What is a rich snippet?
A rich snippet is a search result that displays enhanced information beyond the standard title, URL and description — star ratings, prices, review counts, FAQ questions, recipe images or event details. It is generated from structured data on your page.
Why rich snippets matter
Rich results stand out visually, draw more clicks and establish credibility before the click. Higher CTR from rich snippets can compound into better rankings and more traffic.
How to earn rich snippets
- Implement schema markup with JSON-LD.
- Use the correct types: Review, Product, FAQ, Event, Recipe.
- Validate markup with Google’s Rich Results Test.
- Ensure content matches the markup (no false data).
Rich snippets and GEO
Structured data feeds both rich results and AI understanding — the same markup helps AI engines cite your page accurately.
