      Hi all,

      I have been collecting reviews for a little while now. Ofcourse im hoping to cross the 150 reviews border soon 🙂

      But i also added the review markup to my website to show up in organic results. This was working fine for a while. I did not added the markup to my homepage. But now for somehow google is not showing this review markup anymore in search results. So i decided to give the company that is hosting the review tool (google partner also) a call. The informed me that they had a lot of calls and e-mails since 2 weeks from their customers. All with the same problem that review markup is not used in search results anymore.

      Anyone else had this, or know about this issue?

        Hi There!

        I would run your review schema through the structured data testing tool another time to double check that nothing has changed between when you implemented the schema and now: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

        Keep in mind that Google gets to choose whether or not they want to show the review schema on the SERPs. So, your best bet is having the schema on your website and knowing that it passes the schema grades—but know that there is a chance it will not appear on the search results. Google chooses who it shows up for and when it shows up, which can be annoying but as long as you have it implemented correctly you're doing everything you can.

          I did do a little experiment a few days ago to see if i could let my reviews show up on a 10 point scale instead of 5 point scale. I changed the rating value and added "bestRating" to the script. The testing tool showed no errors on this script. This could be related to this issue or could be pure coincidence.

          I changed it back to its original state, we will what happens.

          btw no other company in my niche is using review data. So we where unique in this.

          And here a list of the agencies or google partners that are trusted bij Google. Thats what i meant bij third parties / agencies that are hosting reviews. I'm using one of them. When reaching the 150 reviews they should add review markup automaticly to my adwords campaigns also. btw they where not saying reviews markup is no longer used, they mentiod getting a lot of complaints lately of customers saying google didnt gave them they yellow stars in search results anymore.

            have you ran a test - https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

            Make sure nothing has changed or gone missing from your schema.

            Your agency is clearly telling a lie that it is no longer being used. - type in "car insurance" and you will see loads.

              As far as I am aware digital agencies don't host reviews. The only Google "review" partners I am aware of are listed on the link  below.

              https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375474?hl=en-GB Update - sorry the above link was for Google Adwords 😞 My bad...

              Like you said it could be temporary and there have been instances of bugs in the past which have stopped them displaying, or Google may have chosen to stop reviews for your niche - or are others still displaying?

              Have they chosen another site to show the ratings over yours?

                Hi Tim,

                Thnx for replying, and i'm fully aware of the fact that its up to google to use the markup or not. I 'm hoping this is just a temporary thing. But what caused me to to post this here, is that the agency that is hosting the review tool mentioned they got a high number of questions / complains about this since 2 weeks now.

                  We also use review mark-up. We use it based on aggregated / combined scores - say 200 reviews average 4.7 out of 5 etc.

                  As far as I am aware Google is still using this schema markup and it is indeed showing up for us at press.

                  The one thing to consider however, is that Google chooses to either show the rating or not. Just because you have it in place does not mean they will use it. If the rest of your niche also uses the schema you may find that Google will only select a few at a time.

                    Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation

                    I know optimisation is now considered 'old hat' but like many old hats not only is it comfortable but it is (in my experience) still functional and working in ranking websites. Yes there are plenty of other drivers, but I still consider optimisation to be important, hence the question Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation? From my (limited in many ways) understanding this puts hundreds if not thousands of extra words on a page - so this must surely be reducing the amount of optimisation?  And then could it actually lead to a decline in rankings? Has anyone had any experience in this, I would love to use the Google Reviews plugin but just wanted to be sure first... Many thanks KT

                    What schema markup to add to case study?

                    What would be the best schema markup to add to a case study? I am somewhere between choosing an 'article' or a 'review'. A review is not really right though, because it's not a customer leaving feedback, it's the company's take on their performance. Any opinions?

                    Do quotation marks in content effect SERPs?

                    Some of my art object products have words and phrases  engraved on them. The words  relate to the images on the product. In the product descriptions, I have been putting quotes around the entire list. Would I get better long tail results if I didn't use the quotation marks?   In other words, do the quotes make everything between them an exact match phrase? For example:
                    Current product description: 
                    The worlds around the edge of the lazy susan read, "Explore nature. Dream big. Take time to smell the flowers. Enjoy the changing seasons. Seize the day. Relish the night. Live life to the fullest." Thank you for helping with this, all comments on how to present this kind of content are welcomed- Stephen kSOjt5a

                    Hi Guys, I am trying to figure out why my page titles and meta d tags are getting cut off in Goofle SERPS. My page titles are 70 characters or under (including spaces) and my meta Dd's are 155 characters or under (including spaces) so I cannot work out why They are getting cut off. Is there something I have missed?! Thanks, Meaghan

                    Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?

                    Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
