    Is there a way to add in the rich snippets into the theme so the star reviews will appear in Google search results like Yelp or Citysearch, etc.? It seems like a small tweak to add it in.

    Roger,

    Thank you for your information, but I am not sure why everyone is missing the question. I was wondering if the programmers (not us) could add int he structured data so that the start ratings within a GeoCraft listing could be picked up in Google search results. All I want to do is see the starts that appear in my directory to appear in search results. Does that make sense? I was hoping that the programmers could look into this as it would be a huge value.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    I agree. I provided the links for authors to review and understand the importance of what you are asking them to do. I am in full agreement with you. This is much needed.

    Roger - thank you for the clarification. I have no idea why more people are not interested in this as it would make their directories worth a lot more to their clients/customers.

    I am hoping they come back to this thread and put a response in and/or provide a time frame when this could be implemented. Also, would love to hear if anyone else wants to see this implemented - if so please leave a response so the developers can see that it is more than Roger and I who would like this feature.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    @Nitesh: are you going to modify the theme code so it includes the correct data structure for Google's Rich Snippette?

    When can we expect the micro data to be added?
