A few weeks ago we held another Webmaster Conference Lightning Talk, this time about Rich Results and Search Console. During the talk we hosted a live chat and a lot of viewers asked questions - we tried to answer all we could, but our typing skills didn't match the challenge...so we thought we'd follow up on the questions posed in this blog post.
If you missed the video, you can watch it below: it discusses how to get started with rich results and use Search Console to optimize your search appearance in Google Search.
Rich Results and Search Console FAQs
Will a site rank higher against competitors if it implements structured data?
Structured data by itself is not a generic ranking factor. However, it can help Google to understand what the page is about, which can make it easier for us to show it where relevant and make it eligible for additional search experiences.
Which structured data would you recommend to use in Ecommerce category pages?
You don't need to mark up the products on a category page, a Product should only be marked up when they are the primary element on a page.
