Rich Snippets Instructional Videos Posted: 16 Dec 2011 09:59 AM PST Webmaster level: All When users come to Google, they have a pretty good idea of what they're looking for, but they need help deciding which result might have the information that best suits their needs. So, the challenge for Google is to make it very clear to our users what content exists on a page in both a useful and concise manner. That's why we have rich snippets. Essentially, rich snippets provide you with the ability to help Google highlight aspects of your page. Whether your site contains information about products, recipes, events or apps, a few simple additions to your markup can result in more engagement with your content -- and potentially more traffic to your site. To help you get started or fine tune your rich snippets, we've put together a series of tutorial videos for webmasters of all experience levels. These videos provide guidance as you mark up your site so that Google is better able to understand your content. We can use that content to power the rich snippets we display for your pages. Check out the videos below to get started: For more information on how to use rich snippets markup for your site, visit our Help Center. Posted by Alejandro Goyen, Product Manager
