Google announced Wednesday<\/a> it\u2019s making some improvements to how it decides which product reviews it shows in Search results. The idea behind these and other recent product reviews updates<\/a> is to ensure that reviews you see are high quality and actually include helpful information about a product you might be considering buying.<\/p>\n

The improvements build on earlier updates \u201cto make sure that product reviews in Search meet certain criteria,\u201d Google\u2019s Perry Liu said in a blog post. Here are some examples of the criteria Liu says the company is looking for:<\/p>\n

\n

Include helpful in-depth details, like the benefits or drawbacks of a certain item, specifics on how a product performs or how the product differs from previous versions<\/p>\n

Come from people who have actually used the products, and show what the product is physically like or how it\u2019s used<\/p>\n

Include unique information beyond what the manufacturer provides \u2014 like visuals, audio or links to other content detailing the reviewer\u2019s experience<\/p>\n

Cover comparable products, or explain what sets a product apart from its competitors<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The updates announced Wednesday will roll out \u201cover the next few weeks\u201d and \u201cmay impact the rankings of English-language product reviews across many sites,\u201d Google said in a separate post<\/a>. The company also plans to \u201copen up product review support for more languages\u201d in the future.<\/p>\n

The updates arrive amidst some criticism that Google\u2019s search results aren\u2019t quite as useful as they used to be<\/a>. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if these product review changes make it easier to find quality reviews, but they seem like they could be a small step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
