# How long does it take for star ratings to appear on Google?

While the time differs for every Shopify store, the time for a product review to appear with a star rating usually takes a couple weeks.

### Requirements

-   If your store is on Shopify, please follow [**our instructions**](https://docs.ryviu.com/en/articles/34-add-google-rich-snippets-for-your-shopify-product-page.md) to add Google-rich snippets for your store.
    
-   If your store is WordPress WooCommerce, the rich snippets are automatically applied when you install the Ryviu plugin for your store.
    

### Timeframe for Star Ratings to Appear

The appearance of star ratings depends on when Google crawls and indexes your site, which typically takes a few weeks to several months.

### Possible Reasons for Delays

If you add the Google Snippets correctly, as our instructions but you still don't get the star ratings displaying, here are a few reasons that might be blocking your star rating from showing up:

-   Google hasn't crawled your site.
    
-   You haven't waited long enough.
    
-   Google has decided not to show the rich results.
    

You can check the result by adding your product URL on [**Structured Data Testing Tool**](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/) after adding the Google rich snippets.
