PPC & Google Ads

Your reviews are your ad budget.

Every click without stars costs more than a competitor who has them. Your reviews activate Seller Ratings and make every euro of budget work harder.

The problem

+2%

average CTR lift on text ads with active Seller Ratings.

Source: Google Ads

No reviews. Your ad budget funds your competitors.

No stars means less trust, fewer clicks, and a weaker Quality Score. Every click costs more. While well-rated competitors pay less for the same position, your budget bankrolls their visibility, not yours.

The 4 levers

Four ways your reviews supercharge your Google Ads campaigns.

More clicks

A star rating captures the click.

On a page of ads that all look the same, the star catches the eye. At the same position, a rated ad stands out and takes clicks away from an unrated one. That is +2% average click-through rate on text ads, Google's official figure.

Cheaper clicks

A better Quality Score, for less.

Quality Score measures the relevance of your ads. Seller Ratings improve your expected CTR, one of its three components. A better score reduces your cost per click and improves your position, at equal budget.

More sales

The paid click turns into a purchase.

Once on your page, the visitor decides. A product displaying reviews records a higher purchase likelihood than one without. Your recent reviews and rating, visible in the right place, drive up conversion.

A lasting advantage

Your stars keep shining while others lose theirs.

Google only counts recent reviews. Without regular collection, your volume ages, your stars eventually disappear and you fall back below the threshold. We collect at every order to maintain volume and freshness, continuously.

How it works

How Review Collect activates your Seller Ratings.

3 steps. Live in 48h, no developer needed.

01

We collect your reviews with every order.

Post-purchase email, SMS, or QR code. 40% of your customers respond, versus 2.5% without a prompt. Review Collect triggers the request at the optimal moment, right after delivery.

02

We push them to platforms Google reads.

Google My Business, Trustpilot, Verified Reviews. These are the certified sources for Seller Ratings. Review Collect distributes your reviews where they count for your campaigns.

03

Your Seller Ratings activate and stay active.

Once the threshold is reached, your stars appear automatically in Search and Shopping ads. Review Collect keeps a steady flow of reviews so your Seller Ratings never fall below the threshold.

By ad format

Your stars appear everywhere your ads run.

Stars under your text ads, in search results.

When someone searches for your product type, your ad can show a star rating right below the headline. That's what the eye catches first on a results page, where your ad sits next to unrated competitors.

Seller Ratings

The 3 conditions to activate your stars in Google Ads.

Google calculates your Seller Ratings from reviews on certified platforms: Google, Trustpilot, and Verified Reviews. Your rating is weighted and consolidated automatically. We push your reviews to these sources with every order.

Review Collect distributes your reviews across these sources with every order. Data shows 10 reviews is enough to seem real, 50 to seem reliable, 100 to anchor credibility. You don't have to choose where to send customers — Review Collect handles distribution across all platforms that matter to Google.

  • Volume: around 100 reviews in the past 24 months

    Google only counts recent reviews. A fixed volume isn't enough — you need a regular flow. We collect with every order.

  • Average rating of 3.5 or above

    That's the threshold for text ads. We help you hold it by collecting fresh reviews continuously, and giving unhappy customers a private channel to resolve issues before posting.

  • Google-recognised source

    Your reviews must come from a certified platform: Google, Trustpilot, Verified Reviews. We distribute to all three — no choosing required.
