Aggregate rating for products

[f_ryf]

hello

Currently I'm working with a retail customer to optimize his search experience. There's some odd behaviour about aggregate ratings for products. Products without a price (price based on daily demand) are shown with proper delivering the 'rich snippet' search result. On the other hand, products with a price are shown normally without any mark up.

Here's what I did for now

• checked mark ups code wise (used the markup validator)
• re-submitted xml sitemaps
• search query is (for test purposes): [product name] + [retailer brand name]

the question is: why aren't just these specific aggregated ratings (with a price) shown and the other ones are shown properly? Furthermore, is it a question of relevancy (can't imagine that cause the search query is really specific to the needed result)?

thank you!

Hi there.

Well, unfortunately, having pages/products marked up doesn't guarantee that google will use that markup in rich snippets.

And, as far I know, there is no way to "make" Google use it. The only what you can do is what you already have done - make sure that everything has no errors and validate it.

Other that that - it's just time.

Hope this helps.

Nobody can answer this question without seeing your code. Can you share the site? Maybe by private message?

Dmitrii is right - sometimes Google just doesn't show snippets and it's hard to tell why. Are other products receiving rich snippets for the same queries? If not, it may just be that Google has decided that that SERP shouldn't have snippets.
