Trustpilot Rich Snippets Guide

Rich snippet-sterren tonen je online reputatie aan potentiële klanten. Ze helpen je website op te vallen in Googles SERPs en verhogen je CTR. Ontdek hoe je er optimaal van profiteert!

*Sterke* SEO vereist wat inzet, maar er zijn enkele tools die het verhogen van je organische traffic een stuk simpeler kunnen maken. 

Zo zijn er ‘rich snippets’: een SEO-krachtpatser die de organische traffic naar je site een flinke boost kan geven. Bovendien kun je er heel eenvoudig voor in aanmerking komen. Deze snelle, effectieve tool is dus ideaal voor drukke marketeers.

## Wat zijn rich snippets precies?

Rich snippets zijn, simpel gezegd, de sterrenscores die je soms onder organische zoekresultaten ziet staan.

Volgens [Googles developer site](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review-snippet) is een rich snippet een kort fragment (quote) of score van een review van een betrouwbaar reviewplatform, meestal weergegeven als gemiddelde score van verschillende reviews.

Wanneer Google [gestructureerde gegevens](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data) van je reviews of scores op je website vindt, kan deze je site-inhoud weergeven als een uitgebreid resultaat ([rich result](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results)) – wat je weergave in organische zoekresultaten verbetert en doorgaans voor meer traffic zorgt.  

Een voorbeeld van rich snippets:

Islandsurf.com-productpagina weergegeven als rich snippet-resultaat in organische zoekresultaten.

Islandsurf.com's product pages show up as rich snippet results in organic search

Islandsurf.com rich snippets

Omdat de sterrenscore en het aantal reviews al direct in de zoekresultaten te zien zijn, klikken potentiële klanten van [Islandsurf.com](https://www.islandersoutfitter.com/) sneller door naar hun site, omdat ze al gelijk een indruk krijgen van de goede [reputatie](https://f.hubspotusercontent10.net/hubfs/2749863/CEU%20Demand%20Generation/CEU%20HERO%20AND%20LOCAL%20CONTENT/The%20Value%20of%20a%20trustworthy%20brand%20reputation/NL%20Trustpilot-CEU%20Version%20-The%20Value%20of%20a%20Trustworthy%20Brand%20Reputation%20(3).pdf) van het bedrijf.

Zelfs voordat ze op de link klikken, krijgen consumenten al een idee van het soort ervaring dat ze kunnen verwachten, en biedt de positieve score hen meteen het nodige koopvertrouwen. Dit vergroot de kans dat ze op het zoekresultaat klikken aanzienlijk.

Studies tonen aan dat rich snippets in zoekresultaten [20-30% meer organische traffic](https://www.perficient.com/insights/research-hub/featured-snippets-guide) en [677% meer inkomsten](https://f.hubspotusercontent10.net/hubfs/2749863/CEU%20Demand%20Generation/CEU%20HERO%20AND%20LOCAL%20CONTENT/The%20Value%20of%20a%20trustworthy%20brand%20reputation/NL%20Trustpilot-CEU%20Version%20-The%20Value%20of%20a%20Trustworthy%20Brand%20Reputation%20(3).pdf) kunnen genereren.

De enorme SEO-waarde van deze rich results is duidelijk. Dit leidt tot de vraag:

## Hoe krijg ik rich snippets op mijn productpagina's in organisch zoeken?

De meeste mensen associëren sterren in zoekresultaten met betaalde advertenties, maar wist je dat je met het verzamelen van productreviews in aanmerking komt voor rich snippets in organische zoekresultaten?

Zodra je bent begonnen met het verzamelen en weergeven van [productreviews](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/features/product-reviews) via een review-widget met geldige gestructureerde data, is het tijd om Google te vragen je productpagina's opnieuw te crawlen.

Afhankelijk van het aantal producten dat je op je site verkoopt, kan het zinvol zijn om Google eerst je populairste producten te laten crawlen. Dit doe je zo:

- Log in op je Google Search Console en selecteer je website.
- Voer in het URL-controleveld de URL in van de pagina die de TrustBox bevat.
- Zodra de URL-gegevens zijn opgehaald, klik je op ‘Request Indexing’. Herhaal dit proces voor alle URL's die dezelfde TrustBox bevatten.


URL inspector

Als je een bericht krijgt met de tekst 'URL is not on Google', klik je op ‘Test Live URL’ om erachter te komen waarom Google je pagina niet kan crawlen.

Zodra Google je pagina's heeft geïndexeerd, zouden je review-snippets in hun zoekresultaten moeten verschijnen.

Je kunt ook [deze handige tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=nl) gebruiken om je URL's te testen en problemen met je resultaten op te lossen.

## Optimaliseer je organische traffic met rich snippets

Zodra je in aanmerking komt voor rich snippets, biedt [Google Search Console](https://searchengineland.com/google-search-console-adds-review-snippets-performance-enhancement-and-testing-reports-328925) je waardevolle tools om je paginaprestaties te volgen en om problemen op te lossen met pagina's waarvan de reviews nog niet in de zoekresultaten verschijnen.

Het geeft niet alleen fouten aan, maar laat je ook zien hoe je ze kunt oplossen – zo haal je het beste uit review-snippets op al je in aanmerking komende pagina's.

## Klaar voor rich snippets?

Om van rich snippets te profiteren, kies je eerst een betrouwbare aanbieder van productreviews met geldige gestructureerde gegevens. Dit kan heel eenvoudig: met onze [TrustBox-widgets](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/features/trustbox-widgets) en [e-commerce-integraties](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/partners/type/apps) maak je je productreview-data in enkele klikken vindbaar voor zoekmachines.

product reviews and photos trustpilot launch

Productreviews zijn een uitkomst voor de meeste shoppers. Shoppers die liever niet lukraak, maar weloverwogen een product kiezen dat het beste bij hen past. Hier kun jij je voordeel uit halen, door ook gebruik te maken van productreviews.

Productreviews zijn vooral nuttig wanneer ze user-generated content bevatten van echte klanten, en dat is precies waarom we je de mogelijkheid bieden om productreviews te gebruiken met onze [Productreviews-functie](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/features/product-reviews). Om je te helpen er het meeste uit te halen, leggen we in deze blog de vijf belangrijkste voordelen van dit soort reviews uit.

intro stats product reviews efficiency (NL)

## 1. Productreviews verhogen de omzet en de gemiddelde bestellingswaarde
Met [89% van de consumenten die online reviews raadplegen voor een aankoop](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/4-things-every-business-owner-should-know-about-the-state-of-reviews), is het cruciaal voor bedrijven om reviews over hun service te verzamelen en te laten zien. Maar voor veel bedrijven die producten verkopen, zijn reviews op serviceniveau niet altijd genoeg. Vanzelfsprekend is het altijd goed om consumenten reviews over je bedrijf te laten zien, maar afhankelijk van het soort producten dat je aanbiedt, kan het zijn dat een klant meer nodig heeft dan alleen de informatie die uit een bedrijfsreview gehaald kan worden.


