AggregateRating (via review app)

Apps like Judge.me and Yotpo inject AggregateRating schema. Verify the schema is valid using Google's Rich Results Test.

Required Properties
  • ratingValue
  • reviewCount

BreadcrumbList

Not always auto-generated by Shopify themes. May need manual addition for collection → product hierarchy.

    Schema Markup Mistakes Shopify Stores Make

    ✗

    Assuming Shopify auto-generates valid schema (always verify with Rich Results Test)

    ✗

    Installing multiple review apps that both inject conflicting schema

    ✗

    Not checking if your theme's canonical tag conflicts with collection product URLs

    ✗

    Using a free theme with minimal schema support for a high-volume store

    ✗

    Not validating schema after a theme update (updates can break schema output)
