Do I need reviews?
For star display, yes. Fake ratings = manual action.
Which plugin?
WP Recipe Maker for pure recipe sites. RankMath/WBP for mixed content.
Can I use WBP without the WPB suite?
Yes — WBP is a standalone SEO plugin; the WPB integration unlocks the scale workflow but is optional.
Can I re-run onboarding later?
Yes — Onboarding is a persistent module you can rerun after site changes, and each run keeps a history.
