What are Rich Google Snippets?

Rich snippets are additional information that appears in search engine results pages (SERPs) alongside a website’s URL and meta description. They provide a summary of the web page’s content and help users quickly determine whether the page is relevant to their search query. 

Rich snippets can include various types of content, such as star ratings, product prices, event dates, and more. They are displayed in a visually appealing way and attract more attention from users, which can lead to increased click-through rates and website traffic.
