FAQs
What should I do if the structured data is not picked by search result pages?
Please have patience as we have no control over how google or any search engine indexes your pages. It might take some days or even weeks for the robots to crawl the ratings.
I have been using a verion of this plugin prior to v3. Is it safe for me to update?
All previous ratings and options will be preserved. However, since v3 has been renewed from scratch, we do not support downgrading to v2 after upgrading to v3.
