It’s incredibly sad that Christopher Schmitt passed away last week¹. I keep thinking about how Christopher was one of the best dudes I knew. Just incredibly kind and thoughtful all the way through. I know everyone says that about people after they pass, but I really mean it here. I’m sure we all know people that we like quite a bit, but hey, we know they can be an asshole sometimes too. Not Christopher, at least not to me. He was always good to me in ways I’ll never be able to reciprocate.
Here’s the most important thing:
We (a group of developer friends) would like to build a site of memories that people have of Christopher. We have our own, but we’d like to collect as many memories from as many people as possible to make this a true memorial to him. If you have one you would like to share publicly, please submit it to this little site just for that.
I hardly know where to start reminiscing about Christopher. Broadly: I spoke at more conferences thrown by Christopher (and Ari) than anyone else. At least a dozen. He used to throw one called In Control in Orlando that I spoke at a number of times and met some early web friends that I’m still close with today! Stephanie Rewis mentioned to me that’s where we met the first time and she remembers me coding away on a yet-to-be released CodePen while there. In Control went to Hawaii one year, along with the first-ever CSS Dev Conf, bringing me to Hawaii for the first time in my life, where I remember driving around the island with Daniel Burka. CSS Dev Conf went all sorts of amazing places, and I went to all of them! Estes Park, New Orleans, The Queen Mary… all these incredible locations that were all incredible memories for me.
And all I have are blurry, distant photos of him like this:
Christopher and Ari also ran an absolute ton of online conferences. CSS Summit, RWD Summit, SVG Summit… they ran a ton of them and they were really ahead of their time. I remember a funny moment where I had just moved to a new city and my internet wasn’t installed yet, but I still had to present online at one of these, so I did it out of my neighbors garage (as their kids slept), and the light in the garage kept going out because it didn’t detect movement. 😬
The people I met through Christopher are too many to count. He was a great connector in that way. His influence on the web was tremendous through his direct work, like writing (what, a dozen books?), blogging (even here!), speaking, and podcasting (e.g. The Non Breaking Space Show) but when you consider the people he brought together, his influence is immeasurable.
I literally made money off the guy. In the early years of ShopTalk, when it was tough to sell podcast spots at all, Christopher would sponsor every episode of ShopTalk, which probably gave us the boost that ensured it’s still happening today. Who knows what would have happened without that.
One of the things I liked best about Christopher is that he was a damn nerd. Through and through. In a way that made you envious that you could one day hope to up your nerd level that high. Guy had a Chewbacca costume that he wore regularly. His Instagram is full of snaps of him meeting other famous nerds.
I hope you still got those black Converses on wherever you are, buddy.
(And remember, if you have a memory with Christopher, please share it.)
It wasn’t COVID-19. Poor guy was dealt bad cards from day one for his health and he fought it the the best he could.
They make your website look good in Google and entice people to click on your posts instead of others.
How? By providing search engines with extra information about your website’s content.
Currently, your pages or site show up in a search engine with their title, meta description, and URL.
Rich snippets have the ability to change this appearance by sharing relevant details about your website. This may include a user review, star rating, or additional information that tells visitors more about what to expect from your content.
So, how can you display rich snippets for your WordPress website? The conventional way is to use Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper.
Google Structured Data Markup lets you scrap a part of code from the backend of your website. You then mark it up by defining different elements in a dropdown. The tool then creates a marked up code (also known as schema code or structured data) that you can add to the header of your website.
The ‘adding the markup code to your site’s header’ part is where it gets tricky. You could mess up your theme if you don’t know where to put the markup. This is the reason why I recommend using a WordPress rich snippet plugin for the task.
WordPress rich snippets plugins will create schema markup codes for your entire website. Some even let you manually edit the markup. As a result, you don’t need to install any code in your site’s header – all you have to do is install the right plugin.
There’s no shortage of rich snippet plugins available for WordPress. To help you decide which one to install, I’m going to review the eight best ones along with their pros, cons, and pricing.
But first, let’s talk about the advantages of using rich snippets.
Benefits of Using Rich Snippets for Your WordPress Website
Apart from making your website look unique in search engine listings, rich snippets offer the following benefits:
Improve Your Online Visibility
Adding structured data to your site helps search engines better understand the context of your webpages. Better understanding allows them to display your content in a useful, relevant manner. This is crucial because search engines strive to match the search intent of their users. By creating schema markup for your site, you help increase their confidence in your webpages, increasing your chances of being recommended in search.
Help Visitors See Whether Your Site Answers Their Question
Rich snippets eliminate the guesswork for curious search engine users. If your listings feature rich snippets, users will know what you offer and can even see social proof like ratings right inside the snippet. Simply put, the more details you offer, the better your chances of attracting and converting visitors.