AnnSummers Product Reviews on page example

Als je bijvoorbeeld kleding verkoopt, waarbij de consument eisen stelt aan kenmerken als kwaliteit en pasvorm, zijn reviews specifiek over elk product essentieel. Door reviews voor elk van je producten te tonen, verhoog je het consumentenvertrouwen en de geloofwaardigheid van je merk. 

De harde cijfers van de Britse multinationale retailer Ann Summers liegen er ook niet om. Ze zagen al een [enorme stijging in de conversie (76%)](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/customer-stories/get-seen-in-search/ann-summers-uses-product-reviews-to-increase-sales-up-to-230) door alleen maar van geen reviews naar een 1-sterrenscore te gaan. Productreviews met een hogere score gaven een nóg hogere conversieboost. Al met al zag hun webshop tot 230% meer conversie - met dank aan productreviews.

Conversion increase

In een van onze andere casestudies zag de Deense speelgoedwinkel Legeakademiet een [omzetstijging van 4,43%](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/customer-stories/training-education/how-product-reviews-increased-legeakademiet-revenue) door het tonen van productreviews op hun website, wat voor hen een bedrag van meer dan 200.000 euro was. Dit was zeer indrukwekkend, want slechts 20% van hun producten had productreviews toen ze de split-test uitvoerden.

## 2. Productreviews bieden nieuwe user-generated content
[User-generated content](https://blog.hootsuite.com/user-generated-content-ugc/) (UGC) is content die is gemaakt door gebruikers in plaats van bedrijven. Consumenten vinden UGC [dubbel](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190220005302/en/Stackla-Survey-Reveals-Disconnect-Content-Consumers-Marketers) zo authentieker dan content van merken. Klantreviews op websites kunnen de conversie met [74%](https://www.3dcart.com/ecommerce-university/why-your-eCommerce-store-needs-user-generated-content.html) verhogen. En 92% van de consumenten [vertrouwt mond-tot-mondreclame meer](https://blog.zoominfo.com/user-generated-content/) dan welke andere vorm van reclame dan ook. 

UGC kan ook erg krachtig zijn in de vorm van beeldmateriaal. Wanneer klanten foto's uploaden samen met hun productreviews, geeft het nieuwe klanten een beter beeld van wat ze kunnen verwachten als ze datzelfde product kopen.

Trustpilots [Productreviews-fotofunctie](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/features/product-reviews) maakt het heel eenvoudig om door gebruikers gemaakte foto's te verzamelen en weer te geven met je productreviews.

De door de gebruikers gegenereerde foto's van je producten kunnen ook worden gebruikt om advertenties zoals bovenstaande te maken voor social media. Zoals Simona hieronder benadrukt, kan dit tot meer transparantie leiden tussen je producten en je klanten.

## 3. Productreviews verhogen je SEO 
Productreviews helpen in de eerste plaats de SEO van je website door je voortdurend van nieuwe content te verschaffen. Laat dat nou net hetgeen zijn waar [Google dol op is](https://nl.business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/why-does-google-care-if-your-business-has-online-reviews-in-2019)!

product reviews example

Je SEO-prestaties hangen ook af van de hoeveelheid tijd die mensen op je website besteden. Ongeveer [70% van de consumenten](https://neilpatel.com/blog/seo-errors-ecommerce-websites/) dat een webshop bezoekt is op zoek naar reviews over producten. Als je website geen reviews toont, zullen de meeste bezoekers je site snel verlaten. Dit kan van invloed zijn op de statistieken van je website zoals bounce rate en bestedingstijd, [die beide een negatieve invloed kunnen hebben op je SEO](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/why-search-rankings-traffic-drop/264617/#close). Dit betekent dan ook dat je veel potentiële klanten mist. 

Last but not least: afhankelijk van de manier waarop je ze gebruikt, kunnen productreviews ook je sterrenscore weergeven in de zoekresultaten door middel van review snippets. Met deze kleine gouden sterren val je een stuk meer op in de resultatenpagina's van zoekmachines (SERP's). Zó veel meer zelfs, dat sommige Trustpilot-klanten hun doorklikratio's zagen stijgen met maximaal 35%.

## 4. Voeg foto's uit je productreviews toe aan Google Shopping en verhoog de doorklikratio

Wist je dat je met productreviews sterren kunt krijgen op Google Shopping? En dit je doorklikratio kan verhogen tot [15%](http://content.trustpilot.com/pdf/Google_Product_Ratings_PLA_Case_Studies.pdf)?

Deze sterren worden zowel op de resultatenpagina's van de zoekmachines (SERP's) als in Google Shopping weergegeven.

superdry google shopping product reviews example

In 2019 ontdekte Google dat voor [50% van de digitale shoppers](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9522897?hl=en) geldt dat afbeeldingen hen helpen bij hun aankoopbeslissingen. Om deze reden introduceerde Google [door gebruikers gegenereerde afbeeldingen in productreviews](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9522897?hl=nl) op Google Shopping.

Foto's van consumenten bij productreviews op Google Shopping

Customer photos attached to product reviews on Google Shopping

Door het verzamelen van productreviews met Trustpilot Productreviews, worden je productreviewfoto's automatisch naar Google gestuurd, zodat ze op je Shopping Ads kunnen verschijnen als ze hiervoor in aanmerking komen. Het is momenteel alleen beschikbaar in de VS en op mobiele apparaten, maar Google [is van plan om dit uit te breiden](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9522897?hl=nl).

## 5. Geoptimaliseerd voorraadbeheer en productkeuze

Het verzamelen van productreviews kan je bedrijf waardevolle [klantinzichten](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/learn-from-customers/what-are-consumer-insights-and-how-do-i-use-them) opleveren. Als je weet welke producten je klanten echt kunnen waarderen en welke niet, wordt het nemen van zakelijke beslissingen makkelijker.

En vergeet niet producten met middelmatige ratings! Als je producten hebt die consequent 3-sterrenreviews krijgen, kun je met behulp van die reviews aan het licht brengen wat de verbeterpunten zijn van die middelmatig scorende producten - en kun je ze omzetten in 5-sterrenproducten.

Dit is nog iets dat [Legeakademiet doet met hun productreviews](https://business.trustpilot.com/customer-stories/training-education/how-product-reviews-increased-legeakademiet-revenue). Ann Reimer (oprichter en partner) zei: "Via productreviews vertellen klanten ons over welke producten we meer van moeten inslaan en welke we moeten stopzetten. [Productreviews] helpen ons met het kiezen van de juiste producten, net zo goed als ze onze klanten helpen". In de online marktplaats van vandaag is dit het soort mindset dat alle bedrijven zouden moeten hebben. Reviews zijn niet alleen een manier om consumenten te helpen, ze helpen bedrijven ook om precies te weten hoe ze hun klanten tevreden kunnen stellen. 

### Boost je verkoop vandaag nog met behulp van productreviews
Als je iets online verkoopt, kunnen productreviews grote voordelen opleveren voor je bedrijf op het gebied van conversie, SEO en productontwikkeling.

How Google Shopping and Trustpilot work together to support rapid business growth

In this article, we'll explain how Google Shopping and Trustpilot work together to help businesses like yours get more visibility and grow.

