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

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".

Adwords View Through Question
Hi Mozzers! I've got an Adwords Remarketing account performing well in terms of View Through Conversions but not regular 'old Conversions. We are getting about 10x more View Throughs than regular Conversions. Is this close to typical or in the expected range? Any suggestions about how to trade these around, working towards getting more regular conversions and less view through conversions?

Question regarding Google Adwords?
Just had a question regarding Google Adwords. I have an e-commerce store (kiwimodfurniture.com) in the furniture niche and I originally was planning to create a different ad group for each product. Since I have 1300 products I would have 1300 ad groups. However a lot of the products don't have enough search volume and Google won't display my ads. Then I decided to get a bit more broad. I plan on having an ad group for each sub category on my website. For example, modern lounge chairs, modern arm chairs, modern sofas, etc. Question: Is this too broad? Will the ROI be terrible because of this? Thanks!

AdWords Negative Keywords
Hello community! I got a bit stuck with negative keywords management today! I have updated the negative keyword list and as it can be shared among all my active campaign I put it into the shared library. But when I downloaded the recent changes on Editor I can't get to see the new negatives and I can't check their match types. Do I have to upload the list on Editor for each campaign? Thanks

Adwords: Brand ads appear bottom of SERPs
Hello, I'm running a sale promotion on a brand only Adwords campaign (I have the only account with trademark authorization) and have noticed that my ads are appearing at the bottom of the first page on Google. This happened last week so I split the campaign into three Adgroups and that fixed the problem but today I'm running brand only and there is no way to separate them. CPC has also increased dramatically. Normally it's less than 10 cents and now it's sitting at between $2-$4. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas/advice on how to stop this happening? It's playing havoc with my CTR and conversions. Much thanks,

Adwords Bulk Discount
Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?
