3 Review Location
This option lets you know where the information for the Schema should be added. You can add it above the content, below the content, or both above and below the content. You can also use the shortcode and choose a custom location.

If you chose the shortcode option in the above setting, then you should paste the shortcode from this field into your post where you want the review to be displayed.
5 Date Created

And, that’s it! Once you’ve finished adding all of the details regarding the movie this post or page is about in their respective fields in Rank Math’s Schema Builder, simply click on Save for this Post.
Then, simply save the page as you normally would after making a change or click Publish (if this is a newly created post/page).
