Winning the Click: A Product Schema & Rich Snippet Strategy
Client: A mid-sized Shopify store in the “Home & Kitchen” niche.
Challenges We Faced
The client was ranking on page one for many products but was getting almost no clicks:
Good Rankings, Low Clicks (CTR)
Ranking #3-5 for many products but had a <2% CTR.
No Rich Snippets
Competitors had 5-star ratings, pricing, and “in stock” info in the SERPs; our client’s listings were “plain.”
Missing Product Schema
A Full-Scale Product Page Audit found no structured data.
Weak Titles & Descriptions
The Title & Meta Description Optimization was poor and didn’t entice clicks.
Unclear Product Images
Product images were generic or low-quality, failing to grab attention and reducing clicks from search results.
Get More Clicks (with Stars)
“Want your 5-star ratings to show up in Google? Our Product Schema & Rich Snippets service will make your listings stand out and boost your CTR.”
Our Approach – How We Solved These Challenges
Comprehensive Product Page Audit
We used Google Search Console to find their highest-impression, lowest-CTR “loser” pages.
Product Schema & Rich Snippets
This was the key. We implemented Product, AggregateRating, and Offer schema (for their 5-star reviews and pricing) on all product pages.
Title & Meta Description Optimization
We rewrote all titles and meta descriptions to be compelling, include the keyword, and feature a CTA (e.g., “Shop Now,” “Free Shipping”).
Customer Review Optimization
We leveraged their existing positive reviews (User-Generated Content) to feed the new AggregateRating schema.
Results
