Winning the Click: A WooCommerce Schema & Rich Snippet Strategy
Client: A mid-sized e-commerce 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, a key technical seo for ecommerce failure:
Good Rankings, Low Clicks (CTR)
Ranking #3-5 for many products but had a <2% CTR.
No Schema Markup & 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 Comprehensive Technical SEO Audit found no structured data on their product pages.
No “Review” Data
They had thousands of product reviews, but their theme wasn’t marking them up for Google
Weak Product Images
Product images were generic and not optimized for search, reducing clicks from Google results and engagement.
Get More Clicks (with Stars)
“Want your 5-star ratings to show up in Google? Our Schema Markup & Rich Snippets service will make your listings stand out and boost your CTR.”
Our Approach – How We Solved These Challenges
Comprehensive Technical SEO Audit
We used Google Search Console to find their highest-impression, lowest-CTR “loser” pages.
Schema Markup & Rich Snippets
This was the key. Our ecommerce technical seo company implemented Product, AggregateRating (for their 5-star reviews), and Offer (for price/availability) schema across all WooCommerce product templates.
On-Page SEO (Technical)
We used the Schema.org Validator to test and ensure the code was 100% correct and error-free.
We requested re-indexing in Google Search Console for their top 100 products.
UI/UX Analysis
We leveraged their existing positive reviews (User-Generated Content) for the new AggregateRating schema.
Results
| Metric | Before | After | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. Organic CTR (on Product Pages) | 1.9% | 5.8% (with stars) | +205% |
| Pages with “Review” Rich Snippets | 0 | 2,500+ | N/A |
| Organic Sales (from target pages) | $40,000/mo | $75,000/mo | +87.5% |
