Top Rated Icon

[xds40]

Has anyone seen this in their market? Google seems to be adding a "Top-Rated" icon below certain listings in the map pack. I cannot replicate in my searches but someone local to Austin was seeing this.

Yep, Jason wrote about it here: Google Testing Top Rated Labels in the Local Pack - Local University

I really hope it doesn't get rolled out.

Same here - I hope they decide against rolling this out nationally. This stands to harm more than it will help.

If having a high rating is a qualifier for this bulk review solicitation is going to go into overdrive and Google will become the land of the 4.9/5 start listings. +1, worth a test but hopefully doesn't make it into production.
