General SEO

Rich Result

Quick Definition

A rich result is any non-standard SERP listing enhanced by structured data — review stars, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, event listings, product cards.

In context

Rich results increase CTR by 20–40% on average. They're earned by adding correct schema markup and meeting Google's eligibility guidelines for the specific result type.
