SEO Schema for Product Reviews automatically adds structured data to your product pages, helping search engines understand your review content and potentially displaying rich results like star ratings directly in search results. This powerful feature can significantly improve your click-through rates from Google and other search engines.
What is Review Schema?
Schema markup is structured data that helps search engines understand your content better. For reviews, it tells Google:
How many reviews a product has
The average rating
Individual review details
Who wrote the reviews
When reviews were posted
When properly implemented, this can result in rich snippets – those eye-catching star ratings you see in Google search results that make listings stand out and get more clicks.
How It Works
Automatic Implementation
When enabled, Reviewsion automatically:
Generates structured data for each product with reviews
Injects schema markup into your product pages
Updates dynamically as new reviews come in
Validates against Google's requirements
Includes all necessary fields for rich results eligibility
What's Included
The schema contains:
aggregateRating: Overall rating and review count

If enabled, choose whether to include a featured review:

Toggle "Yes, include a featured review in the schema" if desired.

Common Questions
"Will this guarantee rich snippets?"
No. Google decides whether to show rich snippets based on many factors:
Content quality
Site authority
Search relevance
Technical correctness
Schema makes you eligible but doesn't guarantee display.
"What if my theme already has schema?"
Don't enable Reviewsion's schema if:
Your theme includes review schema
Another app adds review schema
You've manually added schema
Duplicate schema won't harm your site but it's unnecessary and can confuse search engines.
"How long until I see results?"
Typically:
Indexing: 3-7 days for Google to process
Rich snippets: 1-4 weeks to appear
Results vary based on site authority and competition.
"Should I include featured reviews?"
Yes, if you have great reviews. Featured reviews can:
Appear more prominently in search
Provide context in results
Increase click-through rates
Build immediate trust

Schema is enabled in Reviewsion
Product has published reviews

The setup takes just one click, but the impact on your organic traffic can be substantial. With star ratings appearing directly in search results, you'll stand out from competitors and build trust before customers even reach your site.
