Rich snippet checker
Enter a web page address and we will find its structured data, show it in a readable form, and tell you whether it looks valid for Google rich results.
How it works
What the checker looks at
Paste in the address of any public web page. We read the page, find its structured data, and show you what it says in plain English.
Finds your structured data
Structured data is the hidden code that tells search engines what a page is about. We look for:
JSON-LD, the format Google recommends
Microdata added to the page itself
RDFa, an older format some systems still use
Open Graph and Twitter tags used for link previews
Checks it against Google’s requirements
Each item gets a clear result: valid, valid with warnings, or has errors. We check:
Required and recommended properties for common types such as products, reviews, events, articles and local businesses
Dates, web addresses, prices and ratings are in the right format
The markup is readable, with a schema.org context
Notes where Google does not show a rich result for that type
Things to know
A guide, not Google’s own verdict:
We read the page as it is delivered, so markup added by JavaScript after the page loads is not seen
A valid result does not guarantee that Google will show a rich result
For a second opinion, use Google’s Rich Results Test, which we link to with each result

Rich snippets and structured data: your questions answered
What is a rich snippet?
A rich snippet is an enhanced search result that shows extra detail beyond the usual title and description, such as star ratings, prices, event dates, breadcrumbs or opening hours. Search engines build them from structured data on the page.
What is structured data, or schema markup?
It is code added to a web page that describes its content in a form search engines and AI tools can read easily: this page is a product, this is its price, this is the business that sells it. It is usually written as JSON-LD using the schema.org vocabulary.
Why does my page have warnings?
A warning means the markup is valid but is missing a property that Google recommends. Your page can still qualify for a rich result, but adding the property usually makes the result more complete and the markup more useful.
What is the difference between errors and warnings?
An error means something Google requires is missing or wrongly formatted, such as a price with a currency symbol or a date in the wrong format, so the markup is likely to be ignored. A warning means a recommended property is missing.
My page passes but I do not see a rich result. Why?
Valid markup makes a page eligible, but Google decides whether to show a rich result. It depends on the quality of the page and the search, and some types, such as a business’s own reviews of itself, are not shown at all.
Does structured data help with AI search?
It can. Clear, accurate structured data gives AI assistants and AI-powered search a reliable, machine-readable description of your business, services and content. It is one of the things we look at in our <a href="/ai-review">free AI review</a>.

Yes. Structured data is part of our <a href="/website-support/seo">SEO services</a>. Tell us what the checker found and we will recommend what to add or fix.
