Rich Result

Some Google Search listings display additional elements beyond a standard link, such as eligible recipe details or other supported result features.

Some Google Search listings display additional elements beyond a standard link, such as eligible recipe details or other supported result features. These are often called rich results. Structured data can help search engines interpret certain page information and assess eligibility for specific displays, but adding markup does not guarantee a rich result. Many small service business pages may not qualify for the same enhancements as other content types. Eligibility also depends on Google's current documentation and policies. A rich result is not the same thing as a featured snippet, and neither should be promised as an SEO deliverable. The page's information should remain accurate and helpful even when no special search presentation appears.
