To get Google reviews on search results, you need to:
- Claim and verify your Google Business Profile. This is a free listing that allows you to manage your business information on Google Search and Maps.
- Encourage customers to leave reviews. You can do this by adding a link to your Google Business Profile to your website, email signature, and social media pages. You can also ask customers for reviews in person or over the phone.
- Respond to all reviews, both positive and negative. This shows that you value customer feedback and are committed to providing a good experience.

Google displays reviews in search results through Google My Business (GMB) listings. If you have a business, you can create and manage your Google My Business profile to showcase your reviews and ratings in search results. Here's how you can do it:
Create or Claim your Google My Business Listing: If you haven't already, go to the Google My Business website (https://www.google.com/business/) and create a listing for your business. If your business already exists on Google Maps, you'll need to claim and verify ownership.
Optimize your Google My Business Profile: Fill in all the necessary details, such as business name, address, phone number, website, business hours, and category. Add high-quality images of your business, products, or services. Make sure your profile is complete and accurate.
Encourage Customers to Leave Reviews: Provide excellent products or services and encourage your satisfied customers to leave reviews on your Google My Business listing. The more positive reviews you have, the better your chances of standing out in search results.
Respond to Reviews: Engage with your customers by responding to their reviews, both positive and negative. This shows that you value their feedback and are actively involved in managing your business.
Keep Information Up-to-date: Regularly update your business information, especially if you have changes in operating hours, location, or contact details.
Improve Local SEO: Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help improve your business's visibility in local search results. Use relevant keywords in your business description and posts.
Get Citations and Backlinks: Encourage other websites to mention your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) accurately and consistently. These citations and backlinks can help improve your local search presence.
Please note that Google's search algorithms and features may change over time, so it's essential to stay updated with the latest guidelines and recommendations from Google regarding Google My Business and reviews in search results. To ensure you have the most current information, visit the official Google My Business website and the Google Support Center.

To get Google reviews to appear in search results, you need to follow a few key steps. Google reviews can have a significant impact on your online reputation and visibility, so it's important to optimize your presence. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Google My Business (GMB) listing: Start by creating a GMB listing for your business. Provide accurate and detailed information about your business, such as the address, phone number, website, and hours of operation. Verify your listing to gain access to additional features.
Encourage customers to leave reviews: Actively encourage your customers to leave reviews on your Google My Business profile. You can do this by asking them in person, including a call-to-action on receipts, or sending follow-up emails after a purchase. Make it easy for them to leave reviews by providing a direct link to your GMB profile.
Provide excellent customer service: Deliver exceptional customer service to increase the likelihood of positive reviews. Satisfied customers are more likely to leave positive feedback, which can enhance your reputation and attract potential customers.
Monitor and respond to reviews: Regularly monitor the reviews on your Google My Business profile. Respond promptly and professionally to both positive and negative reviews. Engaging with reviewers shows that you value their feedback and demonstrates your commitment to customer satisfaction.
We have done the same procedure on our website Prism Digital and with client's websites and these steps played a key role.

@remcoz Sure, Remco! The stars you see in organic search results are known as Rich Snippets. They are generated by Google from structured data or Schema markup that is added to your website's code. This markup provides additional details about the data on your website, including customer reviews and ratings.
To get these star ratings to appear in organic search results, you need to implement the correct Schema markup on your website. This typically involves adding specific HTML tags to your website's code to provide more information about your content to search engines.
Once you've added the appropriate Schema markup, Google bots will crawl your website and if they find the structured data relevant and of good quality, they may choose to display your star ratings in the search results. It's important to note that it's ultimately up to Google whether they show these ratings or not.
Given the technical nature of adding Schema markup, it might be beneficial to work with a web developer or an SEO specialist who is experienced in this area. They can help ensure that the markup is implemented correctly, which can increase your chances of getting those star ratings displayed in organic search results.
Remember, consistency and high-quality service that lead to positive reviews are just as crucial in this process. Keep up the great work and continue to provide an excellent experience for your customers. Good luck!

