Includes a 5 Star Rating in Schema markup:

If the Schema type in the Document SSO metabox is not one of these types (or one of their sub-types), then a 5 star rating cannot be added, as doing so would trigger an error in the Google search console. See Google's Review snippet documentation for additional information.
