Not able to see star ratings Rich Snippet in Google SERP with use of keyword search
-
Hello,
I am webmaster of http://www.bannerbuzz.com and i have applied google rich snippet http://schema.org/aggregateRating for review star ratings in google SERP.
I have checked my link in rich snippet tool, i have attached screenshot, you can see it in screenshot no 1
So according to this result i have implemented code properly.
When i have checked site:www.bannerbuzz.com in google, then i can see star rating in some of my website's categories, but when i check some of those keywords in google SERP, then i can not see star rating in those keywords.i have attached screenshot below.
with search terms : site:www.bannerbuzz.com
you can see it in screenshot no 2
with search terms : vinyl banners
you can see it in screenshot no 3
So anyone check the same things and let us know the solution if it possible to see star ratings in specific keywords.
Thanks

Despite having them implemented correctly I am not 100% sure that there is a way to absolutely guarantee they will show up, I think it is purely at the discretion of Google to determine if they are genuinely useful and add value. They do not always show up for my site when using broader searches either.

Hello Tim Holmes
This is really very informative answer from your side, thanks a lot for it.
You are absolutely right and as per google guidelines for eligible for reviews and ratings rich snippets, we have followed everything in our snippet,
We have much reviews in our every category pages with same products, user can easily see reviews in any of our categories, as per guideline we have implemented proper rich snippet code, still our reviews star ratings are not visible in organic search, if something wrong from our site then we can not able to see that star rating, but that we can see, so can you please let me know about the solution about star rating display in google SERP.
Thanks

Although you may have your review snippets implemented correctly it is unfortunately down to Google with regards to if they feel it meets there guidelines and shows your star ratings in the organic listings.
Just because you have them implemented does not necessarily mean they will use them.
Double check these guides are met. Source Linked at end of comment.
From article on Google
To be eligible for reviews and ratings rich snippets, be aware of the following extra guidelines:
-
Make sure the review or ratings markup refers clearly to a specific product or service as shown in the examples above. Do this by nesting the review or ratings within the markup of another schema.org type — such as schema.org/Book or schema.org/LocalBusiness — or by using that schema.org typed element as a value for the
itemReviewed
property. -
Make sure the reviews and ratings you mark up are readily available to users from the marked-up page. It should be immediately obvious to users that the page has review or ratings content.
-
Review and rating markup should be used to provide review and/or rating information about a specific item, not about a category or a list of items. For example, “hotels in Madrid”, “summer dresses”, or “cake recipes” are not specific items. See also our structured data policies for multiple entities on the same page.
-
We will not show review rich snippets for adult-related products or services.
-
If the markup contains a single review, the author's name needs to be a valid name. For example, "50% off until Saturday" is not a valid name for a reviewer.

Issue for ranking Keywords.
Hello Team, First of all, this is the best tool for SEO experts, it tells all the criteria like ctr, priority, and also difficulty, for keyword research I will give you 10/10, but my issue is this. When I put my site URL https://topbestwatersoftener.com/ to Moz, then this shows me no ranking keyword, but I have 2 my keywords in the top 100. The other tools like Ubbersuggest show me these two. Kindly tell me why? its about crawling speed?

Star rating not showing up in local pack, and knowledge panel pulling in healthgrades
Hello, I have a client that when you Google just their business name a couple of odd things are happening. First off, they show up in the map pack, but it's now showing their review rating. They have 29 reviews, with an average star rating of 4.6, but at first glance, it doesn't look like they have any reviews:

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.

What types of businesses does Google display reviews in SERP for?
In just the last week, it seems like Google has removed reviews for businesses in our industry (staffing), which is unfortunate since we've been working hard for those reviews. The effect has been to be completely left off the local google business results. One week, we're at the top of the business reviews with our location prominently featured on the map and the next, we aren't even listed. It seems like there must be list of industries in which Google takes reviews into account (or if they do, then at least displays the reviews in the results). For us, up until last week, if you searched "temp agencies", these reviews were included in SERP. Now, nothing. Is this fairly normal behavior for Google?

Reusing reviews from other sites for branded rich snippet taken from brands testimonial page
Hi my customer has had a new website built for their custom home building company which has a testimonials page http://www.precisionhomes.com.au/testimonials.html This testimonials page has duplicate review content taken from another dedicated review site http://www.productreview.com.au/p/precision-homes.html My question is this, if I add review microdata to http://www.precisionhomes.com.au/testimonials.html will google recognize this in Rich snippets and the Brands Knowledge Graph or will it just consider it duplicate content?

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?