Filter By Category bad for seo?
Hello Everyone! I know that a single product should not have filter by color option since it will create duplicate content, and you have to use canonical tags to solve it. BUT how about sorting through products via category/brands?
On-Page Optimization | | Safxmed
Filter by category changes the URL of the General shop page (ex: hello.com/Shop/Category1022039 ). This page only displays the products within, no content/ descriptions etc unlike the original category page (ORIGINAL CATEGORY PAGE) Each of these category/brand already have their own individual pages (ex: hello.com/Shop/A). This is the page that will be optimized for content, FAQ, and ranking etc. Unlike in the url created when filtering through the categories. So technically I would have 2 URL for each Brand/Category. Would they compete with each other? What would you guys suggest. Please advise me on this. Thank You0 -
Static content pages ranking dropping all the time
Hello all. I have been working three months in my current job in the hotel industry. I have been publishing a lot of content to our website (mainly articles), which in general have been ranking well and really boosted our website traffic. The problem that I am facing, though, is the fact that our static pages' rankings are basically constantly dropping. Especially one of our main pages, which is this hotel page. I haven't been doing any real changes to the content, but the ranking (with keywords "hotelli helsinki" [Hotel in Helsinki in Finnish]) has plummeted from 13th position all the way down to 19th... What has been happening during these last three months is that we did change to a new domain and we have done all the redirections and also informed Google about this change through search console. I have also done some minor changes to the on-page content, such as changing the meta titles and descriptions as well as the page title and some of the text content to more natural ones instead of clumsy SEO texts and optimizing the images. This hasn't helped at all though and the rankings seem to steadily drop all the time. What would YOU do with this page? Maybe add more text content to the page to be more informative? All tips would be highly appreciated.

Search box within search results question
I work for a Theater news website. We have two sister sites, theatermania.com in the US and whatsonstage.com in London. Both sites have largely the same codebase and page layouts. We've implemented markup that allows google to show a search box for our site in its results page. For some reason, the search box is showing for one site but not the other: http://screencast.com/t/CSA62NT8 We're scratching our heads. Does anyone have any ideas?

All keywords' ranking are looking like this All tools showing good analysis: MOZ, Barracuda, MajesticSeo Content is good and not duplicated, etc. Do one of you is aware of significant Google update?

Is Google applying some customized search results, even when Private Browsing?
I am including a screenshot of a very interesting search result I received while InPrivate Browsing in Google using IE9. I was spot-checking some keywords while private browsing and the first one I searched was "presonus studiolive." Then, I searched a completely unrelated term "communion supplies." I am attaching a screenshot of the search results page I then received from Google. Interesting, no? I can't even begin to wrap my head around the implications of a search results page that mixes results from two completel unrelated terms. Thoughts? 7QNxPHM.jpg

Previously ranking #1 in google, web page has 301 / url rewrite, indexed but now showing for keyword search?
Two web pages on my website, previously ranked well in google, consistent top 3 places for 6months+, but when the site was modified, these two pages previously ending .php had the page names changed to the keyword to further improve (or so I thought). Since then the page doesn't rank at all for that search term in google. I used google webmaster tools to remove the previous page from Cache and search results, re submitted a sitemap, and where possible fixed links to the new page from other sites. On previous advice to fix I purchased links, web directories, social and articles etc to the new page but so far nothing... Its been almost 5 months and its very frustrating as these two pages previously ranked well and as a landing page ended in conversions. This problem is only appearing in google. The pages still rank well in Bing and Yahoo. Google has got the page indexed if I do a search by the url, but the page never shows under any search term it should, despite being heavily optimised for certain terms. I've spoke to my developers and they are stumped also, they've now added this text to the effected page(s) to see if this helps. Header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

Getting a site to rank in both google.com and google.co.uk
I have a client who runs a yacht delivery company. He gets business from the US and the UK but due to the nature of his business, he isn't really based anywhere except in the middle of the ocean somewhere! His site is hosted in the US, and it's a .com. I haven't set any geographical targeting in webmaster tools either. We're starting to get some rankings in google US, but very little in google UK. It's a small site anyway, and he'd prefer not to have too much content on the site saying he's UK based as he's not really based anywhere. Any ideas on how best to approach this?
