Google and other search engines have made ways to better track data and advocate the use of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, Google made better use of structured data through Rich Snippets to optimize the appearance of search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Rich Snippets?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The structured data markup that is placed in a webpage allows Google and other search engines better understand the content of a page. This results to \u201cRich Snippets\u201d or \u201cRich Results\u201d. These are search results that have extra information based on the structured data of a webpage. This adds extra interaction for the user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/docs\/schemas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">list of schemas in schema.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> consists of 614 types, 906 properties, and 114 enumeration values &#8211; and that is a lot.