Mobile commerce is predicted to [account for more than 70% of all eCommerce sales by the end of 2021](https://fashiondiscounts.uk/mobile-commerce-statistics/). And that’s another trend that will likely only continue to grow. This means that every day, hundreds of millions of people are turning to Google for help with their shopping needs and choosing options based on what they find in search. 

Fortunately for those medium and smaller  brands, automated feed technology has become scalable and accessible and businesses  of all sizes can use Google Shopping. So let’s take a deeper look into how it can benefit your brand. 

## What is Google Shopping? 

Google Shopping is the tab in search that shows consumers shopping options for whatever they’ve typed into the search engine. For brands, it enables customers looking for products similar to yours to easily find and purchase from you. It lets consumers compare products from different retailers and shows them both paid and organic listings. It also offers product recommendations based on the user's shopping and search history. 

Best of all, in April 2020, Google introduced Free Listings, a program to let brands list their products for free. This helps brands of all sizes compete with the retail giants and take advantage of Google’s scale and reach, so that consumers can more easily find their products. 

##  How does it work and what are the benefits?

You’re probably already familiar with how Google Shopping looks and works from the consumer side. But there are a few key things to remember as a brand using Google Shopping. 

Because they’re ranked above the organic listing, Google Ads give you the best visibility in search. They also direct users directly to your site to complete purchases. But Free Listings can also be a great way to lift your visibility and reach new customers.When clicked, Google  shows the user more product information, customer reviews, and inventory information, allowing for a better and more holistic user shopping experience. 

## Strategies to maximize your success with Google Shopping

Whether you’re using Google Ads or Free Listings, you’ll still want to make sure you’re getting the most out of Google Shopping. 

### 1. Maximize your listing titles 

You have 150 characters and you want to use as many as possible. What are the most important aspects of your product that you want to highlight and use to capture the attention of a shopper with a large amount of options in front of them? 

### 2. Nail down your descriptions

Your descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters, but the preview will only show the first 200. What do you need to include in that first 200 to ensure that as many shoppers as possible click to view the full description?

### 3. Enhance your images  

The higher quality your product images are the better. Are they clear? Are they visually pleasing? Images can play a huge role in which product a consumer selects, so the more effort you can put in here the better your chances at beating out your competitors. 

### 4. Use banners to highlight important selling points

The more you can do to make your product stand out on a page, the better. Especially if you can have a sale or promotional offer. Adding banners with offers like sale, *20% off*, or price drop will draw users’ eyes to your listing and help encourage them to choose yours over the other alternatives. 

## How can Google + Trustpilot help bring awareness to your brand while optimizing your Google Shopping strategy?

Being as transparent as possible helps consumers make more informed decisions and boosts consumer trust in businesses. 

[Trusted Google Reviews Partners like Trustpilot](https://business.trustpilot.com/features/review-seo) can help retailers have their online reviews displayed directly on their product listings in Google Shopping. 

Why is that important today?

[89% of global consumers check online reviews](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/build-trusted-brand/the-critical-role-of-reviews-in-internet-trust) as part of their online buying journey, and [49% of global consumers consider positive reviews one of their top 3 purchase influences](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/build-trusted-brand/the-critical-role-of-reviews-in-internet-trust). 

Whether you’re a smaller business looking to bring awareness to your brand, or a bigger business simply looking to optimize your Google Shopping strategy, showcasing a trust signal such as ratings and reviews can help you stand out from the crowd, and differentiate yourself from other competitors in Google Shopping.

Not all campaigns will have Seller Ratings. If you can’t find it in a campaign, please try and check another.

## 5. Data clean up: Separate ads with and without Seller Ratings

The overall campaign data contains a mix of data from ads with and without Seller Ratings, so you should use a spreadsheet to calculate any difference there might be between the two types of ads.

We provided a free template for you to use to calculate your GSR performance:

- [Excel file (download)](https://assets.ctfassets.net/b7g9mrbfayuu/f6vqc8BqScQaEIwqCa6KK/5a6f58b12bc33d5b9e6da977eff88e43/Trustpilot___Cykelpartner_-_How_to_calculate_Google_Seller_Ratings_affect_on_Adwords_ads__1_.xlsx)

Place the data from your “Total – all ad groups” into the top row:

Separate ads with and without Seller Ratings

Data from total ad groups

Insert the “Seller Ratings” data into the Seller Ratings row.

Type the “Seller Ratings” data into the Seller Ratings row

Billede-5

Seller rating data 

Once these steps are completed, your spreadsheet will automatically calculate the performance of ads without Google Seller Ratings, the difference between the ads with and without Seller Ratings, and ultimately, the impact of Google Seller Ratings on your ads.

Please note: Our spreadsheet and how Google ads calculates CTR, CPC, Conversion Rate and CPA can differ slightly as the tools use different amounts of decimals when making the calculations. So please expect minor discrepancies when comparing your spreadsheet's results to the Google ads numbers.

## 6. First results

The results

This Cykelpartner.dk campaign saw their click-through rate decrease by 4.45%, and their CPC increase by 7.04%. 

However, more importantly, their conversion rate jumped a massive 34.66%, resulting in a substantial overall 20.51% decrease in cost per conversion/acquisition (CPA) on the ads with Google Seller Ratings.

Ultimately Google Seller Ratings provided Cykelpartner.dk an average 11.42% decrease in CPA, which saved them more than €40.000/yearly. However, please note that every company's experience will be different.

## 7. Calculate your Google Ads performance

We strongly recommend entering data from five different campaigns to get an average which can be used to calculate the impact of your Google ads based on your yearly spend for that channel.

The spreadsheet should automatically calculate this if you input your yearly Google ads spend in the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Please note: If you see a positive number, it means that Google Seller Ratings are saving you money. If you see a negative number, then it means that the extension is costing you money.

## Accounting for differences in campaign results

Cykelpartner.dk saves +€40.000/yearly with Google Seller Ratings. But what if you have different results, or worse, negative results? 

Here are a few tips to ensure you’re tracking everything correctly:

- Have you looked across a representative number of campaigns for your account? For some, five campaigns is not enough as results can vary greatly and some might have a negative impact, but overall, it should be positive.
- Know your competitive environment. Do your competitors have better Seller Ratings and/or more reviews than you?
- Did your average ad position drop on ads with Seller Ratings? This can, of course, affect the ad performance.

## Making the most of Google Seller Ratings

Consumers have an abundance of choice today and this requires quick decision-making and adapting to a new consumer environment for businesses. If your competitors have better Google Seller Ratings or more reviews than you, they might be beating you to the sale. If that’s the case, the way to get ahead and get more reviews and a better rating is by improving your review collection, as well as your overall service.

Most businesses have an abundance of happy customers, but don’t proactively invite them to leave reviews. Collecting customer feedback through a Google Seller Rating [qualified review platform](https://uk.business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/trustpilot-customer-review-software) can make a huge difference.

Proactive collection will lead to a higher quantity of reviews. It also offers a better representation of your company. Remember, an unhappy customer will always find a way to make their voice heard, so it’s up to you to make sure you’re giving your happy customers a platform to share their experiences as well.

Reviews aren’t only beneficial for your potential customers – many of our clients have realized that reviews power benefits like Google Seller Ratings, which can accelerate click-through rates, conversions, and revenue. 

