Answer 1

So, do you think a site using YOTPO for reviews will be getting dinged for this? I mean, I have a review block below each of my products, but not all products have reviews. Could this or even a floating contact form be hurting me?

I'm not sure I understand the mark up issues within the rich snippets.