Increase eCommerce Sales
If you’re selling products through your WordPress website (with the help of WooCommerce or another similar platform), rich snippets will help drive more visitors to your product pages. Details like price range and item availability will hopefully improve your clickthrough-rate.
Rich Snippets Are Not the Same as Featured Snippets
Rich snippets are often confused with Featured
snippets, so let’s clarify the difference between the two once and for all.
Simply, a featured snippet is an answer to a search query that appears at the top of search engine results, often with textual links, images, and videos. If your website is optimized for SEO and you’ve done your best to answer people’s queries, some of your webpages may be displayed in the featured snippet.
Here’s what a featured snippet looks like:
Rich snippets, in contrast, won’t take your
website above organic listings and paid ads in SERPs. They, however, will
generate clicks by offering more useful information to search engine users.
Also, Google can display several rich snippets on each page.
As far as ease is concerned, rich snippets are less difficult to obtain. Just use a rich snippet plugin, and your webpages will start displaying important data in search engines after a certain period. It’s not as easy to acquire featured snippets – you need perfect on-page SEO and high-authority mentions to be deemed as a respectable source of answers.
Now that you know how rich snippets work, let’s take a look at your options.
Schema Pro is a feature-rich snippet plugin
that’s suitable for a variety of content types and webpages.
Once installed, the plugin provides you with a handy setup wizard to create a global schema for your website.
You get to choose a schema from 13 different schema types, including review, event, article, product, local business, and more.
Then, you define the content you wish to display the schema for. You can either go for all posts and pages or exclude certain pieces of content.
What’s unique about Schema Pro is that it lets you use the ‘JSON-LD’ schema markup. This markup language can help you acquire rich snippets without the need to add more content to your website.
As you’ll experience with some other rich snippet plugins, it’s common for providers to force site owners to add a new content box to the front-end of their WordPress site.
Schema Pro doesn’t do that.
Instead, it allows you to add marked up code
to your existing content.
Pros
Intuitive interface
13 different schema types
Works
with existing content

No

Cons
No free plan/version
Price
$79 for unlimited websites with 1 year of updates/support
This is another WordPress rich snippet plugin
that’s easy to configure and supports multiple schema types.
Upon its installation, you get a new snippet meta box that lets you define what a page/post is about.
The plugin offers straightforward implementation of popular schema types, such as review, products, article, recipes, events, and so on.
However, all pieces of data need to be added manually.
That’s because All In One Schema Rich Snippets doesn’t offer automatic field mapping. You have to enter specific information in the meta box by yourself for all pages.
With that said, it’s completely free to
install and use. If you’re looking for a simple way to display schema markup
for your webpages, All In One Schema Rich Snippets is a decent choice.
What’s more, it has enough power to display
rich snippets for WooCommerce-based WordPress sites.
If you’re running a review-based blog or
website, then WP Product Review Lite won’t leave you disappointed.
The plugin offers various types of customizations to ensure that reviews look like an integral aspect of your website.
There are three review box templates to choose from, and each of them features an image, rating, and pros and cons for individual products.
WP Product Review Lite also gives you the
ability to customize the box’s design. You can disable or enable the affiliate
button, tweak colors, and more.
And if you’re not a fan of the ‘star icon’
that’s typically used for ratings, you can choose another icon instead (there
are more than 10 options).
Besides all of that, the plugin lets you collect comments from people and accept their reviews. This is a cool way to display social proof for certain products. Site owners earning from Amazon affiliates may see an uptick in sales after installing WP Product Review Lite.
SNIP is the most popular rich snippets plugin
at CodeCanyon.
It has over 2,700 sales and it’s easy to understand why so many WordPress users
are interested in its functionality.
SNIP gives you the ability to access every markup type available at schema.org. Once you finalize the schema markup you want to use, the plugin tries to link the schema information with some of your existing content.
For other webpages, you’d need to enter the information manually. Even this is not an issue as the plugin is well-designed and easy to use.
So, if you want to access every schema type from schema.org, SNIP is your best bet.
The only downside is that it has a price tag,
which is understandable given the depth of options it contains.
Pros
Easy to use, even if data needs to be entered manually
This is another premium plugin that unlocks
the whole schema.org schema set for your WordPress website.
You can use Schema App Structured Data to
create marked up code for posts, categories, pages, and more.
Additionally, the plugin lets you create a markup for your site’s footer and header sections as well.
Other features include the ability to create rich
video snippets for YouTube, field mapping, custom post, and WooCommerce
integration.
Because this is a premium WordPress rich snippets plugin, you’ll also get instructions on how to proceed with the installation of schema code. This includes health checks to access the quality of your markup.
This is another rich snippet plugin that’s
targeted towards review websites.
It lets you add your own ratings to the
schema code or ask your customers to leave their own.
And if you want to freshen up the look of
your snippets, you can pick from the thumbs, points, star, circle, or
percentage rating systems.
