How do I add a review with a rating to a story?

In this story

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features. The page is called Features.
  2. Find Review box under For your site. If it is not there, open Other niches. Tap Switch on (or Show in my admin). When it shows On, it is ready.
  3. If it shows Needs and a plan name, your plan does not include it yet. See Choose a plan.
  4. Open the story in the editor.
  5. In the Trust panel, set the story label to Review.
  6. In the Extra details for Google (FAQ, steps, review) panel, set Type to Review.
  7. Fill in What is being reviewed, Kind of item, Your rating, and the optional Good points, Weak points and One-line verdict.
  8. Save the story.

Good to know

  • The panel tells you if the label does not match: "A review or fact-check only works when the story label is Review."
  • Only the site owner can switch features on. Others see: "Only the owner can add features. Ask the owner to switch one on."

Common problems

The review box is saved but readers do not see it. Why: The story label is not Review. Fix: Change the label in the Trust panel and save.

I cannot find Review box in my admin. Why: The feature is off or not yet installed. Fix: Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features and tap Switch on or Show in my admin. If a screen says "This feature is switched off. The owner can switch it on in Features.", ask the owner.
