Missing field “itemReviewed”

Hi @macpheek

The error message you’re seeing in Google Search Console, “Missing field ‘itemReviewed'”, is typically related to the structured data of your website. Google uses this data to understand the content on your site, so it’s important to ensure that it’s correct.

In WooCommerce, structured data is usually automatically added automatically by the theme or plugins you use. If you see this error, it may mean that the theme or plugin you’re using for your reviews is not adding the ‘itemReviewed’ field to the structured data.

To fix this issue, you can follow these steps:

• Ensure you’re using your theme’s latest version or review plugin. If an update is available, install it and check if the error is resolved.
• If updating your theme or review plugin doesn’t resolve the issue, you might consider using a plugin that specifically helps with structured data. There are several available in the WordPress plugin directory.

After implementing these changes, you can use the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to validate your structured data. Once the tool confirms that the “itemReviewed” field exists, you can ask Google to re-crawl your site through the Google Search Console.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

hi, thanks for your reply and I appreciate your help. I’m not using any additional plugin to handle the reviews, it’s all done via woocommerce :-S

Hi @macpheek

Since you’re not using any additional plugins for reviews and it’s all handled via WooCommerce, it’s possible that your theme might not be fully compatible with WooCommerce’s way of handling structured data.

Here are a few steps you can take:

1. Check if your theme is WooCommerce compatible. If it’s not, consider switching to a theme that is.
2. Update your WooCommerce plugin to the latest version if you haven’t already.
3. Try temporarily switching to a default theme like Storefront to see if the issue persists. If the issue is resolved, it’s likely a problem with your current theme.

If the issue persists, you might want to consider using a dedicated structured data plugin. These plugins are designed to ensure your site’s structured data is correctly formatted and complete.

After making these changes, don’t forget to re-validate your structured data with Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool and ask Google to re-crawl your site via the Google Search Console.

Please let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance. We’re here to help!

I am getting the same error, as this person mentioned, we are using WooCommerce review plugin. I think this should be looked at by WooCommerce so it’s compliant with Googles snippets. The problem is categorized as “*Critical issues prevent your page or feature from appearing in Search results.”

Can WooCommerce look into adding the field “itemReviewed” to your snippets structure of the reviews?
