Validates Review and AggregateRating structured data for proper rating values and review content.
This check validates `Review` and `AggregateRating` structured data, checking that rating values are within valid ranges (e.g., 1-5), the reviewed item is specified, and ratings match visible review content. It also flags self-serving reviews (businesses reviewing themselves).
Review stars in search results are one of the most powerful click-through rate boosters. However, Google has strict rules about review markup — misuse can result in manual actions and loss of all rich results.
Review stars can increase CTR by 20-30%. However, Google may issue manual actions for self-serving reviews, fake ratings, or review markup on inappropriate content types.
