What is the We ♥ Reviews Drupal 7 Module about?
After installing the module on a Drupal site, Google displays the star rating on ALL the website inner-pages (not on the main URL) in the search results. For an example, click here.
Marketing studies have proved that a website with stars displayed in search results, leads to over 30% more clicks when compared against a website without stars and no reputation. You can easily imagine how powerful the Drupal 7 module is when used in conjunction with We ♥ Reviews!
The Module NOT ONLY UPDATES the overall rating value and the total number of reviews as gathered through the ReputationCRM.com API, it ALSO ADDS your schema.org LocalBusiness contact information into the markup to the head section of each page of a Drupal website in JSON/LD format, which improves search engine rankings.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Use the Check Overall Rating button to display the current Overall Reputation values. If you are not getting an answer from the API after a few seconds, please double check your API Key and Company / Location ID.
Don't forget that we only count platform collected reviews (as per Google recommendation on marking reviews in Rich Snippets), so if the API sends back 0 values, this is most likely because the company has not yet collected feedback on the platform.
