    Do you think rich snippets with Ratings stars get better CTR compared to rich snippets without Ratings?

    Personally I think it does, bright rating star gets click-through rate. Do you think the same? Disagree?

    I agree, that online visitors like to see ratings as these other a greater sense of authenticity.

    Absolutely, and even more so for certain search queries where rankings/scoring is relevant.

    I noticed that there are rich snippets with star rating are ranking high in the search results and I'm not surprised because it represents as a review from the audience to the reputable website which is a good signal to the searchers that the site has credibility in the respective field.
