Testimonials present but no AggregateRating schema
This check looks for AggregateRating schema, a block of structured data (information search engines read but visitors don't see) that tells Google your star rating and review count, wherever testimonials appear on the page. Testimonials are visible here, but no AggregateRating schema was found. Star ratings can appear directly beside your listing in Google search results when this markup is present, but without it, the testimonials on your page have no way to surface there, no matter how good they are. That's a visible trust signal in the search results themselves that competitors with the schema in place are already capturing. Your developer should add AggregateRating JSON-LD (a structured data format), with a ratingValue and reviewCount, wrapped inside your existing Organization or Product schema, using real numbers sourced from actual reviews rather than invented ones. Budget about an hour, then validate the result using Google's Rich Results Test tool.
