Google Expands Store Ratings to More Countries
Google has expanded its Store Ratings feature beyond the U.S., now available in Australia, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. This feature allows merchants to showcase customer feedback directly in search results, helping businesses boost visibility. The ratings appear across various Google surfaces, including organic results, knowledge panels, and ads. Merchants in these regions can participate in Google's free Customer Review program to qualify for these ratings, enhancing their local SEO efforts. Local SEO services can benefit from this update by improving online reputation management and increasing search visibility for businesses.
