very bad idea. I was surprised when I could not find what I was looking for. Thank you everyone for showing me the copy I needed to see and share with my customer.
Thank you.
