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!

Adwords landing pages with no site links
Adwords best practices say to focus landing pages on conversions, with no navigational links to the rest of your website so they don't get distracted. However, now that Google Ads in the SERPs look so similar to organic results, visitors may click the ads instead of the organic result because that's what they see first. What is the risk of turning off these visitors who come to a landing page with a form, instead of a way to navigate through the rest of your site? Discussion question: Trade-offs between a form-focused landing page and providing navigation to the rest of the site?

Any Reports on Conversion Rate Drops in 2014?
I'm looking for some reports about conversion rate changes over the past year as well as any trends you may have noticed about ecommerce conversion rates because we are seeing something quite odd. We are seeing a large drop in overall conversion rates on some sites I manage this year despite seeing significant revenue growth. When I looked through the stats I found something interesting. Our conversion rates have actually increased on each of the three device types (desktop, tablet and mobile) but because there is a huge surge in visits from mobile devices (the device with the lowest conversion rates) and a large decline in vistis from our top convertor (desktop) our overall conversion rates are down. This is especially troubling to me because my bonus was based on increasing conversion rates and I could use some help from you to see if others in the industry are facing this issue or not. Thanks

Improving data tables for Usability & SEO
I have some large html data tables that look horrible (see bottom of http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/auto_dealer_bond.htm). To my surprise, heat map tests actually proved them to be useful in improving our conversion rates to get visitors to apply for the bond they need. We are looking at ways to better the user experience while still keeping the data visible to search spiders. One idea was to use a dropdown list to filter by states. With new web technologies, there must be a better way to utilize this data. What are some alternatives?

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?

Can Adwords campaigns affect other campaigns performance?
I understand that keywords and adgroups within a campaign can affect the performance of other keywords within that parent campaign. I was interested to understand whether campaigns in my account can affect one another. I have an adwords account with around 30 campaigns. Some are heavy hitters and others get minimal to 0 traffic. Will these low quality campaigns drive up the costs of my high end campaigns?
