Recently a dear friend Hesham Zebida, and a brilliant software and website developer, informed me that he was in the process of recently updating some new features to his already successful plugins, Pro Author hReview, called the WordPress Reviews Plugin.
So what’s the big deal about about this plugin? One of the benefits of this plugin is that it adds Rich Snippets for reviews and rating to author/editor reviews which helps you increase search traffic by making SERP results more eye-catching! With there being more competition than ever, we need all the help we can get don’t you think?
Secondly, it adds another interactive feature to your website — a feature Hesham oddly does not make note of (unless I missed it), which I feel is a definite plus! And that is that it can potentially decrease bounce rates. That is, it increases the time site visitors stay on your site. This has SEO advantages as well as increases the chances for those visitors to become leads for your business.
Here’s a video explaining Rich Snippets:
I’m not going to go into all the nitty-gritty details of this plugin as you can do so get more information by visiting the WordPress Reviews Plugin landing page. Instead I’m going to do something a bit different; I’m going to walk you through the process of installing the plugin and show you how you can use it.

My only additional note is that you’ll have to resize your image prior to uploading it to use it with the plugin, otherwise the image may come out fuzzy. Would be nice if we can resize this after uploading. We’ll just wait and see.
