Rich snippets stars gone
-
i had some rich snippets stars for reviews showing on one of my clinets sites, but today they have gone, has anyone had this happen, if so what did you do to get them back?
-
bob just to let you know, i re-did the reviews using actual reviews on page, just 2 of them and i have the starts back.
-
did you try to get them back? any sucess?
-
That's me
And yes, I think a competitor ratted me out to Google while I was experimenting with the review stars -
Just noticed your domain anseocompany.com.au
I have seen it when checking my rankings, i also remeber you had stars before, are you talking from expirerence?
I used to trade under perthseocompany.com.au but i have merged my websites under thatsit.com.au

Yes i just had a look as i removed some html from that page, thought i may of taken some of the wrong cope out, but no.
But i did find that i was messing around and added a empty organization snippet see below and forgot to remove it, it was just above the review, maybe it upset things
http://schema.org/Organization">
but then the stars still apeared in rich snippet tool, so I doubt this had an affect, but i have removed it and i will see.
I am from parkerville up in the hills, i have been suprised to see so many Aussies on the forum.
-
Hmm, not sure in that case. Any recent updates to the code perhaps?
And yes, I'm from Perth too

These were reviews from BBC, NYT, CNN and NPR
This was done using
http://data-vocabulary.org/Review">
NYT, BBC, NPR and CNNnot a count of reviews, i will give it a few days to see if they come back.
I am a perth seo, and the ones on my site are fine.(at the moment)
Are you also from Perth Bob
-
these were just rich snippets for orgqanic serps
-
We're they real reviews or manufactured ones? I've seen a lot of Perth SEO sites had em, and Google took them away because they were misleading.

Has the star rating dropped?
I know Google Adwords has a trigger at round 4 stars+, if the star rating drops below this the stars turn off.
So this might/might not be the problem.

Is being in position 1-3 without a featured snippet better for conversions?
I'm a cosmetic dental practice so we're local and want people to visit our website, look around and make a booking. I've followed very closely the featured snippet debate on WBF and in the blogs here and everywhere else on the web. I've got many 1-3 positions and have been optimising for featured snippets with great success. I have noticed though that once I get a featured snippet the CTR of the page that the snippet is taken from drops significantly. This can often put me from position one into two or three. The same thing happens sometimes on the local listings. You get in the pack and people start visiting your homepage rather than the particular services page in the SERP. At a conference I was at, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iXlVcbpvd0 (11:14) there is a suggestion that Vodafone de-optimise because a position one or two is better for their sales than a featured snippet. After all my interests are not the same as google. They want to answer questions and I want to sell cosmetic dentistry. So is answering a question without bringing a user to my site a good idea? I've certainly seen the amount of enquiries drop once the category has a number of featured snippets. Are they as good as everyone says they are? I think possibly not from my data and this Vodafone talk is the first time i've heard anyone agree. I've scoured the web for answers and it's all just "GET FEATURED SNIPPETS", "HERES HOW TO GET THEM" etc. But my business is not about getting more traffic it's about selling. Could someone please point me to research on conversion rate and featured snippets. or ROI and featured snippets? Thanks.

I've already seen this in the search result of "bitstamp". I've added a screenshot so as you can see what I'm saying. Also i'd like you to recommend me some rich snippet preview that supports extract data from an API. This is my first Q&A, hope you can understand me 🙂 Bye 60abdb6537.JPG0 -

Rich Snippets on service pages and how to aggregate?
Question about rich snippets.. I want to showcase reviews of the SERVICE's offered but I am not sure if I should include them on the service page, a review page or both. For example, we offer snow plowing and lawn care services and each service has its own page. I have reviews for both services under the my "testimonials" page. So, a couple questions. 1 - Should I pace a single review marked up on each service page? 2 - Does the review need to be a google review or can I use reviews from other sites? If not, do I need to notate that somehow using the schema vocabulary? Example, I have a 5 star review from thumbtrackDOTcom, is it ok to mark up the review and include a nofollow link? (No follow because thumbtrack is actually a competitor.) 3 - When I looked into creating an aggregate rich snippet I got confused / concerned. Is it ok to list multiple services as a product? Example: <div< span="">itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product"> <span< span="">itemprop="name">Lawn Care and Snow Removal</span<> <div< span="">itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscopeitemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">

Rated <span< span=""> itemprop="ratingValue">4.5</span<>/5
based on <span< span=""> itemprop="reviewCount">4</span<> customer reviews</div></div<></div<> 4 - When I tested the code above, no stars showed up in the preview. Do I need to mark up products as well? Am I doing it completely wrong 🙂 Thanks for any advice!!0 -

Will adding to a video's length affect my Rich Snippets?
Most people get to the end of my videos, 85% or so, but there's no call to action at the end of them. So I'd like to suggest what they could do or read next; along the lines of 'Add to basket and receive your XYZ tomorrow'. This will make the video longer and therefore google will know it has changed, I guess. I see no reason for them to object to this but you never you.

Why does Google only show the review stars for some listings in the Places results
I have a client who shows up in the Places results for his targeted keyword phrase, but one of his competitors' listing shows 5 gold stars next to the reviews which causes him to stand out visually. I was under the impression that at one time the stars only showed for listings that had official Google reviews, but the other listings in the results also have "Google Reviews" but no stars.
