Get those rich snippets to work to your benefit. With just a few quick minutes of work, you at least have a shot at getting your pic to show up next to the search engine listing for YOUR company!
To the detriment of all that goodness, recent rumbles are making the rounds that Google may start pushing the power of these snippets to the back burner going forward. Like a lot of things, once people understand how to use (and exploit) them, they’re no longer as useful to Google to determine worthiness of a website.
We’re personally seeing noticeably fewer images lately appearing next to SERP listings than we did a few months ago. The smiling faces next to some results have often brought increased attention to those entries – even if they WERE at the bottom of a page, but with minimizing returns on this… Who knows. Jill Kocher shows a few things on a page that can really bump up the focus on YOUR SERP item! We’re sharing this locally – and if you need local search engine optimization, like Raleigh SEO services, you need to contact the folks at CopyNight.org. A small local internet technologies marketing company that specializes in solid local search campaigns and web marketing strategies. Back to our topic…
Our opinion? Until you throw the ball, you just don’t know if it’s going to be a strike or not. They may appear for your listing or they may not.Those rich snippets will never appear though if you don’t take a few minutes to set them up to begin with!
