Enabling SEO Schema Markup for WooCommerce Product Reviews

Add product ratings and review data for search engines with the Reviewbird WordPress plugin, then check your product pages.

Reviewbird can give Google and other search engines the review data they need to show product ratings in search results. Turn on Search results in the WordPress plugin to include this data on your product pages.

What schema markup does

Schema markup is information on a page that helps search engines understand it. Reviewbird adds the product's average star rating, review count, and up to 10 recent reviews to the information WooCommerce provides.

Google decides which search results show stars. Turning this setting on does not guarantee that stars will appear.

Enabling schema markup

  1. In WordPress, open Reviewbird > Settings.
  2. Find Search results and turn on the switch.

The change saves immediately. Use a connected store and a product with approved Reviewbird reviews to check the result.

Testing schema markup

The Search results panel has two links to help you check a product page:

  • Test rich results opens Google's tool to check whether it can read the data needed for enhanced search results, such as product stars.
  • Validate schema checks the page's structured data for errors.

Test a product page that already has approved reviews. A product without reviews does not have review ratings to include.

FAQ

Why does Google not show my product stars?

Start with Test rich results to check your product page. Correct any errors the tool reports. Even when the data is correct, Google can choose to show a result without stars.

Why is review data missing from the test?

Check that Search results is on, your store is connected, and the product has approved reviews in Reviewbird. New stores must also finish checkout to activate their trial.

Why does the test show an old rating?

Reviewbird updates the review data after your ratings change. Give the update time to finish, clear your store's page cache, and test the product page again.
