Rich Results / Rich Snippets
Rich results are enhanced search listings generated from structured data that display additional information like star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, or vehicle details directly in Google's search results.
Full Definition
Rich results (formerly called rich snippets) are special search result formats that Google generates when a page has valid, complete structured data. For dealerships, rich results can appear as star ratings from review schema, FAQ accordions from FAQPage schema, vehicle details from Vehicle schema, or breadcrumb navigation trails. Rich results increase the visual footprint of a search listing — making it more prominent and informative — which typically produces higher click-through rates than standard blue-link results. Eligibility for rich results requires implementing the appropriate schema type and passing Google's Rich Results Test.
Why It Matters for Your Dealership
Rich results can significantly increase click-through rates on dealership pages without requiring higher rankings. A dealership at position four with review stars and FAQ dropdowns can outperform a standard blue-link result at a higher position in raw clicks.
In Practice
For dealerships, rich results can appear as star ratings from review schema, FAQ accordions from FAQPage schema, vehicle details from Vehicle schema, or breadcrumb navigation trails.
