Review Snippet Structured Data Gets New Update from Google

Google recently updated the Review Snippet Structured Data tool, which affects how we write numbers within the structured data code for reviews. The tool recommends one form of writing decimals over another globally popular method, namely, dots, to specify decimals instead of commas. The change, however, has yet to be mandated by Google. The review snippet structured data is relevant for websites featuring product reviews. A valid markup and reviews can result in a rich snippet with stars and a summary of the review or a Knowledge Panel. It included stars and a snippet of the review from the customer. The change will affect featured topics like movies, recipes, books, products, events, apps, etc., that display ratings and reviews. The switch intends to standardize data and make things easier for search engines.
