          Hi all,

          I have been collecting reviews for a little while now. Ofcourse im hoping to cross the 150 reviews border soon 🙂

          But i also added the review markup to my website to show up in organic results. This was working fine for a while. I did not added the markup to my homepage. But now for somehow google is not showing this review markup anymore in search results. So i decided to give the company that is hosting the review tool (google partner also) a call. The informed me that they had a lot of calls and e-mails since 2 weeks from their customers. All with the same problem that review markup is not used in search results anymore.

          Anyone else had this, or know about this issue?

            Hi There!

            I would run your review schema through the structured data testing tool another time to double check that nothing has changed between when you implemented the schema and now: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

            Keep in mind that Google gets to choose whether or not they want to show the review schema on the SERPs. So, your best bet is having the schema on your website and knowing that it passes the schema grades—but know that there is a chance it will not appear on the search results. Google chooses who it shows up for and when it shows up, which can be annoying but as long as you have it implemented correctly you're doing everything you can.

              I did do a little experiment a few days ago to see if i could let my reviews show up on a 10 point scale instead of 5 point scale. I changed the rating value and added "bestRating" to the script. The testing tool showed no errors on this script. This could be related to this issue or could be pure coincidence.

              I changed it back to its original state, we will what happens.

              btw no other company in my niche is using review data. So we where unique in this.

              And here a list of the agencies or google partners that are trusted bij Google. Thats what i meant bij third parties / agencies that are hosting reviews. I'm using one of them. When reaching the 150 reviews they should add review markup automaticly to my adwords campaigns also. btw they where not saying reviews markup is no longer used, they mentiod getting a lot of complaints lately of customers saying google didnt gave them they yellow stars in search results anymore.

                have you ran a test - https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

                Make sure nothing has changed or gone missing from your schema.

                Your agency is clearly telling a lie that it is no longer being used. - type in "car insurance" and you will see loads.

                  As far as I am aware digital agencies don't host reviews. The only Google "review" partners I am aware of are listed on the link  below.

                  https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375474?hl=en-GB Update - sorry the above link was for Google Adwords 😞 My bad...

                  Like you said it could be temporary and there have been instances of bugs in the past which have stopped them displaying, or Google may have chosen to stop reviews for your niche - or are others still displaying?

                  Have they chosen another site to show the ratings over yours?

                    Hi Tim,

                    Thnx for replying, and i'm fully aware of the fact that its up to google to use the markup or not. I 'm hoping this is just a temporary thing. But what caused me to to post this here, is that the agency that is hosting the review tool mentioned they got a high number of questions / complains about this since 2 weeks now.

                      We also use review mark-up. We use it based on aggregated / combined scores - say 200 reviews average 4.7 out of 5 etc.

                      As far as I am aware Google is still using this schema markup and it is indeed showing up for us at press.

                      The one thing to consider however, is that Google chooses to either show the rating or not. Just because you have it in place does not mean they will use it. If the rest of your niche also uses the schema you may find that Google will only select a few at a time.

                        Should posts show in multiple categories?

                        seo wordpress

                        Hi all, For context, I'm trying to Silo my content more efficiently. I've just moved all content into their own SILO'd categories and removed them from duplicate categories. As such, posts now sit only in 1 category. My question here is: Should my posts be showing in both the parent category and its sub category or just the sub-category? I've currently got this only showing in the sub-categories it's relevant to. For example:
                        Post name: Shimano Fishing Rod Review
                        Parent Category: Fishing Rods
                        Sub Category: Shimano And the post only shows inside the Shimano Category

                        Schema Markup for eCommerce Category Pages?

                        My research indicates that applying an ItemList schema markup to our category pages is likely the best way to go. However, I've also ready that Google discourages schema markup on category pages. I'm just wondering if any of you have applied schema markup to your category pages and, if so, how did you do it? John,

                        Changes taken over in the SERP's: How long do I have to wait until i can rely on the (new) position?

                        I changed different things on a particular page (mainly reduced the exaggerated keyword density --> spammy). I made it recrawl by Google (Search Console). The new version has now already been integrated in the SERP's.Question: Are my latest changes (actual crawled page in the SERP's is now 2 days old) already reflected in the actual position in the SERP's or should I wait for some time (how long?) to evaluate the effect of my changes? Can I rely on the actual position or not?

                        Using Schema markup for Feefo reviews

                        I am a little confused about whether or not it is ok to use Schema markup with reviews collected through Feefo. We use Feefo to collect reviews from our customers and these get displayed on our website. We get service ratings as well as product ratings through Feefo. My question is: Is it ok to use Schema markup for these? I would have thought they would fall under 3rd party reviews, but this article from the Feefo website seems to suggest that it would be ok to use markup in the way they recommend. Can anyone confirm how Google handles review markup like this? Thanks in advance!

                        Do Blog Tags affect SEO at all anymore?

                        We're trying to standardize the use of tags on our site amongst writers/editors, and I'm trying to come up a list of tags they can choose from to tag posts with - and telling them to use no more than 10 (absolute maximum) per post. We are also in the process of migrating to a new CMS, and have 8 defined categories that will all have their own landing page within our "News" section. TLDR: Do blog tags have any impact on SEO anymore? Are they solely meant to help users find articles related on popular topics, or does creating a tag for a popular topic help to improve organic visibility? Full Question: With the tag standardization, I want to make sure we're creating the most useful and effective tags; and the UX/SEO sides of my brain are conflicted. To my understanding, creating a tag about a high volume topic in an industry helps establish the website's relevance to Google/other search engines about that topic and improves overall relevance; but the tag feed page (ex: http://freshome.com/tag/home-protection/) isn't really meant for organic search visibility. So my other question is, is it worth it to noindex the tag pages in the robots.txt? Will that affect any benefit to increased relevance for Google (if there is any)? I'm interested to hear others' thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

                        Does show/hide element with javascript impact SEO

                        Hi I am developing an ecommerce site and want to place text on all category and home page. The challenge is that 300 words of text for the pages does not fit into the design appropriately especially on the home page. If I were to use a show/hide element with javascript would this be seen as spam or a trick to the search engines. I do not think it is spam as it will be actual content for the site and the visitor can view it if they click on the show button. Would love to hear your thoughts?

                        Date stamp in serp

                        I have a website with sauna reviews. These are mostly pages that exist for years and regularly change because comments/reviews are added by visitors and/or because I change information on the page. When searching in Google for competitive keywords I noticed that the snippet of my direct competitor included a date stamp in the format (9 hous ago). How can I include a time stamp in the snippet, and more important how can I make sure that the timestamp is very recent. Is it sufficient to add a date on the page every time the page is updated or is ther emore to it?
