Feedspace widgets can display individual star ratings on each review card. Whether you can also show a single aggregate average rating (such as “4.8 out of 5 based on 127 reviews”) depends on the widget type and the design settings available for that type.
This question comes up when a business wants their embedded widget to act like a trust badge, showing the overall rating at a glance before a visitor reads individual reviews.
The Show Review Ratings toggle in the widget design settings controls whether a star rating appears on each review card inside the widget. This setting is available for all widget types.
The Avatar With Star widget type has an additional star display setting. When you create or edit this widget type, the Show Star Ratings toggle in the design settings expands to include a Star Count input and a Review Text input, letting you control how the rating summary appears alongside the reviewer’s avatar.
If you want an aggregate star rating to appear directly in Google search results as a rich snippet, Feedspace has a built-in SEO rich snippet feature. This generates structured data markup that you embed on your website, and Google can use it to show your overall rating in search listings. This is separate from the widget itself.
To set it up, go to Settings in the left sidebar, click SEO, and then click Generate to create your rich snippet embed code.
After enabling star ratings on your widget, preview it on your website to confirm the ratings display as expected. You can filter the reviews shown in the widget to include only those above a certain star rating, so the displayed reviews are consistently strong. Use the Select Reviews tab filter options or the Automate Review Selection feature with a star rating filter to control which reviews appear.
Yes. You can filter the reviews shown in your widget by star rating. Use the filter options in the Select Reviews tab of the widget editor, or use the Automate Review Selection feature with a star rating filter to automatically include only 5-star reviews. See the 5-star widget filter article for the exact steps.
The SEO rich snippet is structured data you add to your website’s code. It tells Google your aggregate rating so it can appear in search results. The widget is an embeddable component you place on a page that displays individual reviews visually. They serve different purposes and can be used together.
In the left sidebar, click Settings under the Workspace section, then click SEO in the settings navigation. The SEO page lets you generate a rich snippet widget and copy the embed code. See the SEO rich snippets article for full steps.
