Reviews not shown on google search & seller rating extensions (adwords)
-
Hello,
we have 2 questions, regarding reviews from rating websites.
1. Reviews on google Search
We have several reviews for our website www.theprintspace.co.uk from various rating sites (e.g. qype, yelp, remotegoat, etc.). When searching for theprintspace on google, only some reviews and only some rating website are shown, most are not.
For qype, for instance, we have 8 reviews, but google only indicates that we have 3. The yelp reviews (and many others) are not shown at all. According to google, it takes a maximum of 2 months for the correct number of reviews to be shown on google, but the reviews have been online for over 2 months now.
Is there any way this problem can be solved, so google shows the correct number of reviews?
2. Seller rating extensions on google adwords
We would like the reviews to be displayed in our google adwords as a seller rating extension. These will include the merchant star rating for advertisers that are highly rated on Google Product Search. We are setting up a google merchant account to do so.
Google says:
"Ratings are based on the user reviews collected by Google Product Search, which aggregates reviews from a broad base of sources across the web, including Reseller Ratings, Bizrate, ReviewCentre.com and Viewpoints."
Do you know if the following rating website are in google's "base of sources" and will thus be recognised and used in google adwords as rating extensions?
Yelp
Qype
Scoot
Remotegoat
viewlondon
tipped
Or does google only source from big e-commerce rating websites? How do we get the ratings into our adwords?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Pashmina,
Thanks, that seems to correspond with the type of information I've been finding. So, we could integrate something like TrustPilot or Trusted Shops on our website (so people can make product specific reviews).
And then - is it automatic? Do they automatically show up on our google places page and on our adwords, or do we need to switch something on/do something else?
Thanks so much for the help!

Sounds like the reviews you've accumulated are for your company as a whole. Not for specific products. You'll need product specific reviews for them to to show up in Google's product extensions.

Hi Semil,
Thanks for your answer. I had checked the link before, we were just wondering, which review sites google uses as a source. We have the impression it is only the big e-commerce sites (http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185155). Our reviews are on
Yelp, Qype, Scoot, Remotegoat, viewlondon, tipped.
Do you know if these rating website are in google's "base of sources" and will thus be recognised and used in google adwords as rating extensions?
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Best Practices: Mobile & Desktop Ad Design for Adwords?
Is it possible to have Google Adwords display different page versions according to whether an advertisement will be displayed on a mobile or desktop device? We are a commercial real estate brokerage based in New York City. Most converting website use desktop rather than mobile. We are considering advertising on Google Adwords. Is it possible to have Google serve a more elaborate form of desktop landing page but have Google serve a stripped down version to mobile users? The stripped down version would be created using Instapage. From a technical perspective how would we create a more elaborate desktop version and have Google distinguish between the two? In our experience, mobile converts much less. How much less should we bid for keywords displaying on mobile? Thanks!

Google-powered search bar suddenly returning totally different results than usual - User Intent?
Our website has a Google powered search bar and for some popular keywords it has always returned the same results but for the past week it has been returning totally different and nonsensical results with the previous top 2 entries now on the 2nd and 4th pages of the results. It seems to be mixing up two separate keywords which the same user may search for but which both mean two very different things. Is this a User Intent issue do you think? Anyone know if there's anything we can do to stop it? I'm guessing not...

Do Online Reviews Increase Search Engine Rankings?
Do the mere presence of reviews on product pages increase a page's ranking or standing in the SERPs? I'm not referring to driving more traffic with a product page because there's more content, long tail keywords, more updates to the page as reviews roll in, etc. Has there been any study around whether a product page began ranking better by simply adding review functionality?

Landing Page Conversion Rates
I had a client claiming his industry (replacement home windows) conversion rate was around 15% based on his research. In my research i could find nothing of the sort, and really couldn't find a single place that provided this type of information. Anyone out there have some advice on where to research industry conversion rates (averages) or tools/thought processes to explore? Thanks! (these stats would primarily be used for goal setting and competitive analysis)
