Display 1st- and 3rd-party Reviews

1st-party reviews are marked up with review Schema to improve SEO and help you get stars in search results.
Total Review Count and Average Rating displayed is for 1st-party reviews only due to Google’s schema guidelines

Only 3rd-party reviews, from the sites you are monitoring in your account, display in the Review Widget.
This version does NOT include review schema. To be compliant with Google’s guidelines for schema, you can’t apply schema to 3rd-party reviews. Doing so would result in duplicate content as they are already marked-up on the sites they originated from.
