Rich results

Rich results are enhanced Google result presentations for supported content types.

Content and machine-readable context

Visible content → Matching structured data → Search engine context
Structured data describes real content. Valid markup does not guarantee a rich result.
Text version
  • Visible content
  • Matching structured data
  • Search engine context

How it works

Follow requirements for the specific type and mark up only visible accurate facts.

Example

Example: A product page supplies actual price and availability when eligible.

Common mistakes

Eligibility does not guarantee a special display format.

How can you check this in practice?

Choose the specific Google feature and inspect its requirements rather than all Schema.org properties. Rich Results Test checks technical eligibility for supported types. After publication, monitor relevant Search Console reports when available for the site.

Distinctions and limitations

Valid structured descriptions do not guarantee special presentation. Google can show an ordinary result depending on query and conditions. Do not add invisible ratings, fabricated FAQs or false authors merely for more markup.
