What is a Rich Snippet?
A snippet is a result Google shows to the user in the search results.

A normal snippet usually looks like this:

Google shows the title in blue, the URL in black and a description of what the page is about. This is what we call the snippet, the thing Yoast SEO helps you to optimize with our snippet preview.

Rich results or snippets stand out from the other snippets.
They look much nicer and you’ll instantly know more, just by looking at them.
