Review Schema: Show Star Ratings in Every Google Search Result

Review Schema vs AggregateRating: which WordPress schema type shows star ratings in Google
Review schema marks up an individual review of a product, service, book, or business โ including the reviewer's name, rating, and review body text. Google can show this as a rich snippet or in a review carousel.
AggregateRating schema combines multiple reviews into a single rating โ showing "4.9 out of 5 based on 1,247 reviews" in search results. This is the most powerful form because it shows social proof at a glance.
AI Overview Schema supports both types and can map them automatically from WooCommerce reviews, WordPress comments, or custom review fields. The plugin also validates your review markup against Google's guidelines to ensure eligibility.
