Adwords "seller reviews" not showing
-
We have been building up our reviews (with trustpilot) over the last few months, which has been picked up by google's reviews, and on the 2 July we passed the 30 reviews mark, (takes about a week or two before it shows the reviews on google reviews).
So we have had + 30 reviews for over 6 weeks now, our score is 4.8/5 but are "Seller Reviews" is still not showing on our adwords.
Is there any other reason our seller reviews would not be showing yet?

Thanks for coming back and letting us know what happened. Glad it finally got fixed for you!

So another month passes and it is eventually fixed. Our account merchant account was suspended for about a month due to an issue with the feed (about 8 months ago), but that was fixed and the account was unsuspended 7 months ago. Google support said that this was causing the seller reviews not to show (even though the guide lines say you don't need a merchant account to have seller reviews).
My advice to anyone that finds themselves with the same problem is to contact google asap and keep chasing them until its fixed

Got a response from google adwords help team (first contacted them 2 weeks ago):
"I have heard back from the technical team and there seems to be an issue in your merchant center account. I am checking with the team about the next steps and will get back to you as soon as I receive the same."
I'm surprised the issue is with merchant centre because in the guide lines : http://goo.gl/ZaAN7N
"You don't need to have a Google Merchant Center account for your ads to be eligible for seller ratings."That was over a week ago, so I chased them up:
"I have reached out to my technical team and we are trying to figure out why the seller ratings are not showing.We have established that the settings are perfect from the AdWords front end, and it meets the criteria also."
So guess I have to wait until google fix it

I asked them before, but they basicly just copy and pasted from the FAQ, saying its up to google.

hi,
I would have to agree with you 100% I have not seen 1 through 5 star reviews show up without rich snippets personally either.
Have you spoken to trust pilot?
Sincerely,
Thomas

Thanks for the reply, but looking into that, its over a year old, and that issue seems to be resolved (the trustpilot reviews are being show on the page the original poster is linked to)
Also the Trustpilot FAQ says that its review should show in adwords (but it takes 2-4 weeks), but it can not guarantee that it will show.
Trustpilot basicly advertise the fact its reviews are included in google adwords:
The reviews your customers publish on Trustpilot may appear in 3 places:
- Google’s normal organic search results
- Google Shopping Merchant Reviews
- Google AdWords Merchant Reviews
Note: "Google’s normal organic search results" , I have never seen this before with any 3rd party review site, review scores in organic search always come from rich snippets (that I have ever seen)

hi,
apparently Google is aware of the issue and is trying to work it out.
Here's some information
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/merchant-center/iXuk8WXBqX4
https://support.trustpilot.com/entries/23015547-Google-and-Trustpilot-FAQ
this last link is older however it talks about a very similar issue with stellar ratings and licensing problems keeping them from showing up on Add words.
Sincerely,
Thomas

304 "If Modified Header" Triggers Error in Google Ads?
We have a client who is launch some Google Ads campaigns, and they recently asked us to fix 304 "Errors" on their website as per this feedback: "When we inspected the website we came across a number of 304 status errors. In order to get the ads running, we will need all of the website domain status codes converted to 200. “ Of course, all of their website pages return a 200 Status, it's just the HTTP headers that additionally clarify with a 304 Response (not an error). Has anyone else ever run into this issue with Google Ads? IMHO it makes no sense to remove this functionality. Google has even recommended in the past to use this it: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2008/11/date-with-googlebot-part-ii-http-status.html Thanks for any tips or feedback!

Is there way to have several AdWords Ad for the same keyphrase?
Hi guys. Can I have 2-3-4 ads come up for the same keyphrase? The situation is: I'm bidding for client's company name, there is no other competition (nobody else bids for client's company name), I'm bidding only for exact match and phrase match. Is there way to have, let's say 4 ads come up when somebody searches for exact matched company name? P.S. I know it's weird question, all this is done under reputation management for this company, I'm trying to occupy as much space at the top of the 1st SERPs, so people don't see ROR article in organic position #4. If you have other suggestions - please feel free to put it here. (SEO is being done, not-index pages are being optimized to try to come up as several organic results, backlink building is in process, Social media profiles are being optimized as well). I'm just trying to have some temporary "fix".

Proportion of traffic from adwords vs organic search
Hi People, I wanted to know if anyone knows what typical click through rates of paid vs organic search results are. We seem to be experiencing a very low click through rate with our organic search results versus our adwords and it seems to be getting worse. For example our website www.natureshop.co.uk ranks 4th for the search phrase "icebreaker" in google.co.uk (and we are the first online retailer). We are the first adwords listing as well. For the past 3 months we have had 867 clicks through our organic listing and yet with adwords we had 14,000 clicks. This seems pretty strange to me. Both have conversion rates of around 5%. Do you think these sorts of stats are becoming the norm for brand based searches? (icebreaker is a merino wool clothing brand). Adwords also says that there were around 125,000 impressions of this phrase in the search network for this period. Which means with a ranking of 4th our click through rate is less than 1%? If anyone else can share their experience or provide some commentary on this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Conrad Cranfield

Linking Adwords to Analytics for Multiple Clients
what is the best practice for this? Right now everything is under many different passwords and logins, yet conforming them all to one comes with a bunch of loopholes and bumps along the way. Does anyone know how to get a few clients under the same username and password (linking the AdWords and Analytics for each of them)?
