Rich Result

Enhanced SERP listing with stars, images, or carousels.

Rich results are Google search results that display additional visual elements beyond a standard title, URL, and description. They are powered by structured data (schema markup) implemented on the page.

Common rich result types include review stars, product prices and availability, FAQ dropdowns, How-To steps, event dates and locations, recipe details, and breadcrumb paths. Rich results improve click-through rates by making listings more visually prominent and informative.

Google's Rich Results Test tool validates whether a page's structured data qualifies for rich result features. Not all correctly implemented schema will display as rich results — Google reserves the right to show them selectively based on quality signals.

Example

A product page with Product and AggregateRating schema may show as a rich result with star ratings (e.g., 4.7/5 from 312 reviews), dramatically improving CTR compared to a standard listing.