Reviews can also be used to improve traffic, on-page conversions, and build trust in all of your marketing campaigns. Google Seller Ratings are just the beginning!

Trustpilot word of mouth and SEO guide

Word of mouth and SEO are more trustworthy alternatives to advertising, but which one is more effective? Take an in-depth look at some pros and cons for each

A recent ClickZ study found that a staggering 84% of millennials [don’t trust traditional advertising](https://www.clickz.com/84-percent-of-millennials-dont-trust-traditional-advertising/27030/ "84 percent of millennials don't trust traditional advertising") and a study by Credos found that favorable opinions of advertising have [dipped as low as 25%](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/build-trusted-brand/6-ways-to-make-trust-your-essential-brand-differentiator "The value of a trustworthy brand reputation"). 

As traditional advertising becomes less and less effective, brands must turn to different ways of attracting new customers. Two of the most effective strategies available are SEO and word-of-mouth marketing because they also exist for the benefit of consumers, not just brands. 

Regardless of what brands are up to, Google’s goal is to [serve the most relevant results](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/why-does-google-care-if-your-business-has-online-reviews-in-2019?refresh=2020 "Why does Google care if your business has online reviews") for that searcher — and customers leave reviews to help other shoppers have better experiences. 

And while the main similarity between both marketing channels is that they share an organic quality that’s intuitive to consumers, there are many differences — and it can be challenging for brands to figure out which approach makes the most sense for them. 

## Help your target audience find you with good SEO

Did you know that 67.6% of clicks on the first page [come from the first five search results](https://www.impactplus.com/blog/seo-statistics#:~:text=70%25%20of%20marketers%20see%20SEO,their%20top%20inbound%20marketing%20priority. "31 SEO statistics for 2021 and what they tell us")? And that 53% of all of all trackable website traffic [comes from organic search](https://videos.brightedge.com/research-report/BrightEdge_ChannelReport2019_FINAL.pdf "Channel report 2019")? That represents a huge amount of market share you could be winning from your competitors by putting more of a focus on organic SEO. 

Brand visibility is one of the biggest benefits to SEO. And – unlike word-of-mouth – you’re not relying on others to get the word out about your brand. Google is typically the first place someone starts when they’re searching for a product or service, so the higher you are on the first page of search results, the more eyes you’re going to get on your site. Which [translates into more sales](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/why-seo-is-important-for-business/248101/#close "12 reasons why your business absolutely needs SEO") for your brand. 

There are a few added bonuses as well. Because user experience on your site is such an important factor for Google’s rankings, part of good SEO is improving your site experience so that you can rank well in search. This means a better experience for your site’s visitors, and [higher conversion rates](https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2018/03/29/ux-conversion-rates#:~:text=Video%20on%20Landing%20Pages,lot%20of%20text%20to%20absorb.&text=Studies%20show%20that%20using%20videos,a%20page%27s%20UX%20is%20improved. "6 powerful ways UX can affect your conversion rates") for you. 

SEO is brand awareness in its most effective form because if all goes to plan, your page will appear for searchers with the right buying intent. The higher you rank for exactly what they’re looking for, the better the chance they’ll land on your site. This is what makes SEO so valuable, even though it can seem complex and challenging. 

### Organic SEO builds trust with customers

One of the biggest things to remember about organic SEO – and this is both a pro and a con – is that results are not quick. It will take time. But as frustrating as this is, it also means that once you’re ranking well it’s challenging for your competitors to come in and take your spot.

Consumers aren’t stupid. Organic SEO builds so much trust with them because they understand that it’s in Google’s best interests to show them the best search result for that specific search term. Ranking well in search helps them find your business in a quick and natural way, without them feeling like they’re being marketed to. 

## Let your happiest customers do the talking for you

There are many different types of word-of-mouth marketing. Essentially, anything that has your customers talking about your brand is word-of-mouth. This can include influencer marketing, customer reviews, and even old school face-to-face conversations. 

Just like with organic SEO, the stats around word-of-mouth are pretty compelling. 74% of consumers [identify word-of-mouth as a key influencer](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/ogilvy-cannes-study-behold-the-power-of-word-of-mouth/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1620229454681000&usg=AOvVaw3-PBeHN5Dj4JweQACyRN5i "Behold the power of word of mouth") in their purchasing decision and 85% of website visitors [find visual user-generated content more influential](https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/why-consumers-share-user-generated-content-infographic/ "Why consumers share user-generated content") than brand photos or videos. And that’s just the beginning in terms of [word-of-mouth’s effectiveness](https://www.getambassador.com/blog/word-of-mouth-marketing-statistics "40+ word of mouth statistics you should know"). 

Reviews are one of the easiest ways to implement a word-of-mouth marketing strategy, especially if you’re [automating review invitations](https://business.trustpilot.com/features/review-invitations "Review invitations | product features") every time someone makes a purchase. This ensures that you have a lot of [user-generated content](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/a-beginner-guide-to-building-brand-loyalty-with-user-generated-content "A beginner's guide to building brand loyalty with user-generated content") to highlight throughout your customer journey and that your mix of customer reviews are an accurate representation of how your customers feel. 

The biggest benefit to collecting reviews is that they have a wide range of uses for your business. Showcasing them throughout your customer journey can [seriously improve your conversion rates](https://business.trustpilot.com/customer-stories/ecommerce/ann-summers-uses-product-reviews-to-increase-sales-up-to-230 "How Ann Summers used product reviews to increase sales by 230%"). They contain powerful consumer insights that can help you [improve your customer experience and increase your revenue](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/learn-from-customers/turning-reviews-into-revenue-how-to-get-insights-from-your-feedback "Turning reviews into real revenue with consumer insights"). And they’re a great way to [build your online reputation](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/build-trusted-brand/4-reasons-why-every-business-needs-online-reputation-management "4 reasons why every business needs an online reputation strategy"). 

One main factor that differentiates word-of-mouth from SEO is that you can see results pretty quickly. When you’re looking at reviews and conversion rates, all you need to do is A/B test pages on your site after adding reviews and within a few weeks you should be able to see what your new conversion rates are. 

### Word-of-mouth marketing and SEO go hand-in-hand

But there’s one more big impact reviews can have on your business that might surprise you. Reviews can actually [improve your SEO](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/browsers-to-buyers/the-complete-guide-to-reviews "The complete guide to marketing with customer reviews"). Although these two strategies may not seem to have much in common, they’re more connected than you might think. 


One of the biggest impacts reviews can have on SEO is [qualifying you for rich snippets](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/get-seen-in-search/rich-snippets-stars-for-product-reviews-can-boost-seo "How to improve your organic SEO with rich snippets") in search by including product reviews on your site. And rich snippets don’t just make your site look nice in SERPs – they [can increase your organic traffic by 30%](https://searchengineland.com/seo-featured-snippets-leads-big-gains-236212 "SEO for featured snippets") and [increase your revenue from organic traffic](https://www.perficient.com/insights/research-hub/featured-snippets-guide "Featured snippets resource center") by 677%.

