Winning the Click: A Product & Review Schema Strategy
Client: A mid-sized e-commerce store in the “Home & Kitchen” niche.
Challenges We Faced
The client was ranking on page one for many products but was getting almost no clicks, a key structured data implementation failure:
Good Rankings, Low Clicks (CTR)
Ranking #3-5 for many products but had a <2% CTR.
No Rich Snippets
Competitors had 5-star ratings, pricing, and “in stock” info in the SERPs; our client’s listings were “plain.”
Missing Product Schema
A Full Schema Markup Audit found no structured data on their product pages.
No Review & AggregateRating Schema
They had thousands of product reviews, but their theme wasn’t marking them up for Google.
Unoptimized Product Images
Product images weren’t tagged or sized for SEO, reducing click-throughs from Google Image and SERP results.
Get More Clicks (with Stars)
“Want your 5-star ratings to show up in Google? Our Product & E-commerce Schema service will make your listings stand out and boost your CTR.”
Our Approach – How We Solved These Challenges
Comprehensive Schema Audit
We used Google Search Console to find their highest-impression, lowest-CTR “loser” pages.
Product & E-commerce Schema
This was the key. Our schema markup implementation company implemented Product, AggregateRating (for their 5-star reviews), and Offer (for price/availability) schema.
JSON-LD Implementation
We wrote clean, error-free JSON-LD code for their product page templates to ensure 100% coverage.
Validation & Testing
We validated every new code snippet using Google’s Rich Results Test and the Schema.org Validator to ensure it was error-free before deployment.
Results
| Metric | Before | After | Growth |
