    Hello,
    I am using the Rehub theme to run an affiliate/reviews website.
    The rehub theme builds advanced and customized reviews templates but on woocomerce products, not typical posts.

    When I run Rank Math, I am allowed to choose from multiple supported schemas for the posts or any custom post type including the review schema.
    But rank math only adds the product schema to the woocommerce products. and I am only allowed to turn this feature on and off.

    Is there a turn around to allow rank math to attach the review schema to woocomerce products. That would be great.

    Hello,

    Rank Math only adds the review schema to your pages(visible on SERP) not the actual reviews. Review fields are taken from your actual product reviews that your buyers/customers leave on your products.

    If you don’t have any reviews yet, that is going to show up as a warning in the schema testing tool. That’s because Google will actually look for those fields. To add reviews, you can use a plugin such as WP Review.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello, again.
    Thank you for the fast reply.

    The answer you provided is clear and it may apply to any theme, but not rehub.
    Here is why.
    Rehub is building reviews on woocommerce products not on the standard post type.

    If I am running a woocomerce store and selling products, the current rank math configurations would be fine.
    But I am only providing affiliate reviews with external affiliate links with no actual products.

    In other words, with the current configuration google would read the “product schema” from my reviews and it would successfully extract the rating score and the aggregated rating would be extracted well.
    But since it is a product schema, google still expects to get value for “availability” and “Validuntil” and “SKU” and so on.
    I am writing hosting reviews and it feels really weird when my hosting review appears on google with the word “in stock” attached to it.

    If I was able to attach the review schema to products instead of product schema I would be able to provide more complete schema without having to provide values for “current offer”, “validuntil”, “SKU”, or “stock availability”. ( i am currently providing review schema using an external plugin (structured data for wp and AMP) but the product schema is still there and still the one Google chooses.

    Hello,

    I am sorry since Google doesn’t support anymore the review schema so we don’t implement it anymore on Rank Math.

    I understand the issue with the Product schema so I could suggest you to try the Service schema or if you need the ratings, the Software Application schema. In the Software Application schema, you can add rating and you don’t add stock so I think you could make it fit your product.

    Looking forward to help you.

    I am a bit confused. Google still supports the review schema!
    It removed self-ratings from many schemas but it certainly still supporting Review schema.
    I may have misunderstood you, but this is an article that supports my claim:

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    As far as Review schema is concerned you can no longer use it as standalone, you have to have a review of something.

    Since you have a plugin generating your review schema, you can navigate to Rank math > Dashboard and disable Rank math Schema module.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
