Review Schema
Review schema is structured data markup that communicates customer review and rating information to search engines. It enables star ratings and review counts to appear in search results as rich snippets.
Why Review Schema Matters for SEO
Star ratings in search results are attention magnets — they dramatically increase click-through rates. Review schema is how you earn those stars. In competitive ecommerce SERPs, the listings with visible ratings pull clicks away from those without them.
How Review Schema Works
Add AggregateRating and Review schema to your product pages using JSON-LD. Include the rating value, review count, and ideally individual review details. The reviews must be genuine, visible on the page, and collected by your site — not scraped from third parties. Google validates that your schema matches your visible content before displaying rich snippets.
Common Mistakes
- Adding review schema to pages that do not actually display reviews
- Self-serving reviews where the business rates its own products
- Not keeping review schema updated as new reviews are added
