- Thread starter gorillaz
- Start date
I recently purchased the Google Rich Snippets v1.7.6 module for my online store, and it has been a game-changer for my SEO efforts! The module is incredibly easy to install and configure, even for someone with minimal technical expertise.
We adapted the module to comply with the new regulation against fake reviews in e-commerce, (DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/2161″).
The module now includes a “DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/2161 COMPLIANCE” option that will act in the following ways:
The module sends opinion requests only to customers who have placed an order to avoid invented opinions. In addition, opinions can be displayed in the front office of your store and in the product sheets. Users have to be connected to their customer account in order to write a comment.
- The options included in the administration panel for importing reviews, editing or inserting are blocked.
- The inclusion of ratings and reviews is limited to customers who have placed full orders and only for the products included in their order and in general about the shop.
- Any registered reviews included that do not meet the requirements are no longer displayed publicly and their ratings are discarded
- A notice is publicly displayed in the review blocks that the reviews comply with DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/2161
The module allows you to display a widget for the opinions of your store and you can choose from 105 designs for the widget (7 different models available in 15 colors) and you can easily place the block:
- on the side of the screen (6 positions: top left, center left, bottom left, top right, center right or bottom right)
- in your columns or footer (hook displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn or displayFooter) and easily move it via LiveEdit

Pros:
- Improved Visibility: Since implementing this module, my products have gained better visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs). The rich snippets with star ratings and reviews make my listings stand out.
- User-Friendly: The interface is intuitive, and the documentation provided is very helpful. I was able to get everything up and running without any major issues.
- Positive Impact on Traffic: I've noticed a significant increase in organic traffic since adding the rich snippets. Customers seem to trust the ratings and reviews more when they see them directly in the search results.
- Support: The support team is responsive and knowledgeable. They helped me troubleshoot a few minor issues I encountered during the setup.
- Learning Curve: While the module is user-friendly, there is a bit of a learning curve to understand how to best utilize all the features and optimize the rich snippets for maximum impact.