## Word-of-mouth strengthens all of your marketing and advertising

Although SEO and word-of-mouth have many differences, the one thing they have in common is that both of them help you build trust for your brand with new shoppers more authentically than advertising does. So – if you’ve been asking yourself if word of mouth is better than SEO – to build trust with your customers, SEO and word-of-mouth actually work best hand-in-hand. 

For most brands, it’s worth focusing on these two strategies instead of funneling all of your budget into advertising that might come across as – well – exactly that. It might be tempting to look at this cynically and see these two strategies as no better than advertising. After all, you’re still just trying to sell a product or service at the end of the day. But that couldn’t be further than the truth. 

Focusing on these two strategies forces you to actually focus on what your customers need  – helping Google show your brand to people who are actually looking for your product, and ensuring your customer experience is so good that your customer reviews can convert new customers. 

The key is to make it easier for customers who are already looking for your products — not to try and sell your business to the people who aren’t.

importance of reviews and Google for ecommerce

Online reviews are a great and easy way to increase traffic, improve PPC and SEO results, build your online reputation, eliminate doubt and increase customer confidence.

Online reviews can serve as a guide to consumers during the customer journey and the decision-making process. Today, 92% of consumers read online reviews, and word of mouth remains the most popular method of recommendation for consumers.

## The importance of online reviews

Online reviews are a great and easy way to increase traffic, improve PPC and SEO results, build your online reputation, eliminate doubt, as well as increase customer confidence.

But what makes stars in search so powerful?

Online reviews appearing in search results affect the way browsers find and view your business. The nature of the reviews naturally determine whether or not the shopper is going to engage with your brand.

Depending on how you collect reviews, you’ll have review snippets stars display on organic search results, and stars show up as part of your Google Seller Ratings on Google Ads, which can have positive impacts on click-through rates and traffic.

In 2018, Moz attributed 13% of traffic value to online reviews (review quantity, review diversity, etc.), making customer feedback the 5th most important ranking factor.

Claiming feedback and reviews and managing them correctly with a Google review partner such as Trustpilot can directly impact your search performance.

But how can your business achieve Google Seller Ratings to showcase reviews directly on the search engine results page?

Customized Google Ads campaigns will help you do better at reaching the right people and get closer to true personalized marketing

Customization might not be true personalization, but a better Google Ads strategy will still help you reach your very best customers!

## Why customized and personalized marketing are essential to every business’ growth

Personalized marketing should be a focus for all marketers out there. By collecting relevant data, it’s possible to create personal interactions and experiences with dynamic content and product recommendations based on purchase history and shopping behavior.

With Google Ads, the tailored experience you can offer users isn’t true personalization (since Google is protective of user data) – but it’s just as important in order to target the right people at the right time.

It’s important for businesses to know if someone’s visited their website 5 times in the last 30 days, what device their target audience uses the most, what items consumers keep adding to their cart, or what keywords they search for – all these aspects could be just as beneficial for marketers as knowing the user’s gender, specific age, ethnicity or other demographics.

## Less is more when targeting in Google Ads

The most common mistake when using Google Ads to customize your marketing is to optimize for terms that are too broad. A funeral business paying for the keyword “dead” without thinking further could be losing all their Ads budget to teenagers searching for “Is Justin Bieber dead?”

It all comes down to understanding how keywords and searches work, and how to use negative search terms. Once you fully master Google Ads and know what results you want from your digital marketing efforts, you’ll see that doing less is actually doing more! This is really important for a good Google Ads strategy.

Start by targeting more narrow than you usually would in a Google Ads campaign.
Is most of your business’ revenue coming from mobile devices? Start by targeting these. If 90% of your customers are women, target women only. If your main customers are between 24 and 29 years old, then direct your campaign to this age group only, and exclude everyone else.

If the biggest part of your campaign shows results in only three cities, don’t set your campaign for the whole country. Don’t waste your money targeting other ages, geographic areas, genders or devices just because your company may have these target groups set in your overall digital marketing strategy.

## More narrow keywords with higher buying intent gets you closer to personalized marketing

Along with more narrow targeting, you should also go deeper if you want to create great personalization and better experiences using data from Google Ads. Having one keyword that correlates well with your ad and landing page (used both in your title and description) is a great first step. If Nike sneakers are what you want to campaign around, don’t just go with “sneakers”, but be more specific and go with an exact match, like: “Nike Air Max Sneakers”. Your target group will, on the one hand, be very limited and specific – but on the other hand, the bid for this certain keyword is probably cheaper and the intent behind the search term is certainly higher.

Working with single-category keywords such as “shoes” is not as common in Google Ads – only about 5% of eCommerce businesses are large enough to find profit in this technique.

Define the different campaigns based on the intent of the user; if he or she is a new customer or a returning one, for example. To continue with the shoe example, your Ads will perform better by being more defined: try to add color, size, brand name or product category (as well as some more budget!) – to get more spot-on results.


Marten barkfeld quote

Morten Barkfeld quote

## Be aware of your different margins in Google Ads campaigns

Your gross margins are probably one of the most important things to take into consideration when planning your Google Ads strategy.

If you have products with wildly different gross margins, say 25% vs 75% – you should not have these in the same campaign. The granularity is important here, in terms of different gross margins, products, and categories.

If you have to cut down on your Google Ads' budget, you don’t want to mess up the products with the highest gross margins.

## Get to know your “eCommerce economics”

If you’re selling clothes, you probably know that a lot of people tend to order the same item in different sizes, and simply return the ones that don’t fit – making “intentional returns”. If you’re in electronics, on the other hand – the return rate is only around 5%.

Return and shipping rates are important costs to track. Include them when you set your ROI target for your Google Ads. You should also consider what you must pay in lost sales and orders you cannot fulfill for some reason – if the product wasn’t in stock, for example.

Whenever someone clicks one of your ads in Google, you will be charged, even if the purchase is never completed or if you have to send the customer their money back.

Based on these different factors, Keywordio has developed an algorithm called “eCommerce economics”. The algorithm determines your ideal return on investment from your Google Ads. You should never base your sales on the things that don’t come through all the way! By answering questions about your margins, returns and shipping costs, as well as the cost of any lost sales, the algorithm calculates your ideal ROI on each product. There’s a lot of parameters to understand here, but when you do – it’s possible to control your Google Ads down to your most profitable keywords or product.

Personalization and customization both allow you to create better user experiences, boost customer confidence throughout the journey, and improve customer satisfaction! Add third-party validation like Trustpilot reviews in the user journey, and your conversions will skyrocket.

How to customize your marketing for a better Google Ads strategy

Rich Snippets Stars are ratings and reviews for your company that show off your online reputation and overall quality of business to potential customers. These yellow stars help your website standout in Google's SERPs and increase your CTR.

Yes, good SEO takes effort – and websites who make the effort are likely to benefit in the long run – but there are some tools that can boost your site’s organic traffic in incredibly simple ways. 

Rich Snippets are a little-known SEO hack that can really boost results for your business in organic search. Best of all, what you need in order to qualify for them is really easy to implement, so if you’re a busy marketer looking for a quick and effective win – this one’s for you. 

## First up, what are Rich Snippets?

Simply put, Rich Snippets are those helpful star ratings you sometimes see under organic search results. 

