The way it is achieved makes a mockery of the Google review system and shows just how pointless and meaningless the stars are.

Basically all anyone needs to do is ask 2 people to provide a review of them (preferably 2 people who they know will give a 5 star rating) and then add a snippet of microdata to any page they would like the stars to appear alongside in Google.

Full instructions are shown here  Google reviews stars in Google results Manipulation Exposed

With the Google stars giving such an advantage surely Google shouldn’t be displaying them simply based on 2 reviews which could be easily faked or fabricated.

Until Google sort out this loophole and stop people being able to manipulate the Google review system they have little choice other than removing all stars or as they appear to do Not bother.

Come on Google, please remove all stars from the SERPs now as the advantage is to great to those who game the system.

Comments please.

The simple answer is, if you can create a gradient no steeper than 1:20 it isn’t technically classed as a ramp but as a slope, and you can have a slope of 1:20 up to a maximum height of 500mm before incorporating intermittent level landing and passing areas.

Any steeper than 1:20 and that slope then becomes a ramp which technically requires handrails up-stands and non slip surfaces.

Please Note: The above applies when having to comply with building regulations, and are recommended guidelines. Please ensure you receive expert advice before acting on this information.
