Facebook tests new placement of star ratings

Facebook is trying to put star ratings in a more visible place, according to a test noticed by TechCrunch. Select pages have their star rating (out of 5) right below the page name.

A Facebook spokesperson discussed this test with TechCrunch:

We’re extending star ratings on Facebook from mobile to desktop – to make it easier for people to discover great businesses around them. This is beneficial for both businesses and consumers. Star ratings encourage more people to rate a business, making it eligible to appear in News Feed and help others discover a business they didn’t know about previously.
