The AggregateRating markup is computed live from the reviews stored in your database, and nothing is output as long as no review has been saved.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Paste the raw text copied from your Google reviews panel. The plugin parses it and extracts the author, the rating, the review body and the relative date of each review. English and French relative dates are recognised.<\/li>\n<li>Review, correct, add or delete reviews one by one from a standard admin screen.<\/li>\n<li>A dedicated public page is served at <code>\/customer-reviews\/<\/code> by default. The slug is configurable.<\/li>\n<li>A shortcode <code>[wscrg_reviews]<\/code> displays the list anywhere, with an optional <code>limit<\/code> attribute.<\/li>\n<li>A genuine schema.org <code>AggregateRating<\/code> block, computed from the stored reviews (average, review count, 1 to 5 bounds), is printed in the <code>&lt;head&gt;<\/code> of the reviews page.<\/li>\n<li>A PHP function <code>wscrg_get_aggregate_rating()<\/code> is exposed so your theme or your SEO plugin can inject the same rating into its own <code>Organization<\/code> or <code>LocalBusiness<\/code> JSON-LD.<\/li>\n<li>When WooCommerce is active, an optional store reviews block can be displayed on product pages that have no product review. It is clearly labelled as a store review, never as a product review, and it never emits <code>Review<\/code> or <code>AggregateRating<\/code> markup at product level.<\/li>\n<li>Reviews are stored in a dedicated database table created on activation, not as posts or pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The plugin works fully on a WordPress site without WooCommerce.
