What is a Rich Snippet?
A snippet is a result Google shows to the user in the search results.
An example: I was searching for a good recipe for homemade ice cream and googled it. Google showed me a results list with normal snippets and rich snippets — or rich results as they are now called.
A normal snippet usually looks like this:
This is a simple, run of the mill snippet in Google.
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.
Why are Rich Results Important in SEO?
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.
You’ll know whether other people liked the homemade ice cream and how long it’ll take you to make it.
How Do You Get Rich Snippets?
Google can show rich results or snippets if you add structured data to your site.
