Bug Report: Book Schema Implementation Broken (No Review Option)

    Rank Math free

    I attempted to use the Book schema on my site (https://dark2light.me/dark2light-book/) using Rank Math’s built-in options.

    However, the only way to output schema is by inserting a [rank_math_rich_snippet] shortcode or setting the display to above/below content. Both options inject visible frontend markup—which breaks layout and design.

    There is no option to disable reviews, which forces me to add unnecessary and unwanted content just to make the schema valid. This feels counter to how schema should work—especially when I just want to signal to Google that this is a downloadable book, not a review post.

    In the end, I had to revert back to the Article schema just to get valid structured data without front-end bloat.

    Please consider:

    Adding a “No Review” toggle
    Allowing schema-only output with no visual content injection
    Improving the Book schema experience so it works like other types (e.g., Article, BlogPosting)

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Book Schema implementation in Rank Math. Thank you for raising this concern and providing detailed feedback regarding the review option and the output methods.

    Currently, the Book Schema does require certain fields to be filled out, including the review options, which can indeed lead to unwanted content being displayed on the front end. We understand how this can be frustrating, especially when you want to use the schema solely for signaling to Google without affecting your site’s layout.

    Your suggestions for a "No Review" toggle and allowing schema-only output without visual content injection are valuable. We appreciate your input as it helps us improve our plugin and user experience.

    In the meantime, if you have any further questions or need assistance with your current setup, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will take over and assist you further. If you could also include any specific details about your site setup or any other issues you’re encountering, that would be helpful.

    Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resolving this for you!
