What are Google Seller Ratings?
In simple words: Google Seller Ratings are yellow stars displayed along your paid advertising in Google – aka Google Ads. The Google stars are based on reviews from real customers and are only displayed if collected from trusted parties, like Feedback Company. However, stars collected from other third-parties such as Yelp, Facebook or TripAdvisor will not be taken into consideration for Google Seller Ratings.
