Coffee Bean Canada review for Product Reviews

Dec. 28, 2019

This app fundamentally fails to provide product review schema that can be read by search engines, and used to create enhanced SERP listings. Reviews should not be loaded via javascript - they are not being picked up by search engines. Anybody can verify this by going to Google Search Console and looking at the "enhancements" section, or plugging it into Google's Structured Data testing tool. These are basic, key components to every e-commerce store and there's no excuse for the poorly-though out way this was implemented. Shopify is actively hurting their customers, and thereby their own revenues by not fixing these ecom-101 issues. It also shouldn't be overriding the theme's font sizing with its own uncustomizable stylesheet. Updated - Issues: 1) default font size is 13px - this is too small for mobile devices 2) review title - this is unnecessary, and not a part of the review schema: https://schema.org/Review 3) .spr-review-header applies opacity: 0.5; - this fails accessibility standards 4) reviews are loaded via javascript, when they should be embedded directly into the page content - this causes them not to be picked up by Google schema (noted above) 5) limited configuration options, as well as zero access to actual code - this should be a basic, fully customizable liquid snippet 6) flag as inappropriate feature - completely unnecessary for reviews that are manually vetted by shop owner 7) Uses OUTDATED embedded schema for aggregate rating, which has been replaced by JSON-LD. Overall, the actual review CONTENT (what the reader wants) is given a backseat to a bunch of garbage review meta information, which dominates the majority of the display. The entire review app needs to be rebuilt from the ground up by someone who knows what they're doing.
