How To Add Review To A Structured Data Page
![]() |
exaple of stuctured data with rating – source: georanker |
Structured data helps to provide standardized information about a page and classify the page content. It also helps google enable certain search result features and enhancements. An page with structured data for instance, can appear in graphical search results on google and provide more engagement.
The simplest way to add a review to a structured data page, is to include the metadata for review within the code that runs your structured data. So the entire code for your website or blog will look something like the one displayed below.
The review property starts from where we have aggregate rating blah blah and ends before the </script> within the head tag.
You must also include this part from <!– Reviews Section –>
within the body tag to acually display reviews on the page.
Note: This information was uptained from the google knowledge base on structured data.
