问题
I am implementing structured data into an app with the AggregateRating markup. The problem is that when 0 ratings are present the rating value is empty. I get the following error when using Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
Field ratingValue may not be empty.
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
<meta itemprop="reviewCount" content="0">
<meta itemprop="ratingValue" content="">
...
</div>
The app uses the default 1 to 5 rating scale.
Is there a default value that complies with Schema.org that can be passed to when the ratingValue is empty? I don't want to pass it an arbitrary number on the scale just to avoid the error...
回答1:
The Google Structured Data Testing Tool error you quote is misleading. It’s not an error with your use of Schema.org or Microdata.
Instead it just means that Google probably won’t consider displaying their Aggregate Ratings Rich Snippet for your document in Google Search (naturally, because a rating value would be required for this).
However, providing the empty string as value for the ratingValue property doesn’t really make sense here. So why not simply omit the property? And ideally you would omit the aggregateRating property with the AggregateRating altogether if you don’t have any reviews yet.
