Reviews
In the Client Portal at the bottom it doesn't show any reviews while in TBC Google Profile shows the reviews. According to Support Article 360002386411 FAQ "They will be in your Client Portal after a 7-day quarantine unless manually published sooner." but the reviews have been on there for sometime. Is there something else that needs be done in the Client Portal/Business Profile settings to link the GMB?
Additionally, the TBC Google Profile "Share a link" is not https like the "Share you business profile link" is.

Great question! The answer comes down to the difference between First Party and Third Party Reviews
The article referenced above is about First Party Reviews, which are also referred to as Thryv Reviews for Business Center users. These are reviews collected by the business directly. These (and only these) can be displayed on your Business Page/Client Portal. There is a chance they can be picked up by Google and also displayed on your GBP, in the "reviews from other sites" section, but it is not guaranteed. Because these reviews are collected by you, they are yours to publish on sites that you own, such as your client portal or website.
Reviews from Google (or other sites) would be considered 3rd party reviews. These do not show up on your client portal, and aren't subject to the quarantine period. They are considered the intellectual property of the review site they were posted on, and these sites may or may not provide plugins or other tools to post them on your site.
Here is a link to Google's support site where they do provide access to that information via the API.
