Google Reviews Rich Snippets
-
Howdy Moz fans!
Does anyone know if you can use Google Reviews as a Rich Snippet in the actual Google listing for your business?
It seems strange that you can have this for widgets like Trust Pilot and Reviews.co.uk and not Google Reviews.
Surely Google allow you to display Google reviews on your site that can then be used for schema mark up?
Maybe they don't because those reviews are used for local searches?
Hope this makes sense.
David.

Has there been any further clarification on this?

Thanks James.
Google bang on about including rich content! You would think that they would see value in users of a website being able to directly view reviews from their own avenue! Hey ho, I guess it sits in the Google + card... maybe it will happen in the future!

Thanks Cesare!
Yes it is a strange one. I'm sure it will be added at some point in the near future!

Hi David,
I was asking myself the same questions. Its not stated anywhere clearly on their review snippet page or at least I didn't find it: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/reviews#review-snippets. I justed added them to my local business schema. I guess it does not do any harm.
By the way: if you do AdWords campaigns there is a review extension, where you can add reviews. Again here Google reviews are not allowed. I checked that some time ago with the Google support.
Cheers,
Cesare

Google Removed All Anonymous Reviews from GMB Listings with No Warning
I just saw that Google is no longer accepting anonymous reviews for businesses, and in fact have REMOVED all current anonymous reviews. This just happened in late May, but I'm pretty surprised there hasn't been any talk about this, it's a pretty big deal. Before I knew this I called their "specialists" to ask why we lost so many reviews. I specifically asked if Google had changed their review requirements that would result in old reviews being removed. She said no. She's either not well informed or just lied. https://orthopreneur.com/anonymous-google-reviews-disappeared/ My company just lost 20+ positive reviews. Anyone else hurting from the change and finding solutions?

Starting from which average review score to get full 5 star rating? Duolingo has a 5 star rating, but I doubt that they really have an all time review average larger than 4,75. In the google playstore their average of the android version is 4,6. Does anybody know how apple calculates the star ratings or has an URL reference where this is explained?0 -
Does advertising on Yelp help a business get more Yelp reviews?
I've gotten this question from a few clients. There seems to be a correlation in some cases between paying to advertise on Yelp, and the volume of reviews received. Of course, correlation does not necessarily equal causation. And I can attest to the fact that other clients who have at times advertised on Yelp did not even see a correlation. Has anyone else seen this correlation? And if so, can you speak to the possible causation or lack thereof?

Where Google+ Local Gets Listings?
I've seen a lot of business owners mention that their website is on Google+ Local but they say they never added it. Does anyone know which companies Google buys databases from and lists the businesses and unclaimed? And how often do they do this?
