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

Code:
                            {
                                "@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 ?
 
Thank you very much for your valuable insight !

Thanks to you i know how i shall proceed :)
 
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.
 
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
