What are Rich Snippets?
Normally, when your website shows up in the search results, it contains basic information about your website like the page title, URL, and a meta description. With Rich Snippets, you can enhance that search engine presence with rich results. Google supports many types of Structured Data, and some of the examples would be results with a star rating, results with images, results with additional links, and many more.
Appearing in rich results also means that your website stands out in the search results, which leads to better click-through rates and more traffic.
What is Schema Markup (aka Structured Data)?
Search engines are getting better at understanding language, but they are far from perfect. To help search engines understand the content better, a micro-data standard was developed. The premise behind the standard is that by providing search engines additional data about the page in a structured manner, search engines can understand the content of the page better, and hence can rank those pages better in the search results. Many ways have been created to add this micro-data to pages, and Schema Markup is one of the most important ones. So, in essence, Schema Markup is what leads to rich results or rich snippets.
Where to Add Schema Markup?
Schema is meta-data, which means data-about-data. In this case, the data we’re talking about is your page content, and this Schema is additional data about your page content.
Schema is usually added to the page header, but if you use the Schema Markup Plugin, you’ll be able to add Schema micro-data to your posts right inside WordPress, while you’re creating your post.
What Does Rich Snippets Do?
When the appropriate Schema is added to your website and posts, Google and other search engines understand your website better, which ultimately leads to rich snippets.
Rich Snippets do a lot of things for your website. They are visually appealing and are a sign of trust. That means that your website automatically looks authoritative and trustworthy when it appears as a rich snippet. Since rich snippets are also visually appealing, they stand out in the search results, which increases the likelihood that users will choose your website over the competition. This improves your click-through rate and ultimately your rankings.
We’ve developed the Schema Markup Plugin so that you can take advantage of appearing as rich snippets in the search results without dealing with a mess of code. We’ve made it incredibly simple for anyone to add the appropriate micro-data to their pages—regardless of what your page is about. Here is a list of all the micro-data supported by the Schema Markup Plugin.
