Highlights star ratings in Google search results to help identify fake reviews and choose trusted sources.
RatingVerifier Extension
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.
