Review Ratings & Schema

A lightweight review toolkit for WordPress — star ratings, pros/cons, quick facts, and a CTA button on any post, with automatic Review schema.org markup that's only emitted when you actually set a rating.

What it does

Adds one metabox to the post editor with eight optional fields: overall rating, offer/bonus, payout/delivery speed, minimum deposit/price, primary CTA button text + URL, and pros/cons. Display the result anywhere with the [igs_review_box] shortcode, or call igsrs_render_review_box() directly from a theme.

Built for casino, betting, and other affiliate/comparison review sites — pairs naturally with the Wager Review theme, but works standalone with any theme.

Why the schema matters

When a rating is set, the plugin outputs Review schema.org JSON-LD automatically so search engines can show star ratings in results. If no rating is set, no Review schema is output at all — this plugin never fabricates a rating just to make structured data "work," since fake review markup is exactly what search engines penalize.
