How to create a beautiful review using WP Review Pro

Building a review website is a fairly common form of website building for affiliate marketing .

Reviews are the way to help you target buyer keywords, the keywords for the best conversions.

Because the people who come to your website using this keyword are the people who have a real need to buy.

And they need more reviews before deciding to spend money on the product.

There are many factors that contribute to a successful review. In which the interface of the review is one of those factors.

In this post, I want to share a plugin that makes it easy to build a professional product review website. The plugin that I want to mention is WP Review Pro.

Introducing WP Review Pro

WP Review Pro is a paid plugin from MyThemeShop that helps you create a professional review website.

Like other MyThemeShop paid plugins this one costs $29 (promotional price after you sign up for a free account here). Or you can refer to the article MyThemeShop Coupon to buy the plugin for only $19. 

However, MyThemeShop also has a free version with less functionality for you to experience this great plugin.

The biggest benefit that this plugin brings is:

Some outstanding features of WP Review

1. Support multiple rating systems

Specifically, WP Review has 4 rating systems

Percentage system

Star-type system

Point type system

Circle type system

2. Allow users to review reviews

A good review plugin must allow users to interact with the article to give a review. Thus, the review will be more attractive to users and more objective. This also contributes to increased reader-to-customer conversion rates.

For WP Review, users can rate through 2 forms:

Direct interaction with the rating system aka Visitor Rating Only. For example, users can choose how many stars to rate as below.

Another way, users can rate through posting comments. With this form, they can give a more specific assessment than just choosing the rating score.

3. Create Rich Snippets in Search Results

Wp Review will generate rich snippets in search results so your reviews stand out in search results. This will help you get more traffic from the search engines as well as the opportunity to improve your rankings in the search results as I mentioned above.

4. Show reviews on thumbnails

Another powerful feature of WP Review is that the review will show up right on the post thumbnail. Thus, the review will become prominent in your website.

5. Display custom review box position with shortcode

WP Review supports shortcodes that allow the review box to be displayed anywhere you want.

Instructions for using WP Revew Pro

One downside I’ve noticed with MyThemeShop plugins is the documentation issue. All plugins come without documentation. This makes it more or less difficult for users.

The WP Review plugin is no exception. The current document has only this video:
