But do you understand how to use rich snippets to improve your Google search results \u2013 or what rich snippets even are? Rich snippets can be anything from your star rating, images, or additional information used to entice Internet users to click on your link. We&#8217;ll go into more detail about rich snippets further down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure we provide the best advice possible, we asked professional web designer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/woww.co.za\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Felix Norton<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to share a few expert tips. After reading this article, you should have no problem applying these tips to your own website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are rich snippets?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rich snippets (or rich results) are normal Google search results that display additional information. This extra data is usually pulled from structured data found in a webpage\u2019s HTML (the code). Common rich snippet results include reviews, products, recipes, pricing, locations and events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a normal result:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8332 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image3.png\" alt=\"search result\" width=\"675\" height=\"137\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this is a rich result \u2013 see the additional information listed below?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image1.png\" alt=\"rich snippet\" width=\"638\" height=\"127\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the difference between a rich snippet and a featured snippet?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common confusion is the difference between a rich snippet and a featured snippet. A rich snippet is an organic search result with more information \u2013 location, pricing, ratings and reviews. A featured snippet is the answer to a question, and it appears before the organic search results in what is known as \u2018position zero\u2019. The font size is bigger and it is clearly superior to all the other search results. Google has chosen it as the best available answer to your question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your content to appear as a featured snippet, it has to be much better than any other potential answer to the question. It can appear as a paragraph, a list or a table. Featured snippets are a good goal, but the first step is to master rich snippets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8335 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image2.png\" alt=\"featured snippet\" width=\"709\" height=\"514\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should you care about rich snippets?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rich snippets look different from normal search results. The additional information stands out from other searches and can potentially increase your click-through rate. This can help your business stand out from your competitors and get more traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google is also more likely to rank a rich result higher than a normal result, which also increases the likelihood of your site being clicked on first. It won\u2019t boost your site to the top of the search page, but it will make it a more attractive option to click on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can you do to feature rich snippets more often?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Google can sometimes generate rich snippets automatically, it\u2019s more likely to reward your site with a rich snippet if you provide the Googlebot with best practice <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schema markup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your webpage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use a CMS like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/wordpress-hosting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/5-essential-plugins-for-wordpress-users\/?loggedin=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plugin like Yoast<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to add schema markup into your website automatically.