According to [Google’s developer site](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review-snippet "Review Snippet - Google search central"), a Rich Snippet is a short excerpt of a review or rating from a trusted review website, most commonly displayed as an average of the aggregate rating scores from many reviewers. 

Basically, when Google finds [structured data](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data "Understand how structured data works") from your reviews or ratings on your website, they’re able to display your site content as a [rich result](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results "Rich results test") — which enhances your listings’ appearance in organic search, and tends to drive a lot more traffic. 

Here’s an example of Rich Snippets in action:


Review snippets are a certain type of rich result that improves organic SEO

IslandSurf.com rich snippets

Having their star rating and quantity of reviews visible right in search results helps [IslandSurf.com](https://www.islandersoutfitter.com/ "Islanders Outfitter") get potential customers to their site faster by removing the need to research their [brand reputation](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/build-trusted-brand/6-ways-to-make-trust-your-essential-brand-differentiator "The value of a trustworthy brand reputation"). 

Before shoppers even click on the link, they know upfront that the business has a solid rating and therefore can be trusted with their hard-earned money. This gives them a better idea of what kind of experience they’ll have with the company, and increases the odds that they’ll click on that result. 

In fact, studies show that having Rich Snippets visible on your search listings can drive [20-30% more organic traffic](https://www.perficient.com/insights/research-hub/featured-snippets-guide "Featured snippets resource center"), and generate [677% more revenue from organic traffic](https://searchengineland.com/seo-featured-snippets-leads-big-gains-236212 "SEO for featured snippets"). 

Now that the SEO value of these rich results is clear, the question becomes — 

## How do I get Rich Snippets on my product pages in organic search?

It’s most common to think of paid listings when you’re thinking about stars showing up in search results, but many people don’t realize that collecting product reviews can help you qualify for Rich Snippets in organic search. 

Once you’ve started collecting and displaying product reviews through a [product review widget](https://business.trustpilot.com/features/product-reviews "Product reviews") with valid structured data, it’s time to tell Google to re-crawl your product pages. 

Depending on how many products you sell on your site, it may make sense to have Google crawl your most popular products first. Here’s what you’ll need to do: 
- Log in to your Google Search Console and select your website.
- In the Inspect any URL in "your site's name" field, enter the URL of the page that contains the TrustBox.
- Once the URL data has been retrieved, click Request Indexing.
Repeat this process for all the URLs that contain the same TrustBox.


If you get a message that says "URL is not on Google", click the Test Live URL button to find out why Google can't crawl your page.

Once Google has indexed your pages, your review snippets should begin to appear in their search results. 

You can also use this [handy tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=en "URL Inspection Tool") to test your URLs and troubleshoot your results.

## Getting the most organic traffic out of your Rich Snippets 

Once you’ve qualified for Rich Snippets, [Google Search Console](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://searchengineland.com/google-search-console-adds-review-snippets-performance-enhancement-and-testing-reports-328925&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1615911866525000&usg=AOvVaw3KhAQ3et4CgnhHPCEkkpYX "Google Search Console") provides some really helpful tools to give you insight on how well those pages are performing, and help you debug any issues on pages where the reviews aren’t showing in the search results just yet. 

Google's Review Snippet Enhancement Report

The [Review Snippet Enhancement Report](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2020/02/review-snippets#:~:text=it%20to%20production.-,Review%20snippet%20Enhancement%20report,markup%20implemented%20on%20your%20site. "New reports for review snippets in Google Console") shows you errors, warnings, and valid pages for markup implemented on your site. It’s extremely helpful in not only identifying errors, but showing you how to fix them so you can enjoy the benefits of review snippets on all of your qualifying pages. 

You can also uncover more details about your Rich Snippet performance in Google Search Console’s [Performance Report](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7576553 "Performance report (Search Console Help) "). There, you can uncover how well your Rich Snippets are performing in search in terms of impressions, clicks, and CTR — and delve deeper into even more parameters and metrics. 

## Ready to earn Rich Snippets on your search listings?

6. Use a keyword tool like [Keyword Planner](https://ads.google.com/intl/en_uk/home/tools/keyword-planner/) to cut down the list based on the average number of searches per keyword.

Your final list of keywords can be used to optimise your site’s pages. You’ll use them to make your titles, copy, and images more relevant and most of all, more visible on search engines. You’ll learn how to optimise your pages with keywords in the next section...

### 2. Your product pages need to be optimised

Improving your eCommerce SEO means ranking for your products pages too! 

One of the best ways to do this if you have an eCommerce shop, is to optimise each and every product page. If you’re unsure where to start, we put together this list of ‘essentials’ in order for your product pages to be fully search engine optimised:

- __Don’t forget your images:__ One of the best and simplest ways to optimise your images is to add ‘alt’ tags (keywords that describe what is represented) to each photo. You can also name your images with keywords.

- __Use keywords in your titles:__ Use your product keywords in your product titles. If you’re trying to optimise your ‘suitcase’ product page, add this keyword to your page title. For example, Igloo Coolers uses keywords for the product, features, and design in their titles, which is likely to boost their SEO efforts:

optimise your product pages for seo 

- __Write quality content and include long-tail keywords in your copy:__ Long-tail keywords are phrases made of 3 or more keywords. When included in your copy, they can help drive a lot of traffic. One way to find popular long-tail keywords is to start typing your keyword into Google. Below, is an example of a long-tail keyword search for the keyword ‘coffee cups’:


find out what people search on google

Of course, if you followed step 1, you have a library of keywords you’d like to use.


- __Use relevant URLs:__ You might not think that a keyword-rich URL can make you jump to #1 on Google, but including keywords that are relevant to your eCommerce site or product can still help you considerably and is something that can easily be done.

### 3. Don’t underestimate the power of user experience

[Great user experience is important](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/learn-from-customers/5-reasons-why-customer-experience-is-the-pulse-of-every-business) to maintain customer satisfaction, but it’s also essential to good eCommerce SEO. Google is constantly trying to provide the best content out there to its users, and to ensure that your eCommerce site is optimised, you need to guarantee that it provides the best user experience.

We put this list together to help you create ever improving experiences for everyone, and improve your eCommerce SEO:

- __Remove all duplicate content:__ Duplicate content can severely affect your eCommerce SEO. [Siteliner](http://www.siteliner.com/) can help you identify your duplicate product pages and remove them.

- __Don’t forget the three-click rule:__ This is a web design rule suggesting that a user should be able to find any information they need within your website in no more than 3 clicks. This keeps your site simple and organised and helps Google read your website’s content better and understand its hierarchy. If it’s correctly done, this can improve your overall site’s ranking.

- __Improve your website speed:__ A slow load time will hurt you on Google, as loading speed has recently become a [search ranking factor](https://yoast.com/page-speed-ranking-factor/). The [GooglePageSpeed](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) tools can help you cut down your loading time, which will also improve your sales, as [47%](https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/news/) of users expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less.

- __Make sure your mobile site is functional:__ A fully responsive website design is  a must, especially in the eCommerce industry, where [67%](https://www.internetsearchinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/seo-tips-for-ecommerce-websites.jpg) of shoppers are more likely to make a purchase on a mobile-friendly website. And with[ Google moving more sites to mobile-first indexing](https://searchengineland.com/google-move-sites-mobile-first-index-within-next-several-weeks-292660), you better make sure yours is responsive if you want to retain customers whilst boosting your SEO rankings!

