Can i set my own rich snipet values ?

[kurosaki4d]

Hello,

I have some reviews pages to which i would like to create some rich snipets (schema).

And i wanted to know if i set myself manually the values to the following parameters will Google approve of that in terms of SEO? or is it mandatory for these ratings to be dynamically generated by the reviews left by the users ?

If anyone has a clear idea on the subject, i would very much appreciate your feedbacks.

Thank you

                                "@context": "http://schema.org/",
                                "@type": "AggregateRating",
                                "itemreviewed": "software",
                                "bestRating": "9",
                                "worstRating": "2",
                                "ratingValue": "7,5",
                                "reviewCount": "50"
                            }

It's not a good idea. Google will know sooner or later. I don't advise you to do that.

Thank you for your quick reply !

So the values must always be dynamic coming from the users reviews, that's what you're saying ?

You can set up your own rich snippets. It's white hat and google is perfectly fine with it. Matthew Woodward has a post on how to do it. Or you can search youtube for the javascript. Don't remember the links from the top of my head. Just keep in mind that Google will decide if they want to show the snippets on SERP. Most of the time they do.

Yes there is no any issue in using custom review schema in your website.
Google will not only show that for your homepage

I'm confused now, i'm hearing different answers now, on top i read it's not ok by Google, now you are telling me that it's ok set manually my own rating values in the review, and google will be ok with it ?

Any sources to confirm this ?

Thanks

I think that I misunderstood your question and my answer was tailored more towards FAQ Rich Snippets
https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/seo/on-page/faq-rich-snippets/
if you're looking for rich snippets by using structured data or schema markups see this post
https://www.spyfu.com/blog/rich-sni...i-use-rich-snippets-22-rich-snippet-examples-
or google 'rich snippets examples' either way they are legit as long as you follow Google guidelines.

Alright, in that case i'll use the dynamic values collected from the user reviews. Thanks mate !
