Reviews Rich Snippet Stars
Stand out in Google with Rich Snippet stars?
Stars in the organic (unpaid) search results, you achieve with Rich Snippets. WebwinkelKeur offers support for this!
Since 2019, Google has changed its policy. It is no longer possible to obtain stars in the Google search results with shop reviews (reviews that are about your webshop). However, this is of course still possible with product reviews. To obtain Rich Snippet stars, we advise you to activate the option product reviews.
Fortunately, WebwinkelKeur continues to support Rich Snippets via product reviews. After all, this can still have positive effects on Google and other search engines. In addition, you still have the option to get the stars in Google Ads & Shopping with your shop reviews.
Update: Google is showing these stars less and less frequently. Because of this, the use of the Rich Snippets in this article is not in line with their vision. WebwinkelKeur has no further influence on this, even if the Rich Snippet is placed properly.
