Overview
Rich Snippets are a powerful way to enhance how your product pages appear in Google search results. By adding structured review data to your website, you can display gold stars, ratings, and review counts directly under your product URLs in organic search. This builds trust and drives more clicks.
RaveCapture automatically embeds Google-compliant Rich Snippet markup (JSON-LD format) into your Product Review Widgets. No additional setup is required beyond ensuring your widget is installed properly.
Why Rich Snippets Matter
Increased Click-Through Rates: Gold stars in search make your listings stand out.
Built-in Trust: Displaying customer feedback before a click builds early credibility.
SEO-Friendly: Structured data helps Google better understand your product content.
How to Enable Rich Snippets in RaveCapture
Go to: Product Reviews > Review Display Widget
Click on your Product Widget
Scroll to the "Rich Snippets" checkbox and ensure it is enabled
Once enabled, RaveCapture will embed schema automatically on your product pages via the installed widget.
Schema Details Embedded by RaveCapture
Our Rich Snippet markup includes support for:
Product Schema: Name, URL, Description, Image (if provided)
Offer Schema: Price, Currency
Rating Schema: Aggregate Rating Value and Review Count
Note: A valid price is required for Google to validate the schema. Missing price = snippet will not be eligible.
How Long Does It Take for Rich Snippets to Show?
Google typically takes 6–8 weeks to crawl and display stars
Timing depends entirely on your site’s crawl frequency and indexing status
To verify schema is being read, use Google’s Rich Results Test
Common Issues & How to Avoid Them
Multiple Widgets
RaveCapture does not support more than one Product Review Widget per page. Attempting this will break rich snippet functionality.
Missing Price
Without a price, schema will be invalid. Be sure your product has a price in the Product Library or passed via embed config.
Conflicting Schema
Remove other Rich Snippet tools or theme code (especially for Shopify/WooCommerce). Duplicate schema will cause Google to ignore all markup.
0 Reviews Showing
Schema still renders with 0 reviews, but Google may delay or skip display until you have at least 5 reviews per product (not required, but observed behavior).
Best Practices
Ensure your widget is installed only once per product page
Keep product data in the Product Library updated (especially price)
Use Google’s Rich Results Test tool regularly to confirm validation
Avoid conflicting schema code from other apps or themes
