Displaying Rich Snippets on Your Product Pages

Boost your search visibility with gold stars in Google results

Updated this week

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

  1. Go to: Product Reviews > Review Display Widget

  2. Click on your Product Widget

  3. 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

  1. Multiple Widgets

    • RaveCapture does not support more than one Product Review Widget per page. Attempting this will break rich snippet functionality.

  2. 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.

  3. Conflicting Schema

    • Remove other Rich Snippet tools or theme code (especially for Shopify/WooCommerce). Duplicate schema will cause Google to ignore all markup.

  4. 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
