They help both human users and search engine robots use your site. However, the biggest advantage of rich snippets is the increase in click-through-rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Rich Snippets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While rich snippets do not directly increase your search ranking on Google, they do help users and robots get a better \u2018feel\u2019 for your website or page. When users have a better feel for your website, it eliminates any of the guesswork. They know they will get the answers they need from your site, leading to more qualified traffic and a better conversion rate. Rich snippets, in this sense, function almost like a long link. Think of a hyperlink that says \u201cclick here\u201d. It\u2019s not very descriptive, and a user may avoid clicking on it because they don\u2019t know where it will take them. However, if the link reads \u201cclick to download a PDF version of the Apple Crumble recipe\u201d more users who would like an apple crumble recipe are going to click on the link. The same is true on the SERP. A user will be more likely to click on a site if they know it will take them to the information they are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools for Rich Snippets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several useful tools to help fully optimize the rich snippets on your site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yoast SEO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schema.org<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Search Help<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Developers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Search Central<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*The number of tools from Google shows just how important rich snippets are to Google<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yoast SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A WordPress Plugin that helps you to optimize your site for rich snippets.
