Stars Rating

About Stars Rating

This plugin allows you to turn comments on your posts, pages, and custom post types into reviews. It offers features such as choosing which post types to enable the stars rating feature on, requiring rating selection to leave a review, displaying stars rating in Google search results, and more. It also includes enhanced SEO with structured data for standout reviews in Google and a "Negative Rating Alert" feature to resolve issues before reviews are posted.
