One of the most important things for a review site owner is to provide useful and detailed information about a product to its readers. However, as a review site owner, you also need to focus on increasing your reach to a new audience; and a rich snippet can help you achieve this.
In case you didn’t know, gaining a rich snippet is one of the best ways to improve visibility and higher clickthrough rates for your editorial reviews, and to accomplish this, Schema markup is the only way.
If not, take advantage of Rank Math PRO now and get huge traffic exposure by adding the pros and cons Schema that entices visitors to visit your website.

1 What Is Pros and Cons Structured Data?
Pros and Cons of a product is a popular way to help readers decide whether to buy. As of now, Google has added pros and cons structured data support for editorial reviews.
These snippets are eligible for the following languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish.
This structured data is for editorial product review pages only, not for user-generated reviews and merchant product reviews.
2 Why Should You Add the Pros and Cons Structured Data?
Adding pros and cons helps your editorial review pages with all the enhancements in SERPs and might rank higher in the long run.
As we know, rich snippets open up great opportunities to attract new readers for better search visibility, and the pros and cons information regarding a specific product always help the readers in their purchasing decision.
If you don’t provide the pros and cons structured data, then Google might try to generate useful information automatically. However, priority is given to the pages that add the pros and cons structured data.