### 4. Interactive content is key

[Regularly updated content is really important](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/learn-from-customers/creating-relevant-content-throughout-the-customer-journey) in order for you to continue to rank well in Google’s listings. Optimising your eCommerce SEO with fresh content can be challenging, but by adding more interactive content to your site, you’re making sure that your content is regularly, and most of all automatically, updated. Here’s a list of interactive content recommendations that will ensure your website’s content stays updated and therefore SEO-optimised.

- __Customer reviews can help you:__ If you don’t have any reviews, you might want to consider a review collection and management strategy. Why? Because reviews will boost your SEO whilst creating fresh, relevant content, and building trust with consumers.

Example of on-site Trustpilot customer reviews

- __Social media shares are great:__ This helps produce constant interactions on your site. Social proof, like social media shares, is used by Google to indicate the value of your pages. 

- __Live chats help too:__ Having a live chat indicates that your eCommerce shop is ready to engage with consumers on a deeper level, which will help increase your customer interactions, and your sales too. Google can detect this, which will help boost your eCommerce SEO efforts. 

LookFantastic offers a live chat on all pages

### 5. Good links (really) matter

Good content is important, we can all agree on this. But today, backlinks are still [more valued](https://backlinko.com/search-engine-ranking) by Google.

Some of you might know how challenging it is to get good quality links. No matter what your eCommerce shop sells, you can write great content that people will want to link to. There is no ‘boring’ industry. However, that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy. 

It’s up to you to choose whether or not you will write about your products, or about other topics - related to your industry. The latter’s advantage is that you can probably write a lot more content, about a lot more different topics. A great brand using this technique is Red Bull:


Redbull content strategy

The brand chooses *not* to write about their energy drinks. Instead, they write about things that their audience could be interested in: adventures, travels, challenges, sports, and more.

This will help you gain backlinks and social links, and ‘tell’ Google that your content is valuable enough to spark interest, which will improve your site’s overall ranking.

If you’re already doing something similar, here’s another technique to boost your backlinks...

Looking at your competitors’ backlinks can help you make a difference. By knowing where your competitors get their inbound links from, you can put a list of sites to approach for natural backlinks to your own content. 

For example, if your eCommerce shop sells beauty products, why not find out what sites link to other online beauty stores? This should help you identify sites that are interested in your industry and the type of content you write, and therefore build your backlink strategy in order to improve your eCommerce SEO.

You can use [Monitor Backlinks](https://monitorbacklinks.com/), which is a free tool, or [Majestic](https://majestic.com/) if you wish to invest in a more in-depth SEO tool. 

We’d like to remind you that we *do not* recommend using any Black Hat SEO techniques (like buying backlinks) to boost your eCommerce SEO as these could seriously harm your rankings and website.

These 5 SEO best practices should help you improve your eCommerce site’s overall ranking on search engines. We hope you found this article insightful, and we’d love to know what else helped your business boost its SEO.

Learning from the google experts

Ever wondered how online reviews can help you become the star of Google SERPs for both organic and paid search marketing? This article holds the answers to all of your questions!

That's why we asked digital marketing experts from Home Logic, Evosite, and of course our internal experts at Trustpilot, to share their thoughts on the crucial role of online reviews in search marketing. 

Let's dive in. 

Google has such a massive impact on the digital marketing industry, yet many companies, particularly eCommerce companies, aren’t optimising their search strategies and incorporating Google in their business strategy.

Our established panel of experts have provided a wide range of advice that any company can incorporate to start seeing better results in their search visibility, traffic conversions, and paid search campaigns.

## Reviews will improve your search marketing performance

*__Ash Rama, Global Head of Training at Trustpilot__*

Collecting reviews is an easy way to create fresh content every day, improve your on *and* [off-page SEO](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/get-seen-in-search/why-does-google-care-if-your-business-has-online-reviews-in-2019), and build a reputation using your customers’ authentic voice. 

Choosing to collect Product reviews on a trusted third-party platform like Trustpilot can also lead to Product Reviews Review Snippets in organic search.

If your brand has an active presence and profile page on Trustpilot (which is in the top 1% of the most visited sites in the world, giving it an impressive domain authority), it's highly likely that your profile will be displayed at the top of search results, complete with shiny gold [Review Snippets](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/get-seen-in-search/google-rich-snippet-update-what-it-means-for-businesses).

Reviews can also optimise your PPC campaigns by powering [Google Seller Ratings](https://business.trustpilot.com/reviews/get-seen-in-search/why-wont-my-google-seller-ratings-show-up-and-4-other-gsr-questions) (GSRs).

Google Seller Ratings appear in paid ads, and are a powerful tool to boost your campaigns across Google and Bing. GSRs help boost your conversion rate and lower your bounce rate. 

Bonus: Your reviews can also appear in Google Shopping, which helps shorten the decision-making time for a consumer looking to make a purchase.

## Turning traffic into revenue with reviews

*__Charlie Clark, Digital Marketing Manager at Home Logic and owner of [Minty Digital](https://www.mintydigital.com/)__*

[Home Logic](https://www.homelogic.co.uk/) is a home solutions company whose mission is to bring innovative, eco-friendly and cost effective energy saving solutions to the homes of the UK.

Charlie was working hard to improve traffic, sales, and brand reputation for the organisation when he decided to invest in Trustpilot.

With over billions of websites on the internet, it’s crucial to implement the correct digital strategy to boost your online visibility. But ensuring you’re visible from a search perspective is only the first step towards a viable search strategy.

[92%](https://www.vendasta.com/blog/50-stats-you-need-to-know-about-online-reviews) of consumers now read online reviews, and more than [80%](https://www.vendasta.com/blog/50-stats-you-need-to-know-about-online-reviews) of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendation. With competition getting tougher than ever, it’s essential to give a professional, trustworthy and reliable image to potential buyers.

Social proof led Home Logic to better marketing. Customer feedback helped the business increase click-through rate by 20%, and their latest PPC competitor campaign saw a 90% conversion rate increase thanks to Google Seller Ratings!

Example of Home Logic Google Seller Ratings

GSRs significantly lowered Home Logic’s cost per conversion, and online reviews helped the company’s website reach Google’s first page.

Their overall organic traffic also saw a 412% uplift YoY, helping Home Logic reach over £250,000 of revenue in Q1, compared to £300,000 in the whole of 2016.

## Being successful in the world of digital

*__Aran Reeks, Head of Client Strategy & Tom Sangers, Head of Search at Evosite__*

[Evosite](https://www.evosite.co.uk/) is a digital agency specialised in eCommerce, conversion rate optimisation, business systems integration, web design, and development. Aran Reeks and Tom Sangers traveled to London from Taunton to share unique insights to help you succeed in the world of digital.

This year, the UK will become the first country in the world where half of all advertising spend goes on digital media. It’s clear that the digital realm takes first priority for companies and spend is likely to increase as the years pass by.

Search is now worth £3.77 billion, and in this new digital era, it’s getting harder and harder for companies to set their objectives and optimise their websites to achieve them.

To drive more conversions with optimised paid search campaigns, you’ll need to understand your customers and their needs in order to create relevant campaigns. This starts with analysing your data, understanding your audience’s behaviour, and finding new insights.

This data will help you personalise your ads (by location, demographics, age, gender, income or interests) to stand out from competitors.

The Evosite digital experts also recommend sticking to PPC’s best practices like mobile bid adjustment, ad extensions, test ads running, location targeting, negative keywords, and review extensions.

But optimising paid search isn’t enough to grow revenue. To transform new traffic into sales, you also need to make sure your user experience is close to perfection.

It’s getting tougher to keep the user’s attention, which is why your website should be entirely optimised. Keep visitors focused long enough to convert them.

Reduce uncertainty, uncover areas of weakness on your website, and improve customer experience to stay ahead of competition and grow revenue.

By keeping your customers happy and satisfied, you’re more likely to see them return, spend more and recommend your business to others.

*So where does optimisation start?*

Evosite advise reviewing all of your account's history, including all keywords, adverts, impressions, and clicks to identify where you can make improvements to your ROI.

And as digital continues to take over, consumers are proactively looking for reviews. Third-party validation has become essential, which is why collecting reviews is a good way to appease consumers who have taken up a new way of making a purchase decision, while also improving your search and paid search performance.

google seller ratings questions trustpilot 2020

Ever wonder how to earn Google Seller Ratings and make sure they show up to boost your CTR in paid search results? This article answers all of your questions about GSRs and more.  

If you’ve ever typed into Google’s search bar, you’ve seen Google Seller Ratings in action. In essence, it’s a star rating that displays underneath the URL on your Google Ads. While most often associated with eCommerce companies, any company with a digital presence can take advantage of Google Seller Ratings. Take a look at the example below, on how a mortgage broker can have GSRs display on their search ads.

example-of-google-seller-rating

Google has said that the seller ratings extension benefits both searchers and businesses, as it increases click-through rate by [10%](https://adwords.googleblog.com/2011/04/5-simple-ways-to-improve-your-adwords.html) on average which can lead to a higher quality score.

GSRs just made your job a bit easier!

So, how do you get GSRs to display in your search ads? That’s just one of the major questions we’ll be tackling here.

### Google Seller Ratings – August 2020 Update

In August 2020, Google [made some changes to the Google Seller Ratings requirements](https://developers.google.com/merchant-review-feeds/publisherguideline). Here's what businesses should know and follow before trying to earn Google Seller Ratings:

- __Businesses are not allowed to offer their customers financial incentives__ to write reviews of any kind. This includes anything from free samples, gift cards, discounts on future purchases, to anything of monetary value.
- __Each business eligible for seller ratings must have a page that is public__, visible, and discoverable via search engines with all reviews shown. For example, the business pages should be included in the sitemap shared with search engines.
- __Customers must have completed their review within 90 days__ of receiving an invitation from the retailer.
- __Your listing must only display reviews collected through your current review platform__, and only these are eligible for submission to the Google feed. If you imported reviews before the 1st of July 2020, this change will not affect you.
- __Businesses are not able to remove or moderate their reviews (from current or previous provider)__. However, reviews from the current provider may be flagged and will be removed if the content contains hateful, violent, or inappropriate content, advertising or spam, is off-topic, or contains conflicts of interest.

### Question #1: How can I get Google Seller Ratings?

[As of November 2018](https://uk.business.trustpilot.com/reviews/get-seen-in-search/google-new-seller-ratings-threshold-100), Google is now displaying Seller Ratings on a per-country basis to better reflect your customers’ experience in a specific country. Google has also lowered the Seller Ratings threshold of reviews required to 100 per country, instead of 150 global reviews. The reviews from users in a particular country will only contribute to the company’s rating in that country.

To collect Seller Ratings, you will need to maintain a high standard of service, so that __your average review score is above 3.5/5__. 

Next, you’ll need to be collecting enough reviews. You will need to have __at least 100 reviews in the last 12 months in a given country__, for your business to be eligible for GSR in that country. This means that you need to send invitations to your customers to invite them to review your services. 



### Question #2: Why aren’t my Google Seller Ratings showing?

There are a couple of reasons why your Google Ratings aren’t showing up. Because Seller Ratings is an automated ad extension, you can’t set them up or have any control over whether or not they show.

To make sure you’ve ticked all the boxes that factor into GSRs, here’s a handy list to keep in mind.

* Do you have more than 100 unique reviews per country from a review platform?
* Have they all been written in the past 12 months?
* Do you have an average score of 3.5 stars out of 5, or above?


__Tip: Still not showing?__

Note - a recent Google update recently opened up GSRs globally. Previously, GSRs was limited to specific domains but this is no longer the case!

We can also help you [check](https://www.google.com/shopping/seller?q=[domain.com) if Google has added the reviews to their Merchant review page.

Now that you know why your Seller Ratings aren’t showing, the next step is to learn why your Google stars might not show up every time you search for them.

### Question #3 Why do Google Seller Ratings show up only sometimes on the same search terms, and how often can I expect it to show?

Sometimes Google Seller Ratings don’t show with your ads. And sometimes they do. Don’t panic, that doesn’t necessarily mean that something is wrong.

You’ve already made sure that your ads were optimised by ticking all the boxes on the above list, so let’s go through what could be happening…

* Google is determining the best time to show the extension based on the intent of the query.
* The search engine will also take into consideration the recency of the search, as well as the cached results
* If someone searches the same keyword over and over again to check their extensions, both paid and organic results will be affected, and the extension will not always appear as Google shows them only a certain number of times.


__Tip:__ Check whether or not your extension is showing from a different device or a different IP address. If it shows, you know you have Google Seller Ratings, and Google is determining whether or not to show them.

### Question #4 How do I make my Google Seller Ratings show more often?

Seller Ratings don’t always appear regularly, but you can take steps to make them more likely to appear with your Search Network ads.

Google has provided [additional tips](https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/7233787) to increase your chances of having GSRs show up in your ads. A fairly obvious tip is to be a great business so your reviews are not only high but also so customers will be encouraged to leave reviews about the great experience they had at any point in their buying journey.

But they also encourage to keep your business name and URL consistent across the websites where your reviews live. Google aggregate reviews from multiple sources to power GSRs so be sure that your URL and name is consistent across review sites and that Google isn’t accidentally aggregating the wrong reviews or ignoring your reviews.

### Question #5 How do I track my GSR performance?

You can track your traffic attributed to GSR by going into your Google Ads account and checking your Automated Extension Report.

This report tracks all data that comes from any Google Ads extension you might have. Based on the results, you can see how often the Seller Ratings show as well as the ad groups they correspond to.

example-of-gsr-report

You’ll find more great examples of GSR reports [here](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/use-google-seller-ratings-beat-competition/127795/).

Tracking your results will allow you understand the performance of your ads with and without extension, and compare click-through rate and cost.

Now that Google isn’t a mystery anymore, set up your Seller Rating Extension today and leverage your user-generated content to grow your business’s visibility and trust on search engines.
