Embedded Reviews & Critic Reviews

#pubcon@CarrieHill

Make sure the reviews and ratings you mark up are readily available to users from the marked-up page. It should be immediately obvious to users that the page has review or ratings content.

Do not markup what doesn’t exist on a page.

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/reviews#review-snippets

#pubcon@CarrieHill

Ratings must be sourced directly from users.

Don't rely on human editors to create, curate or compile ratings information for local businesses. These types of reviews are critic reviews.

Sites must collect ratings information directly from users and not from other sites.

For Local Businesses

jSON vs SchemaUse what works

Use what you’re comfortable withJSON goes in the <Head> not wrapped around content - doesn’t “break as easily”

Google has indicated they’ll use both, doesn’t favor one over the other

IMO - JSON has a greater potential for abuse (marking up content in the “code” that doesn’t exist on the page.) Google will slap that down - don’t do it.