WP Review Pro also contains custom-designed widgets for integrating reviews into your footer, sidebar, and other widget-supported areas.
Plus, it’s capable of displaying a rating to
visitors hovering over a post’s thumbnail as they navigate your website. This
immediate data could help them make quick purchase decisions and can result in
increased revenue.
Other unique capabilities of WP Review Pro
include the ability to integrate Google Places, Facebook, and Yelp reviews.
This is all on top of the fact it gives you the option to create ‘comparison
tables’ featuring multiple products.
All other plugins mostly concentrate on schema markup – WP Review Pro goes a step further and ensures your website is optimized for readability, clicks, and conversions.

Which WordPress Rich Snippet Plugin Is Right for You?
There you have it: A list of 8 intuitive rich snippet plugins for WordPress. Now the question is: which one is the best for your site?
The answer depends on two things:
Your
budget
The
nature of your website
If you can afford to spend $30 to $80 on a
plugin, then I recommend that you go with Schema Pro or WP Review Pro. Choose
the former for a content-based WordPress website, and the latter for a
review-based business.
If you’ve just started your business and
can’t afford to spend a lot of money upfront, choose a free plugin like Schema
& Structured Data for WP & AMP.
Regardless of the route you take, make sure to weigh up the pros and cons of
each plugin before installing it on your website.

Which WordPress Rich Snippet Plugin Is Right for You?
There you have it: A list of 8 intuitive rich snippet plugins for WordPress. Now the question is: which one is the best for your site?
The answer depends on two things:
Your
budget
The
nature of your website
If you can afford to spend $30 to $80 on a
plugin, then I recommend that you go with Schema Pro or WP Review Pro. Choose
the former for a content-based WordPress website, and the latter for a
review-based business.
If you’ve just started your business and
can’t afford to spend a lot of money upfront, choose a free plugin like Schema
& Structured Data for WP & AMP.
Regardless of the route you take, make sure to weigh up the pros and cons of
each plugin before installing it on your website.
I hope you found our list of the best WordPress rich snippet plugins useful.

They make your website look good in Google and entice people to click on your posts instead of others.
How? By providing search engines with extra information about your website’s content.
Currently, your pages or site show up in a search engine with their title, meta description, and URL.
Rich snippets have the ability to change this appearance by sharing relevant details about your website. This may include a user review, star rating, or additional information that tells visitors more about what to expect from your content.
So, how can you display rich snippets for your WordPress website? The conventional way is to use Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper.
Google Structured Data Markup lets you scrap a part of code from the backend of your website. You then mark it up by defining different elements in a dropdown. The tool then creates a marked up code (also known as schema code or structured data) that you can add to the header of your website.
The ‘adding the markup code to your site’s header’ part is where it gets tricky. You could mess up your theme if you don’t know where to put the markup. This is the reason why I recommend using a WordPress rich snippet plugin for the task.
WordPress rich snippets plugins will create schema markup codes for your entire website. Some even let you manually edit the markup. As a result, you don’t need to install any code in your site’s header – all you have to do is install the right plugin.
There’s no shortage of rich snippet plugins available for WordPress. To help you decide which one to install, I’m going to review the eight best ones along with their pros, cons, and pricing.
But first, let’s talk about the advantages of using rich snippets.
Benefits of Using Rich Snippets for Your WordPress Website
Apart from making your website look unique in search engine listings, rich snippets offer the following benefits:
Improve Your Online Visibility
Adding structured data to your site helps search engines better understand the context of your webpages. Better understanding allows them to display your content in a useful, relevant manner. This is crucial because search engines strive to match the search intent of their users. By creating schema markup for your site, you help increase their confidence in your webpages, increasing your chances of being recommended in search.
Help Visitors See Whether Your Site Answers Their Question
Rich snippets eliminate the guesswork for curious search engine users. If your listings feature rich snippets, users will know what you offer and can even see social proof like ratings right inside the snippet. Simply put, the more details you offer, the better your chances of attracting and converting visitors.
Increase eCommerce Sales
If you’re selling products through your WordPress website (with the help of WooCommerce or another similar platform), rich snippets will help drive more visitors to your product pages. Details like price range and item availability will hopefully improve your clickthrough-rate.
Rich Snippets Are Not the Same as Featured Snippets
Rich snippets are often confused with Featured
snippets, so let’s clarify the difference between the two once and for all.
Simply, a featured snippet is an answer to a search query that appears at the top of search engine results, often with textual links, images, and videos. If your website is optimized for SEO and you’ve done your best to answer people’s queries, some of your webpages may be displayed in the featured snippet.
Here’s what a featured snippet looks like:
Rich snippets, in contrast, won’t take your
website above organic listings and paid ads in SERPs. They, however, will
generate clicks by offering more useful information to search engine users.
