Review and AggregateRating schema surfaces your genuine, existing customer reviews as structured data, which can enable star ratings to display directly in search results — built from real, verifiable reviews you’ve actually received, never fabricated or inflated ratings.
Review & AggregateRating schema
Real, existing reviews surfaced as schema — never fabricated or inflated ratings.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Access to your existing genuine reviews, wherever they’re currently stored (WooCommerce, a review plugin, a third-party platform)
- Confirmation these are real customer reviews, not testimonials written for marketing purposes
- Access to the relevant templates for implementation
This or something else?
| You have genuine existing reviews and want them marked up as structured data | This fix covers it |
| You don’t have any reviews yet and want a review collection system set up instead | A different, related task — collecting reviews comes before marking them up |
| Review schema exists but shows a validation error | Schema validation error fixes |
| You want Product schema more broadly, not just the review component | Product & Offer schema for WooCommerce |
What we do
- Confirm the source and authenticity of existing reviews
- Implement Review and AggregateRating schema reflecting the real review data
- Verify the aggregate rating calculation matches the actual underlying reviews
- Test the output against Google’s Rich Results Test
- Confirm compliance with schema guidelines around review authenticity
- Check for any conflicting review schema from an existing plugin
What is included
- Review and AggregateRating schema implemented from genuine review data
- Verified accuracy of the aggregate calculation
- Tested, valid schema output
- A check for conflicts with existing review schema
Not included
- Setting up a review collection system, if you don’t have genuine reviews yet — a separate, prerequisite task
- Writing, editing, or curating reviews — this reflects real reviews as submitted, unaltered
- Guaranteeing star ratings actually appear in search results, which is Google’s own decision and subject to its policies
- Ongoing updates as new reviews come in, unless separately arranged for automatic sync
Questions about this fix
Can you write positive reviews to display if I don't have many yet?
No — this schema is specifically meant to reflect genuine customer reviews, and fabricating or inflating ratings violates both this platform's standards and Google's own schema guidelines, risking your data being ignored or penalised.
What if my reviews are currently scattered across multiple platforms?
We can work with whichever source holds your genuine reviews, though consolidating scattered reviews into one clear, structured source is worth discussing if that's currently the situation.
Will star ratings definitely show up in my search results after this?
No — accurate schema makes your listing eligible, but Google applies its own review and policy checks before deciding to display star ratings, and can decline to show them even with valid data.
Does this work with WooCommerce's built-in review system?
Yes, if you're using WooCommerce's native reviews, we can implement schema drawing directly from that existing data rather than requiring a separate system.
What happens if a review used in this schema is later removed or edited?
The schema should reflect current, accurate data, so a removed or heavily edited review would need the schema updated correspondingly to stay accurate — worth flagging if that happens.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
