I have been building a large recipe section to a site I’m working on and a lot of recipe sites I have researched have a rating/review/comments box at the bottom of each recipe. It seems that it’s a requirement for Google to show a recipe in the ‘recipe’ specific listings in google search, which all have ratings.
I have only found ‘intensedebate.com’ but this seems to be only for comments. It would be handy to have something people can rate the recipe or drop a review.
Disqus is the obvious go to but I don’t want to pay for it if possible and apparently it inserts ads.
I just found a little beauty of a solution: widgetpack.com
Just what I was after. UPDATE Since using this solution they have disappeared and so has their website. I think it broke and they thought it would be easier to just shut the doors on it.
I have found Powr.io which looks like it hits the mark on rating and comments but it doesn’t have review schema and is pricey for what it is.
Hey! So, I tried to use this for my CMS items and if someone had rated it, it would put the same rating on every single page. Same goes for comments. Did you find a work-around for this?
Hey . In case anyone is still looking for a solution, I just shared a tutorial for enabling reviews on a food recipe blog:
The Supersparks reviews app is customizable in the Webflow Designer and makes it easy to sync aggregate rating data into the CMS for creating a custom schema .
