Write a Review Button Not Showing on KG?

This is a first for me. A friend of mine was asking me about it and I have no idea why the Write a Review button isn't showing even though they currently have 2 reviews. The listing was verified 3 days ago. Thoughts?

It actually has just started appearing. Anyone know why this would happen?

Hi Scott, I would have thought it was due to having no reviews. But you say they already had two reviews at the time it wasn't showing?

Yes, that was throwing me off. It started to show the Write a Review button after 4 reviews. Not sure that had anything to do with it. I thought it may have been because it was so newly verified, but I hadn't seen that before with any of my clients.
