    Hi guys,

    I'm deep into the Schema.org meta-tags implementation for the reviews on my website and I'd love to know how do you think I should implement it when I have Positive-Negative reviews as opposed to star ratings.  I couldn't find a site that had this with schema tags for reference.  Fiverr used to have thumbs up/down, but recently changed to star rating.

    On our services marketplace we allow users to review the providers they worked with and ask them for a positive-negative review - thumbs up/down with an additional open text area.

    I thought about adding a schema.org meta-tags like this:

    Lets assume one of our providers got two reviews, one is positive and the second is negative. So, first I thought about adding an aggregateReview meta-tag on top, just like this:

    And also add a meta-tag for any review, like this:

    Two days ago by
        Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
        Joe is a great guy, I'd recommend him to my friends.

    Does that make sense?

    Has anyone had the chance to implement a schema.org meta tags for this kind of situation or familiar with a website who does it that way?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Shaqd

      I'm pretty sure it was on the product page you messaged about. Not that there is anything wrong with marking up several things on a page, but I'm just saying perhaps one of those other areas (e.g. pharmacy) is where the incomplete markup is instead of the product markup.

        Thanks Everett for your help.

        The HTML code is ok, you're right. It's something with how we configured the Schema.org tags.

        Btw, where did you see the several different schemas?

          Hello ShaqD,

          I had a look at the code and it looks good to me, but I'm not a developer by trade. Perhaps a developer could be of more assistance.

          One thing I did notice was that you have several different schemas on that page, such as one for "website" and one for "pharmacy". Is it possible that one of those is responsible for the error, or were they already on the page the last time you tested the site live without errors using the structured data testing tool?

            Well, I decided to go with the approach we discussed earlier. After I pushed the changes to our live environment and tested it on Google Structured Data Testing Tool, I found a really weird (and very generic) error: "Error: Incomplete microdata with schema.org."

            Any idea what could be the issue here?

            Results:

            Item
              type: http://schema.org/review
              property:
                reviewrating: Item 1
                datepublished: 2014-07-25
                author: Massim L.
                reviewbody: This is the great job made by X. You know what? I will have remix some of my previous songs too... he's so good!!!

            Error: Incomplete microdata with schema.org.

            Item 1
              type: http://schema.org/rating
              property:
                ratingvalue: 1
                worstrating: 0
                bestrating: 1

            Thanks.

              LOL, well you know the Moz folks. If they bent the rules just a bit they'd have a thousand haters calling them out on it publicly by the end of the day. So they tend toward sticking with legitimate best practices and unfortunately there is no such thing at the moment that I can find for "thumbs up or down" but I think a scale of 0-1 is definitely appropriate and will bring this up to the powers that be.

              Thanks!

                Everett, I think you're right. Since I didn't find a place to get inspiration from I will try it out in the way I mentioned above with a scale of 0-1 for every review.

                Btw, I'm not sure you guys noticed, but this forum includes thumbs up/down rating system.Unfortunately, they didn't implement the schema.org tags 🙂

                Thanks a million.

                  I would put the scale at 0-1. The choice is binary: on or off, good or bad, thumbs up or thumbs down. If you used 1-2 even a bad review would increase the score so the worst Item could end up having the highest rating on the site if enough people voted.

                  I haven't implemented thumbs up or thumbs down, but I have bent the use to match the way I present data on a site. The site I did this on does have star ratings in the SERPs, which use the aggregate rating of two or more star ratings/reviews. This is pretty standard, but my problem was that I was comparing two or more totally different products, and I'm sure the aggregate rating is meant to apply only to multiple reviews of the same thing. However, that was the only way to get the stars (unless I missed something, and I hope I did) so that's what I did.

                  All of that is to say, don't be afraid to try it out and see what happens. You're not going to get penalized for poorly implemented schema. Unless you are grossly and obviously trying to spam Google the worst that is going to happen is you don't get the snippet in the SERPs. The problem is even if everything is perfect, that doesn't guarantee Google will display them. 😕

                    Thanks Ray-pp for the quick and helpful response.

                    It might be a good idea to add bestRating/worstRating tags to each Review (I'm thinking whether it should be a 0/1 or 1/2 like you suggested). The thing is I need also to add an aggregateReview meta tag in addition to the reviews.

                    What do you think should be the values for the aggregateReview meta tags reviewCount and reviewValue than?

                      Hi Shaqd,

                      I have not personally implemented a thumbs up/down rating system, but have implemented a 5 star rating system.

                      Since your rating only have two values, either 1 or 2 (1 being thumbs down, 2 being thumbs up), you'll need to specify the Bestrating attribute so Google understands you only have two options.

                      This is because, by default, Google assumes a 5 star rating system (1-5) if the attribute is not specified.

                      On this page: http://schema.org/Rating you'll see how to add the bestrating attribute (bestRating)

                      It would be great if someone could give an example of how that looks in the SERPs too.

                        Dear Moz members, I m currently working on schema optimizations of my website casinobesty.com which review online casino websites. I have a doubt which schema itemReviewed type I have to use in the review pages. Currently I m using type as "Game" but I m not sure it is correct. "description": "",
                        "itemReviewed": {
                        "@type": "Game",
                        "name": "LeoVegas Casino",

                        Website Snippet Update in Search Console?

                        I have a company that I started working with that has an outdated and inaccurate snippet coming up.  See the link below. They changed their name from DK on Pittsburgh Sports to just DK Pittsburgh Sports several years ago, but the snippet is still putting the old info, including outdated and incorrect description. I'm not seeing that title or description anywhere on the site or a schema plugin.  How can we get it updated?  I have updated titles, etc. for the home page, and done a Fetch to get re-indexed.  Does Snippet have a different type of refresh that I can submit or edit? Thanks in advance https://g.co/kgs/qZAnAC

                        Schema markup concerning category pages on an ecommerce site

                        We are adding json+ld data to an ecommerce site and myself and one of the other people working on the site are having a minor disagreement on things. What it comes down to is how to mark up the category page. One of us says it needs to be marked up with as an Itempage, https://schema.org/ItemPage  The other says it needs to be marked up as products, with multiple product instances in the schema, https://schema.org/Product The main sticking point on the Itemlist is that Itemlist is a child of intangible, so there is a feeling that should be used for things like track listings or other arbitrary data.

                        When to Use Schema vs. Facebook Open Graph?

                        I have a client who for regulatory reasons cannot engage in any social media: no Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ accounts. No social sharing buttons allowed on the site. The industry is medical devices. We are in the process of redesigning their site, and would like to include structured markup wherever possible. For example, there are lots of schema types under MedicalEntity: http://schema.org/MedicalEntity Given their lack of social media (and no plans to ever use it), does it make sense to incorporate OG tags at all? Or should we stick exclusively to the schemas documented on schema.org?
