SEO rich snippets — schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD — are injected automatically, making your WordPress pages eligible for star ratings in Google search results.

Does BlooTrue work on WordPress.com?
Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org, the 95% case) supports the widget fully. On WordPress.com, the Business tier or higher supports custom HTML and works. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security, so the widget will not render there.
