Schema - Could a company like mine benefit from this yet?

[CliffAuerswald]

Hey there - I've been reading about rich snippets and was thinking of hiring a programmer to implement this. In my industry I would be the only one thus far on front page with a highly competitive keywords and would be displaying 5 stars based on our testimonials etc, would that be acceptable? These testimonials are not on my homepage so if I implemented would it be a misuse of these tags?

My site is mortgage / financial company and I don’t see much in available tags yet except for “location” and “reviews” I could implement. I'm just trying to figure this out and I greatly appreciate any feedback!

It should be OK if you have a single product on your homepage. You just need to follow these guidelines:

The following guidelines apply to review snippets:

• When using review markup, the main topic of the page needs to be about a specific product or service. For example, using review markup on a page containing multiple products is not supported.
• Review of adult-related products or services are not supported.
• If the markup contains a single review, the reviewer’s name needs to be a valid name (Person or Organization). For example, “50% off until Saturday” is not a valid name for a reviewer.

I'm not confident Google will display the stars, but I think for the cost it is well worth having a go.

If you can get review stars, GO FOR IT!
