Rich snippet
A rich snippet is an ordinary search result dressed up with extra detail — star ratings, price, stock status — pulled from the structured data on the page. It doesn't change your ranking, but it makes your listing far more clickable.

Picture two results sitting in the same position. One is a plain blue link. The other shows a 4.6-star rating, a price, and an "In stock" label. Most people click the second one. That's the whole point of a rich snippet: it earns attention without you moving up a single spot.
They're generated from schema markup. Add Product schema to a Shopify product page and Google can pull the price and availability into your listing. Add genuine review data and you may earn the star rating. One caveat worth knowing: review stars need real, eligible first-party reviews — Google won't show ratings you've invented, and faking them can get the markup ignored or your site flagged.
Eligibility isn't automatic. The markup has to be valid, match what's actually visible on the page, and follow Google's structured-data guidelines — and even then Google decides whether to display it. Seokai generates the JSON-LD that makes your Shopify product, article, and FAQ pages eligible, so you're not hand-writing schema to chase these.
