How To Get Star Ratings In Google Search Results

We’ll go through a few things you can do to improve your chances of earning star ratings next to your business listing in Google’s organic search results in this article.

Step 1: Gather first-party reviews

According to Google, reviews must be collected directly from the business’s website to be eligible for star ratings. Reviews gathered from third-party websites such as Google, Yelp, and others are not eligible for star ratings.

Check out our review widgets, which make gathering reviews directly from your website a breeze.

Step 2: Include customer reviews on your website.

It’s time to put your evaluations on your website once you’ve started collecting them. Instead of presenting your reviews on your website’s homepage, we propose building a separate page for them.

Step 3: Auto-add new reviews

The next step is to make sure that the Auto-add new reviews setting is turned on:

Summary

To conclude, here is a list of guidelines to follow in order to improve your chances of having star ratings appear in Google search results:

  • To display the reviews, create a dedicated reviews page on your website.
  • Make sure the Auto-add new reviews feature is turned on.
  • Make sure that the reviews you highlight are easily accessible to users.
