They are featured based on the structured data that you add for certain content pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data is organized such that Google finds it easy to interpret it correctly and display it in the SERPs in a more enhanced manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, Google crawlers may have to look at content that is framed like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-crawlers.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2738\" width=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-crawlers.png 451w, https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-crawlers-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of rich snippets, you frame it all in a more readable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Case-of-rich-snippets.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2739\" width=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Case-of-rich-snippets.png 441w, https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Case-of-rich-snippets-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add rich snippets, here are some of the best practices you should follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choose-the-right-snippet-type\">Choose the Right Snippet Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve already discussed, there are many different types of rich snippets out there. The first step for you is to figure out which category is right for your web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you publishing a recipe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to add content related to an event?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, are you adding FAQs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest some time in identifying and analyzing the use cases of different snippet types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you pick the snippet type you want to create, check out the available search enhancements for your chosen category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can look for more information about it <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/advanced\/appearance\/search-result-features?visit_id=637576017519716774-342468408&amp;rd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-study-mandatory-requirements-for-your-snippet-type\">Study Mandatory Requirements for Your Snippet Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each snippet type has some mandatory requirements. Study them so as to ensure you\u2019re on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, Google provides all of the information you may need for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/guides\/search-gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Search Gallery<\/a> page to check all of the required item properties for your snippet type. The fields that are shown as mandatory should be included in your code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, let\u2019s say you are creating a course online and want to include a rich card for that. You\u2019ll need to tag the description and name. Along with it, you can include the course provider as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Study-Mandatory-Requirements-for-Your-Snippet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2740\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Study-Mandatory-Requirements-for-Your-Snippet.jpg 633w, https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Study-Mandatory-Requirements-for-Your-Snippet-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/guides\/search-gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-structured-markup-data\">Add Structured Markup Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to write the code as needed.

Instead, opt for short paragraphs and bullet lists to make your content easily scannable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/on-page-seo-checklist\/\">on-page SEO<\/a>, you should take care of &lt;HTML&gt; tags while writing your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tags<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>How to Use Them<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&lt;h2&gt; and &lt;h3&gt;&nbsp;<\/td><td>Use them for questions that are related to the overall user intent.

Since it addresses commonly asked questions, you\u2019re adding content that people are searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure you pick the right questions to add to this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you search for a keyword, you always see a section titled, \u201cPeople Also Ask,\u201d on Google search results pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-People-Also-Ask.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2743\" width=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-People-Also-Ask.jpg 649w, https:\/\/seobuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Google-People-Also-Ask-300x116.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=firefox-b-d&amp;q=top+fashion+influencers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your quick shortcut to finding the right FAQs to include in your content.
