Search Console Now Has a Review Snippets Report

When Google finds valid reviews or ratings markup, they may show a rich result that includes stars and other summary info. This rich result can appear directly on search results or as part of a Google Knowledge panel. Today they announced support for review snippets in Google Search Console, including new reports to help you find any issues with your implementation and monitor how this rich result type is improving your performance. The report allows you to see errors, warnings, and valid pages for markup implemented on your site.In addition, if you fix an issue, you can use the report to validate it, which will trigger a process where Google recrawls your affected pages. The report is covering all the content types currently supported as review snippets like Book, Movie, Event, Product, etc.

The Search Console Performance report now allows you to see the performance of your review or rating marked-up pages on Google Search and Discover using the new Review snippet filter. So you can check the impressions, clicks and CTR results of your review snippet pages and check their performance to understand how they are trending for any of the dimensions available.

They have also started sending out email notifications when sites in your Seach Console have issues with Review Snippets, one new thing about these emails is that doesn’t clog up inboxes with individual notifications per account but instead it’s one email with links to all the accounts that have issues with the markup.
