Broker Categories and Tags
You can assign broker categories and tags to brokers. You do that the same way you'd do it for regular posts. You can also manage your broker categories and broker tags by visiting their corresponding pages under the "Brokers" menu item.
Review Snippet
For all your broker review pages, FXT generates Review Snippet Structured Data (schema.org) markup. The rating value used is the "Overall Rating" field from the Ratings tab. It is generated automatically, so you don't need to do anything; however, you can turn it off if desired. You can test your pages here.
