Google announced^[1] new reports within Google Search Console^[2] to help you with your review snippets. Google added a new enhancements report, a new performance report and added new support for review snippets on the rich result testing tool^[3].

Rich snippet enhancement report. The new rich snippet Enhancement report is available for those sites who have implemented reviews or ratings structured data^[4].

Why we care. If your site implements reviews on its pages, these tools can open up a lot of information on how well those pages are performing in the Performance report. It can also help you debug issues with pages not yet showing the reviews in the search results.
