From an altered appearance on the search engine result page to the potential implications for sellers, new launches, and seasoned products, we analyze it all.Good morning, Amazon aficionados! Welcome to Thursday's episode of the Amazon Ads Raw Daily podcast, episode 70. Today, we uncover one of the most discussed topics in recent weeks - Amazon's review/rating test.The chatter about this test has been immense. From LinkedIn to forums, everyone's offering their take. It's not just a small test limited to one region; reports show it's being seen in the US and Germany.Here's the scoop:Previously, product ratings showcased the average star rating with the number of stars filled in yellow, reflecting the product's overall rating. Now, in this new layout test, you'll only see one star, regardless of the product's average rating, acting more as an icon. Accompanying this star is the numerical rating - a clear shift from multiple stars to a single star and number.Furthermore, Amazon has altered the way they showcase the total reviews on mobile. Instead of displaying the actual count, Amazon provides a percentage representation - for instance, 89% 4+ star ratings.So, what's the potential impact of this change?From a seller's perspective, Amazon seems to be leveling the playing field. Products with a history of accumulating vast numbers of reviews may no longer have an advantage over newer, innovative products. This could be Amazon's way of pushing innovation, competition, and ensuring that consumers benefit from the best products, not just the ones with the most reviews.Additionally, this change might deter review manipulation and shift the focus towards genuine user experience. As we move forward, advertisers and sellers must adapt their strategies to this potentially new way of showcasing reviews and ratings.Is this change permanent or just another test in Amazon's long line of experiments? Only time will tell.Deutsche Zusammenfassung:In der heutigen Folge tauchen wir tief in Amazons neuesten Test für Bewertungen/Bewertungsanzeige ein, der für viel Aufsehen sorgt.
