How Do You Add Rich Snippets to Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:24 am

If you’re using Shopify to run your online store, you might be wondering how you can add rich snippets to your product pages. Rich snippets are a great way to improve your click-through rate and organic search ranking, and they can also help to give your products more exposure in the search results.

Adding rich snippets to your Shopify store is easy to do, and there are a few different methods you can use. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to add rich snippets to Shopify using the built-in metafields feature, as well as how to use a third-party app.

Metafields

Shopify’s metafields feature lets you add extra information to your products, pages, and blog posts. This information can then be used to create rich snippets in the search results.

To add metafields to your products, log in to your Shopify admin and go to Products > All products. Then, click on the product you want to edit and scroll down to the Metafields section.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding Rich Snippets to your Shopify store may result in unexpected and unwanted changes to your store’s appearance. If you are not comfortable with making changes to your store’s code, we recommend that you seek out a professional developer to help you implement this feature.

From here, you can add as many metafields as you like. Each metafield consists of three parts:
• a namespace (this is used to group related metafields together)
• a key (this is used to identify the metafield)
• a value (this is the information that you want to store in the metafield)

Once you’ve added your metafields, they’ll be automatically added to your product pages in the form of rich snippets. You can check how these appear in the search results by using Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool.

Third-Party Apps

If you don’t want to use Shopify’s built-in metafields feature, there are a few third-party apps that can help you add rich snippets to your products. Some of these apps also let you customize how your rich snippets appear in the search results, which can be helpful if you want more control over what information is shown.

One popular app that lets you add rich snippets to Shopify is SEO Manager by Booster Apps. With this app, you can choose which fields from your products should be included in the rich snippets, and you can also customize the format of how they appear. The app starts at $9.99 per month, and it offers a free 14-day trial so that you can try it out before committing to it.

Adding rich snippets to your Shopify store is a great way to improve your organic search ranking and click-through rate. There are a few different methods you can use, including Shopify’s built-in metafields feature or a third-party app. Whichever method you choose, make sure that your rich snippets are accurate and up-to-date so that potential customers can easily find the information they’re looking for about your products.
