Rather than using $(document).ready()
try this:
<script>
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ButtonFunc");
function ButtonFunc() {
$('.ms-qcb-leftzone').append('<li class="ms-qcb-item"><a href="http://www.google.com">ButtonName</a></li>');
})
<script>
If this doesn't work check that the selector $('.ms-qcb-leftzone')
is actually finding something by doing something like:
var elems = $('.ms-qcb-leftzone');
console.log(elems.length);
