What are Rich Snippets and how can they affect SEO Rankings?

[neelseowork]

Rich snippets are search results that go beyond the basics. They are, by definition, a richer result than the ordinary. Using structured data markup added to your site HTML, you provide the search engines more information to better understand the content and intent of each page.

Rich snippets are additional pieces of information that the search engine is able to identify on the page, used to enhance the searcher's understanding of the value of that page. Ratings, pricing, and availability are commonly seen in ecommerce rich snippets.

Hi Friends,
Rich Snippets (also known as “Rich Results”) are normal Google search results with additional data displayed. This extra data is usually pulled from Structured Data found in a page's HTML. Common Rich Snippet types include reviews, recipes and events.

Rich snippets don't (directly) affect your rankings
However, while structured data markup for rich snippets does not work as a ranking signal, it can generate indirect SEO benefits by making your page more easily indexable and providing more accurate and targeted metadata.
