How to Add Product Review Schema in WordPress

Would you like to know how to add product review schema in WordPress?

Displaying product reviews on search engine results pages (SERPs) is a great way to build trust and increase your clickthrough rate (CTR).

In this article, I’ll show you how to add product review schema in WordPress.  

Why are Product Reviews Important?

In my almost 10 years in the SEO and digital marketing industry, I've noticed a lot of SEO best practices that help brands win at SEO. For eCommerce brands, one such is adding product review schema markup. Product reviews are an essential ingredient to effective online marketing for many reasons. The primary ones include:

  • Social proof: People buy from brands others trust. If you’re a small business, getting more online reviews is a great way to prove to prospective customers that you’re a legitimate business.
  • Build trust: User reviews are a great way to build trust with your audience. They show your reliability and competence in delivering on your promises. The higher the number of reviews, the more users will trust your brand.
  • Drive sales: Reviews encourage prospects to buy from you as they show that previous customers were satisfied with your product or service. 
  • Encourage customer loyalty: The more customers interact with your brand, the more likely they are to become loyal. And reviews are a great way to foster that interaction.
  • Boost SEO: The more users mention your brand and product, the more likely search engines are to rank your product pages higher. Plus, when you output review schema markup, it positively impacts your clickthrough rates (CTR), which also impacts your rankings in search results.

As you can see, the importance of product reviews can not be overstated.

  1. My site vanjobs.ca – is a recruitment agency / placement firm – with “really good Google reviews. Do I need to use “product” – or is there another way to add reviews to a schema input?
