Has Google Awarded My Site With Rich Snippets?

TL;DR

Rich snippets are those extra bits of information you sometimes see in Google search results—star ratings, prices, availability, and more. They make your listings stand out and can help you attract more clicks.

This guide will show you how to check if your site has them, what they look like, why you might not see them yet, and how to monitor your site’s progress with Google Search Console.

We’ll cover:

If you’ve just installed our app, you’ll need to be patient. Google decides when to crawl and index your site, and there’s no way to force it.

In most cases, it can take anywhere from 3–12 weeks, but sometimes up to 6 months in rare cases.

The best thing you can do while you wait is continue improving your site’s SEO—add high-quality content, get reviews, write better product descriptions, and keep your site fresh.

Step 2:
Look through the results. If Google has awarded you rich snippets, you’ll see enhanced search results—these might include star ratings, prices, or other extra details.

Rich snippets are just enhanced search results. They take up more space and give searchers more information at a glance. Here are some examples:

Example 1: Product Info (No Reviews Yet)
Shows pricing and availability. Helpful for shoppers even without reviews.

Example 2: Product Info + Reviews
Adds star ratings, review counts, pricing, and availability.

Example 3: Blog Articles
May display the publication date alongside your article description.

Example 4: Cornerstone Content
Displays important pages that target key topics or keywords.

Example 5: High Domain Authority
For sites with excellent SEO, Google may show multiple site sections directly in search results, each with a short blurb.

If you don’t see them yet, it usually means:

Our Ongoing SEO app makes your site eligible for rich snippets, but Google decides when and if you get them. Keep improving your SEO, be patient, and use Google Search Console to track your progress.
