    Hello all.

    Can anyone help me with the code needed to show rating stars for your site in google search results.
    I understand that it has to do with schema.org and snippets but just a bit confused how to put it all together.
    Any help would be much appreicated.

    The stars show up in Google search when Google identifies that you have reviews on your website which have specific HTML markup associated to & your website meets certain quality guidelines.

    It's called 'Rich Snippet' for which you have to add the rating and other important things on the pages in 'Microformat, Microdata or RDF code and then you should upload the page again .

    When google will recognize that code in the explained detail like rating or reviews, It will understand that it has to be shown in Snippet in SERP and you will get the rating displayed in SERP
