Overview
Highlights star ratings in Google search results to help identify fake reviews and choose trusted sources.
RatingVerifier is a browser extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by highlighting star ratings in Google search results. This helps you identify potentially fake reviews and choose trusted sources more effectively. Why Install RatingVerifier? Identify Fake Reviews: The extension marks ratings on Google search results, making it easier to spot potentially manipulated reviews. Choose Trusted Sources: By highlighting ratings, you can quickly identify and choose sources you trust. Enhanced Browsing Experience: Avoid wasting time on unreliable websites and focus on credible information. How It Works Google uses the JSON-LD schema to structure data on web pages. One of the common schemas used is the AggregateRating schema, which allows websites to display star ratings directly in search results. This schema includes information like the average rating, the number of reviews, and the best and worst ratings. Example of JSON-LD AggregateRating Schema: { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Example Product", "aggregateRating": { "@type": "AggregateRating", "ratingValue": "4.5", "reviewCount": "24" } } Potential for Manipulation While the AggregateRating schema is a powerful tool for displaying ratings, it can be manipulated by website owners. Unless Google has a reason to suspect a website, it might display the rating provided by the site origin. This means that some ratings might not be entirely trustworthy. Reference For more information on how Google handles ratings and reviews, you can refer to discussions on Google's Webmaster Central Help Forum: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/214882364/how-does-google-validate-ratingcount-in-aggregate-review-schema?hl=en By installing RatingVerifier, you can take control of your browsing experience, avoid potentially fake reviews, and make more informed decisions based on trusted sources.
