Question

I was just wondering if someone could help me with some microdata. This is what I’m working with:

I’m making a site where they review other sites. So a review is an article. Each review/article contains a name and text and also ratings. There’s two ratings, one that the site/author made and one by the visitors. The rating is between 1-10.

This is what I’ve done so far (I’m using schema.org):

The body is a WebPage. Then I have a content area that is a Review. The review contains a name/title and the review itself (reviewBody).

Then I have the ratings. I said that there’s the author rating and the visitor rating. So I’ve made those as a AggregateRating. Like this:

<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
    <meta itemprop="worstRating" content="1">
    <meta itemprop="bestRating" content="10">
    <strong itemprop="ratingValue">8.33</strong>
    <span>by "the site"</span>
</div>

So my question is: Is this the right thing to do? Is this even an actual rating? How would you do it?

Also, when checking my example page with Google’s structured data tool the data is defined as I was expecting but I don’t get the nice looking rich snippet, the one with the stars.

You missed revewCount property of the aggregateRating.

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">
  <div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
    <meta itemprop="worstRating" content="1">
    <meta itemprop="bestRating" content="10">
    <meta itemprop="reviewCount" content="20">
    <strong itemprop="ratingValue">8.33</strong>
    <span>by "the site"</span>
  </div>
</div>

This markup should work fine. Checked it with the Google’s structured data tool.
