What is Review/Rating Schema?
Review schema (AggregateRating) is structured data that tells AI systems how customers rate your products. It includes the average rating, total review count, and individual review details — all in a format AI agents can read instantly.
Why it matters
- AI shopping assistants prioritize products with verified ratings when making recommendations
- Trust signals help AI agents confidently recommend your products over competitors
- Rich results display star ratings directly in search and AI-generated responses
- Comparison engines use ratings as a key factor when ranking alternatives
What to do
Add AggregateRating markup within your product JSON-LD, including ratingValue, reviewCount, and bestRating. If you have individual reviews, include Review objects with author, date, and rating. Only use real customer reviews — fabricated ratings violate guidelines and erode trust.
