Hi,

I can use some guidance here PLEASE. So I am filling the snippet form with most of the requested fields but when I check my site index on google, the pictures only appear next to listings that are TAGS or Categories but not the recipes or the products.

Here is the way I check on google. In the search engine I put site:http://www.maskafood.com and go down the list.

The other thing, now a summary box appears at the bottom of the recipe and product pages with information; here is a link as an example:

http://www.maskafood.com/product/premium-syrup-orange-blossom-water-10-ounce/
and
http://www.maskafood.com/the-best-namoura-recipe-ever/

Is this supposed to appear like that ?

Hi @rcktech

It is compulsory to show microdata markup on the page. If the markup is hidden then Google will not consider these hidden markups in the google search result.
Please refer this screenshot:

Refer these articles:

https://schema.org/docs/gs.html#schemaorg_expected

However, if you still want to hide the summary box, please add this custom CSS.
Custom CSS:
#snippet-box{
display: none;
}

Hope it clarifies you!

Ok. I am ok with the duplicate, I can live with it but the Google results still does not show the pictures on the side, the rating stars etc.. That was more important to me.

Thank you

Hi @rcktech

I understand you’ve implemented Schema structured data on your website, but still have not appeared in Google’s rich snippets yet. Just to let you know, like everything with SEO and Google, rich snippets take time to appear in search results and depend heavily on the authority of the website.

Structured data and Schema, in general, is a bit complex to implement on websites and our plugin helps anyone easily add that on their WordPress websites. However, adding Structured data and Schema code in the website does not guarantee rich snippets immediately. It’s totally up to Google and takes weeks, sometimes months to appear. Google search results depend on the data which should be accurate and valid. It’s totally up to Google to decide when and how to show the result.
