Integrating Google Rich Snippets With WordPress

With out a doubt Google “Rich snippet” feature with Google SERP that makes the particular listing  quickly attracts the viewers than any other listing and increase the CTR .With this rich snippet feature the review or ratings from the particular review portal or blog showed with the Google SERP and its dramatically improves the CTR of this particular listing.The listing which got the review ratings from Google will get more CTR than the other listings of the SERP.

Google SERP with Implemented Rich Snippet Feature

Google SERP with Implemented Rich Snippet Feature

I strongly believe that this feature will play the vital role in increasing the CTR of the particular listing from other listing present in the SERP.This will be good for others like products,gadgets,service, hosting,services review ratings portals.For the internet marketers like me  it  will be the easiest and cheapest way to increase the SERP CTR.ok lets take a look how can we integrate rich snippet with wordpress?

WordPress Plugins Supports Google Rich Snippets
As for now,there are two well-known or well build plug-ins available to integrate this rich snippet feature with Google.The first one is the SEO Ultimate plugin and the other one is GD Ratings Plug-in.You can choose between this two plug-ins for your blog integration.

I prefer “GD Ratings” plugin over “SEO ultimate” because of following reason.

I am already using the “All in one SEO” with my blog so i don’t want to add one more plugin or i don’t would like to replace it with this new plugin because “All ine one SEO” is light weight than “SEO Ultimate”.

Special Note:
SEO ultimate version 1.6 or above supports import the options from “All in one SEO” plugin.You can use this feature to import all of your options from your “All in SEO” to “SEO Ultimate” plugin migration if required.

SEO Ultimate only supports the editorial ratings submission(Admin rating submission) where as the GD rating will also gets the inputs from the visitor ratings.This will be needed when more than one rating is needed to display with SERP.

GD ratings plugin mainly build for ratings or review purpose so we can expect more support and extended features from this plugin team in future.

Integrating Rich Snippet with WordPress

Integrating  rich snippet with your WordPress blog is just two steps away.

First step : You have to insert the review rating core code with your WordPress core files.You can do this automatically by using SEO ultimate plugin or GD ratings plugin or you can do it manually by inserting code by yourself.

Second Step: Second you need to adjust your theme file to support Google Rich Snippet Syntax.That means you have to verify your blog post field against mandatory fields required as “review post” by Google. To help on this Google comes with Google rich snipet test tool feature

where you can preview the review post against Google SERP.This tool shows the preview of the SERP with rich snippet feature upon successful validation pass.The test tool generates the error message if your review post is not passed the test,then you have to correct the errors for successful SERP inclusion.

After doing all this steps you have just completed your part,but beware that showing your review post with rich snippet feature in SERP is not guaranteed for all time.It seems that Google will show ratings to the relevant portals with their SERP.So try to improve the overall Google authority or quality of your website

Special Note:

Google also provides the  Review Post Ratings SERP inclusion request feature where you can request your website or blog included with their results.
