Reviews Widget

Feature

Star rich snippets — built into every embed

A reviews widget that renders reviews visually but skips the schema markup is a missed SEO opportunity. Reviews Widget injects valid Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD on every page it embeds on — the exact structured data Google Search needs to display star rich snippets.

What the widget injects

Each embed writes two schema types into the page: an AggregateRating object on the parent business, and one Review object per visible review with author, rating, date and body. Everything nests under a LocalBusiness (or an Organization, if you don't have a physical address) so Google can attribute the rating to your business, not the page in isolation.

Validated against Google's Rich Results Test

Every schema block is generated from the same template we validate against Google's Rich Results Test on every release. That means the moment you paste the embed, your page becomes eligible for star rich snippets — no schema plugin, no manual JSON-LD, no dev time.

Policy-compliant reviews

Google's structured data policy for reviews specifically bars self-serving reviews (reviews you write about your own business on your own site). Because Reviews Widget only shows reviews left on Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, TripAdvisor or Facebook — with a link back to the original — every review is third-party by definition, keeping you inside policy.

Frequently asked questions

What's a star rich snippet?+

It's the row of yellow stars, review count and average score Google Search shows below some organic results. It usually lifts click-through rate by 20–35% versus a plain listing.

How do I get star rich snippets on my pages?+

Google needs valid Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD in the page HTML. Every Reviews Widget embed injects it — you don't have to write schema by hand.

Will Google definitely show the stars?+

Rich results are Google's call — they read the schema, then decide. In practice most pages with valid Review + AggregateRating schema start showing stars within a few weeks. Reviews Widget only ensures the schema is technically valid; the ranking is on you.

Can I test the schema?+

Yes. Paste your live URL into Google's Rich Results Test — the widget's JSON-LD validates as Review and AggregateRating types out of the box.

Does the schema follow Google's 2026 policy for self-serving reviews?+

Yes. Reviews come from your Google Business Profile (or Trustpilot / Yelp / etc.), not from your own site, so they're first-party third-party reviews — which is what Google's structured data policy for reviews requires.
