Testimonials and search engines
Testimonials don’t add review structured data. Google doesn’t show stars for reviews a store publishes about itself. For stars in search, use a reviews app that saves product ratings to Shopify’s standard metafields. See SEO and AI search.
Common questions
How do I add customer reviews to my Shopify home page with Ignite?
Add the Testimonials/reviews section and add a Card block for each review, with the star rating, text and author.
Do testimonials show star ratings in Google?
No. Google doesn’t show stars for reviews a store publishes about itself. Product ratings from your reviews app can appear in search through Ignite’s product structured data.
