Reviews not shown on google search & seller rating extensions (adwords)
-
Hello,
we have 2 questions, regarding reviews from rating websites.
1. Reviews on google Search
We have several reviews for our website www.theprintspace.co.uk from various rating sites (e.g. qype, yelp, remotegoat, etc.). When searching for theprintspace on google, only some reviews and only some rating website are shown, most are not.
For qype, for instance, we have 8 reviews, but google only indicates that we have 3. The yelp reviews (and many others) are not shown at all. According to google, it takes a maximum of 2 months for the correct number of reviews to be shown on google, but the reviews have been online for over 2 months now.
Is there any way this problem can be solved, so google shows the correct number of reviews?
2. Seller rating extensions on google adwords
We would like the reviews to be displayed in our google adwords as a seller rating extension. These will include the merchant star rating for advertisers that are highly rated on Google Product Search. We are setting up a google merchant account to do so.
Google says:
"Ratings are based on the user reviews collected by Google Product Search, which aggregates reviews from a broad base of sources across the web, including Reseller Ratings, Bizrate, ReviewCentre.com and Viewpoints."
Do you know if the following rating website are in google's "base of sources" and will thus be recognised and used in google adwords as rating extensions?
Yelp
Qype
Scoot
Remotegoat
viewlondon
tipped
Or does google only source from big e-commerce rating websites? How do we get the ratings into our adwords?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Pashmina,
Thanks, that seems to correspond with the type of information I've been finding. So, we could integrate something like TrustPilot or Trusted Shops on our website (so people can make product specific reviews).
And then - is it automatic? Do they automatically show up on our google places page and on our adwords, or do we need to switch something on/do something else?
Thanks so much for the help!

Sounds like the reviews you've accumulated are for your company as a whole. Not for specific products. You'll need product specific reviews for them to to show up in Google's product extensions.

Hi Semil,
Thanks for your answer. I had checked the link before, we were just wondering, which review sites google uses as a source. We have the impression it is only the big e-commerce sites (http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185155). Our reviews are on
Yelp, Qype, Scoot, Remotegoat, viewlondon, tipped.
Do you know if these rating website are in google's "base of sources" and will thus be recognised and used in google adwords as rating extensions?
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Adwords landing pages with no site links
Adwords best practices say to focus landing pages on conversions, with no navigational links to the rest of your website so they don't get distracted. However, now that Google Ads in the SERPs look so similar to organic results, visitors may click the ads instead of the organic result because that's what they see first. What is the risk of turning off these visitors who come to a landing page with a form, instead of a way to navigate through the rest of your site? Discussion question: Trade-offs between a form-focused landing page and providing navigation to the rest of the site?

Do the clickable images on pages are bad that they will increase bounce rate and distract users?
Hi Moz community, I'm trying to get some helpful answers on this. We are planning to employ clickable images on our website pages which opens in new tab if users click on them. This is to make sure that they can see the large screenshots of our product. I wonder will this increase the bounce rate and drop the rankings. Please share your experience and guidance on this. Thanks

About how much time should I budget for an adwords audit?
Hi, I'm considering devoting either my time to or jobbing out an adwords audit. The account has about a dozen campaigns and in total about 60 ad groups, 15 landing pages. About 6000 clicks and about 450 lead gen conversions. Conversions are phone and thank you page. The account involves search, display and retargeting. Client is looking for actionable insights about both the account and the landing pages, prioritized, in order to lower cost per lead. Here are my questions: How many hours of work? How extensive of a deliverable is the result? What might this cost if I hired a knowledgeable individual (not a big firm)? Thanks!

Google Experiments issues
Hey fellow Mozzers! We're in the middle of working on CRO for a client of ours and we were going to try out Google Experiments for the first time. Following the click path described on the Google help page should take me to an option that says 'Create Experiment', but this isn't coming up - do we need to create the various URLs before it will let us set up an experiment, or has the system changed now? I've found in the past Google has a habit of updating its interfaces but not the advice on using the affected tools, so wondering if I'm looking at old information? Secondly, does the Experiment show a user the same variation of the page throughout their journey? What I mean by that is: their site currently has a real mish-mash of page styles, and I think a large part of boosting their conversions is probably down to ensuring consistency across the site as it currently seems like you're bouncing around different sites. But will this issue be made worse by running Experiments - ie, will I enter the site on Variation A, click a link and be shown the next page in Variation B and so on? If so, are we better off running the experiment on one page at a time and using what we've learnt to impact the next page? Thank for any help you can give! Nick.

Question On Product Review Video Production
We are looking to make reviews of many of the products we have on site (staff reviews). The only problem I am having is our products are not stored at our office (nor can they be as they weigh hundreds of pounds and are super expensive to ship). So what would be a good solution to show in the video? Should we just do a slide share of still shots of the products with a voice overlay or try something more of a hybrid that uses a whiteboard? The products themselves cater to gardeners and the DIY crowd so it doesn't need to be super involved.