Also, Google can display several rich snippets on each page.
As far as ease is concerned, rich snippets are less difficult to obtain. Just use a rich snippet plugin, and your webpages will start displaying important data in search engines after a certain period. It’s not as easy to acquire featured snippets – you need perfect on-page SEO and high-authority mentions to be deemed as a respectable source of answers.
Now that you know how rich snippets work, let’s take a look at your options.
Schema Pro is a feature-rich snippet plugin
that’s suitable for a variety of content types and webpages.
Once installed, the plugin provides you with a handy setup wizard to create a global schema for your website.
You get to choose a schema from 13 different schema types, including review, event, article, product, local business, and more.
Then, you define the content you wish to display the schema for. You can either go for all posts and pages or exclude certain pieces of content.
What’s unique about Schema Pro is that it lets you use the ‘JSON-LD’ schema markup. This markup language can help you acquire rich snippets without the need to add more content to your website.
As you’ll experience with some other rich snippet plugins, it’s common for providers to force site owners to add a new content box to the front-end of their WordPress site.
Schema Pro doesn’t do that.
Instead, it allows you to add marked up code
to your existing content.
Pros
Intuitive interface
13 different schema types
Works
with existing content
Filters
for additional fields
No
coding knowledge required
Cons
No free plan/version
Price
$79 for unlimited websites with 1 year of updates/support
This is another WordPress rich snippet plugin
that’s easy to configure and supports multiple schema types.
Upon its installation, you get a new snippet meta box that lets you define what a page/post is about.
The plugin offers straightforward implementation of popular schema types, such as review, products, article, recipes, events, and so on.
However, all pieces of data need to be added manually.
That’s because All In One Schema Rich Snippets doesn’t offer automatic field mapping. You have to enter specific information in the meta box by yourself for all pages.
With that said, it’s completely free to
install and use. If you’re looking for a simple way to display schema markup
for your webpages, All In One Schema Rich Snippets is a decent choice.
What’s more, it has enough power to display
rich snippets for WooCommerce-based WordPress sites.
If you’re running a review-based blog or
website, then WP Product Review Lite won’t leave you disappointed.
The plugin offers various types of customizations to ensure that reviews look like an integral aspect of your website.
There are three review box templates to choose from, and each of them features an image, rating, and pros and cons for individual products.
WP Product Review Lite also gives you the
ability to customize the box’s design. You can disable or enable the affiliate
button, tweak colors, and more.
And if you’re not a fan of the ‘star icon’
that’s typically used for ratings, you can choose another icon instead (there
are more than 10 options).
Besides all of that, the plugin lets you collect comments from people and accept their reviews. This is a cool way to display social proof for certain products. Site owners earning from Amazon affiliates may see an uptick in sales after installing WP Product Review Lite.
SNIP is the most popular rich snippets plugin
at CodeCanyon.
It has over 2,700 sales and it’s easy to understand why so many WordPress users
are interested in its functionality.
SNIP gives you the ability to access every markup type available at schema.org. Once you finalize the schema markup you want to use, the plugin tries to link the schema information with some of your existing content.
For other webpages, you’d need to enter the information manually. Even this is not an issue as the plugin is well-designed and easy to use.
So, if you want to access every schema type from schema.org, SNIP is your best bet.
The only downside is that it has a price tag,
which is understandable given the depth of options it contains.
Pros
Easy to use, even if data needs to be entered manually
This is another premium plugin that unlocks
the whole schema.org schema set for your WordPress website.
You can use Schema App Structured Data to
create marked up code for posts, categories, pages, and more.
Additionally, the plugin lets you create a markup for your site’s footer and header sections as well.
Other features include the ability to create rich
video snippets for YouTube, field mapping, custom post, and WooCommerce
integration.
Because this is a premium WordPress rich snippets plugin, you’ll also get instructions on how to proceed with the installation of schema code. This includes health checks to access the quality of your markup.
This is another rich snippet plugin that’s
targeted towards review websites.
It lets you add your own ratings to the
schema code or ask your customers to leave their own.
And if you want to freshen up the look of
your snippets, you can pick from the thumbs, points, star, circle, or
percentage rating systems.
WP Review Pro also contains custom-designed widgets for integrating reviews into your footer, sidebar, and other widget-supported areas.
Plus, it’s capable of displaying a rating to
visitors hovering over a post’s thumbnail as they navigate your website. This
immediate data could help them make quick purchase decisions and can result in
increased revenue.
Other unique capabilities of WP Review Pro
include the ability to integrate Google Places, Facebook, and Yelp reviews.
This is all on top of the fact it gives you the option to create ‘comparison
tables’ featuring multiple products.
All other plugins mostly concentrate on schema markup – WP Review Pro goes a step further and ensures your website is optimized for readability, clicks, and conversions.
Pros
Simple
and easy-to-learn interface
19
