How 5-Star Review Stars Help Your Law Firm's SEO
When Google shows 5‑star ratings for a law firm, this is what your potential clients see in the search results:
Example: trademark attorney result with a 5.0‑star rating rich snippet in Google search.
Those little gold stars under your firm’s name do three things for you:
- Make your result stand out
In a wall of blue links, a 5‑star rating instantly draws the eye. You get more clicks from the rankings you already have. - Build trust before they even click
Seeing your rating and review count in Google search makes you look like the safer choice compared to firms with no stars showing. - Turn rankings into more enquiries
Higher click‑through rates and more trust upfront mean more people reaching out for consultations, not just browsing your site.
When Will Google Actually Show My 5-Star Rating?
When you add 5‑star review schema to your site, you’re making your pages eligible to show stars in Google — you’re not forcing Google to show them every time.
Here’s how it really works.
What you control vs what Google controls
You control:
- Adding valid 5‑star review schema to your pages
- Using real reviews and real review counts
- Keeping your site technically clean (no major errors in Google’s Rich Results Test)
- Building a strong overall SEO foundation (good content, links, and user experience)
Google controls:
- Whether to show 5‑star ratings at all
- Which pages get stars (home page, practice pages, blog posts, etc.)
- Which search queries trigger stars (some keywords show them, some don’t)
- When stars appear, disappear, or change over time
Even with perfect schema, Google can choose not to show stars for certain searches. That’s normal.
Common patterns we see with rich results
Most law firms see patterns like:
- Stars show more often on specific practice / service pages than on the home page
- Branded searches (your firm name) are more likely to show stars than generic searches (“family lawyer Sydney”)
- Stronger sites (better authority and reviews) get more consistent rich results over time
If your schema is valid and installed correctly, seeing stars sometimes and not others usually means Google is making case‑by‑case decisions, not that your code is broken.
How to know if your code is working
The best way to check the technical side is:
- Go to: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
- Enter your home page URL (and key practice pages) and run the test
- Check that your review schema appears and there are no errors
If the test shows your review schema and no errors, your site is technically eligible to display 5‑star ratings. From there, it’s up to Google when and where to show them in the search results.
Common Mistakes that Stop 5‑Star Ratings From Showing
Even with the right schema type, a few common mistakes can stop Google from ever showing your 5‑star ratings.
Mistake #1. Confusing or misleading review numbers
Your review rating & count should be based on reality.
It’s fine to:
- Use your real Google Reviews data
- Add in reviews from other platforms (Facebook, Yelp, etc.) if you actually have them
It’s risky to:
- Make up reviews that don’t exist
- Jump from a small real number to a huge fake number (e.g. 100 to 500+)
If a regulator or Google ever checked, you want to be able to show where your numbers came from.
Mistake #2. Putting schema on the wrong pages
Law firms often:
- Only add review schema to a random blog post
- Forget to add it to their home page or main practice pages
Your best chance of stars is usually on your home page & key service pages that already get search traffic.
Mistake #3. Technical errors in the code
Tiny mistakes can break everything, like:
- Missing commas or quotes in the JSON
- Mixing different schema types incorrectly
- Adding code in the wrong part of your site (e.g. only in the footer of one page)
That’s why we recommend:
- Copying the full code block exactly as generated
- Adding it once in your site‑wide header / code injection area
- Testing it with Google’s Rich Results Test to make sure there are no errors
Mistake #4. Weak overall SEO & reputation
Schema is not a magic switch. If:
- Your site is new or very weak
- You have very few or very mixed reviews
- Bigger, more trusted competitors dominate your niche
Google may choose to show their stars before yours, or not show any at all.
The fix:
- Keep earning genuine 5‑star reviews across platforms
- Keep improving your content & SEO
- Use this tool to stay technically eligible while you build authority

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this guarantee 5‑star ratings showing for my Google search results?
No. The schema code makes your law firm’s website technically eligible to show 5‑star ratings under its Google search results. Google decides whether and where they appear.
Is this only for Google?
This schema follows common standards (JSON‑LD). Google is the main search engine that uses this type of review markup, but other platforms (including ChatGPT and Bing) may also read it.
Do I need a developer to use this tool?
You can follow the guides and videos yourself if you’re comfortable logging into your site and pasting code. If not, send the PDF to your developer or use our Done‑For‑You setup.
Does this replace normal SEO?
No. Schema supports your existing rankings. It helps your current positions stand out and convert better; it doesn’t replace content, links, or technical SEO.
