To get Google reviews on search results, you need to:
- Claim and verify your Google Business Profile. This is a free listing that allows you to manage your business information on Google Search and Maps.
- Encourage customers to leave reviews. You can do this by adding a link to your Google Business Profile to your website, email signature, and social media pages. You can also ask customers for reviews in person or over the phone.
- Respond to all reviews, both positive and negative. This shows that you value customer feedback and are committed to providing a good experience.

Google displays reviews in search results through Google My Business (GMB) listings. If you have a business, you can create and manage your Google My Business profile to showcase your reviews and ratings in search results. Here's how you can do it:
Create or Claim your Google My Business Listing: If you haven't already, go to the Google My Business website (https://www.google.com/business/) and create a listing for your business. If your business already exists on Google Maps, you'll need to claim and verify ownership.
Optimize your Google My Business Profile: Fill in all the necessary details, such as business name, address, phone number, website, business hours, and category. Add high-quality images of your business, products, or services. Make sure your profile is complete and accurate.
Encourage Customers to Leave Reviews: Provide excellent products or services and encourage your satisfied customers to leave reviews on your Google My Business listing. The more positive reviews you have, the better your chances of standing out in search results.
Respond to Reviews: Engage with your customers by responding to their reviews, both positive and negative. This shows that you value their feedback and are actively involved in managing your business.
Keep Information Up-to-date: Regularly update your business information, especially if you have changes in operating hours, location, or contact details.
Improve Local SEO: Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help improve your business's visibility in local search results. Use relevant keywords in your business description and posts.
Get Citations and Backlinks: Encourage other websites to mention your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) accurately and consistently. These citations and backlinks can help improve your local search presence.
Please note that Google's search algorithms and features may change over time, so it's essential to stay updated with the latest guidelines and recommendations from Google regarding Google My Business and reviews in search results. To ensure you have the most current information, visit the official Google My Business website and the Google Support Center.

To get Google reviews to appear in search results, you need to follow a few key steps. Google reviews can have a significant impact on your online reputation and visibility, so it's important to optimize your presence. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Google My Business (GMB) listing: Start by creating a GMB listing for your business. Provide accurate and detailed information about your business, such as the address, phone number, website, and hours of operation. Verify your listing to gain access to additional features.
Encourage customers to leave reviews: Actively encourage your customers to leave reviews on your Google My Business profile. You can do this by asking them in person, including a call-to-action on receipts, or sending follow-up emails after a purchase. Make it easy for them to leave reviews by providing a direct link to your GMB profile.
Provide excellent customer service: Deliver exceptional customer service to increase the likelihood of positive reviews. Satisfied customers are more likely to leave positive feedback, which can enhance your reputation and attract potential customers.
Monitor and respond to reviews: Regularly monitor the reviews on your Google My Business profile. Respond promptly and professionally to both positive and negative reviews. Engaging with reviewers shows that you value their feedback and demonstrates your commitment to customer satisfaction.
We have done the same procedure on our website Prism Digital and with client's websites and these steps played a key role.

@remcoz Sure, Remco! The stars you see in organic search results are known as Rich Snippets. They are generated by Google from structured data or Schema markup that is added to your website's code. This markup provides additional details about the data on your website, including customer reviews and ratings.
To get these star ratings to appear in organic search results, you need to implement the correct Schema markup on your website. This typically involves adding specific HTML tags to your website's code to provide more information about your content to search engines.
Once you've added the appropriate Schema markup, Google bots will crawl your website and if they find the structured data relevant and of good quality, they may choose to display your star ratings in the search results. It's important to note that it's ultimately up to Google whether they show these ratings or not.
Given the technical nature of adding Schema markup, it might be beneficial to work with a web developer or an SEO specialist who is experienced in this area. They can help ensure that the markup is implemented correctly, which can increase your chances of getting those star ratings displayed in organic search results.
Remember, consistency and high-quality service that lead to positive reviews are just as crucial in this process. Keep up the great work and continue to provide an excellent experience for your customers. Good luck!

How long after https migration that google shows in search console new sitemap being indexed?
We migrated 4 days ago to https and followed best practices..
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | lcourse
In search console now still 80% of our sitemaps appear as "pending" and among those sitemaps that were processed only less than 1% of submitted pages appear as indexed? Is this normal ?
How long does it take for google to index pages from sitemap?
Before https migration nearly all our pages were indexed and I see in the crawler stats that google has crawled a number of pages each day after migration that corresponds to number of submitted pages in sitemap. Sitemap and crawler stats show no errors.0 -

How to maximize CTR from Google image search?
I'm getting good, solid growth in my Google SERPs and Google search traffic now, but I do notice that 70% of my high ranking search results are images and the CTR on those is only 3-4%. All my images are illustrative and highly relevant to my travel blog, but I guess that hardly matters unless they get CTR so people see them in context. Has anyone seen or done any good research on what makes people click through on Google Image Search results? What are the key factors? How do you optimize for click-through? Is it better to watermark your images or overlay label them to increase likelihood of click-through? Thanks, Tony FYI the travel blog in question is www.asiantraveltips.com and a relevant Google search where I rank highly is "songkran 2016 phuket".

When i search for my domain name - google asks "did you mean" - why?
Hi all, I just noticed something quite odd - if i do a search for my domain name (see: http://goo.gl/LBc1lz) google shows my domain as first result, but it also asks "did i mean" and names another website with very similar name. the other site has far lower PA/DA according to Moz, any ideas why google is doing this? and more inportantly how i could stop it? please advise James

Best practice for removing indexed internal search pages from Google?
Hi Mozzers I know that it’s best practice to block Google from indexing internal search pages, but what’s best practice when “the damage is done”? I have a project where a substantial part of our visitors and income lands on an internal search page, because Google has indexed them (about 3 %). I would like to block Google from indexing the search pages via the meta noindex,follow tag because: Google Guidelines: “Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don't add much value for users coming from search engines.” http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769 Bad user experience The search pages are (probably) stealing rankings from our real landing pages Webmaster Notification: “Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site” with links to our internal search results I want to use the meta tag to keep the link juice flowing. Do you recommend using the robots.txt instead? If yes, why? Should we just go dark on the internal search pages, or how shall we proceed with blocking them? I’m looking forward to your answer! Edit: Google have currently indexed several million of our internal search pages.
