ratingCount Schema and Google Snippets

    I have noticed that WooCommerce is generating Product Schema, but I have noticed that it is generating both the ratingCount & reviewCount. Is there a way to only have reviewCount generated?

    I ask, because I believe that having both is making Google to use the term ‘votes’ instead of ‘reviews’ in search results snippets. I think it would be better to have ‘reviews’ here, as we are talking about product reviews.

    Here is an example…

    I think I should be near the top of the results… and you can see that it says ‘7 votes’. I would like it to say ‘7 reviews’.

    Is there a way to alter the schema generated?

    Cheers

    From what I can see, it says 7 Reviews:

    Hi Dustin,

    As mentioned in the Github discussion, I wrote a filter to remove the ratcingCount. After doing that the snippets began showing ‘reviews’ instead of ‘votes’ again.

    In case any else comes here via a Google search, this is the filter I wrote…

    function filterSchema($markup){
	unset($markup['aggregateRating']['ratingCount']);
	return $markup;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_structured_data_product','filterSchema');

    Cheers
