Beginning in mid-December, Google appeared to start out displaying extra product wealthy ends in the search outcomes for a lot of snippets even when these pages didn’t have product structured knowledge on them. Brodie Clark first posted about it on January twelfth (which we lined in our publication the day after) and Lily Ray and her co-worker, and so does Glenn Gabe posted screenshots of Google Search Console’s efficiency report displaying the uptick in mid-December.
Here’s what it seems to be like within the search outcomes, from Brodie:
Here’s a chart from Lily Ray displaying this present up within the Google Search Console look report for product wealthy outcomes beginning on December 13, 2021.
In reality, many are seeing the uptick mid-December:
New alternatives for publishers in producing merchandise opinions. These two websites began getting visitors from Product Wealthy Outcomes even when there wasn’t any Product-Associated Schema Markup on-page. The positive aspects align completely with Google’s Opinions Replace, launched on Dec. 2021. pic.twitter.com/QRndiViTzE

Yup, seems that is fairly widespread.
Simply checked a handful of shoppers who write product opinions/roundups *however do not use Product schema on these articles,* and so they’re all seeing an enormous uptick in “Product Wealthy Outcomes” on these pages in GSC starting on Dec 12/13. https://t.co/0DMFjXGjUh pic.twitter.com/AQJzZ7Hlpd

I see it too throughout a number of websites with opinions content material. Notice, most of the pages do have product structured knowledge, however some do not. So is that this only a reporting change in GSC, or did Google begin together with product wealthy snippets for extra opinions content material then? pic.twitter.com/ZVqGBCUqH1

As you possibly can see, Daniel Waisberg from Google stated he’ll look into it. But it surely simply looks as if Google, in mid-December, began to point out extra product wealthy outcomes for pages that should not have markup. We all know Google doesn’t want structured knowledge to do that, however the structured knowledge makes it simpler for Google to do it – nevertheless it is not at all times needed. In reality, the assist docs say “Product outcomes – Gadgets marked up with Product schema.org markup, or recognized as a product end result by another mechanism.” So that is “by another mechanism.”
It is usually value noting that Google did make a change to the way it measures evaluates and experiences errors in Product structured knowledge. Google wrote this in December 2021, and stated “consequently, you might even see adjustments within the variety of Product entities and points reported in your property, in addition to a change in severity of some points from errors to warnings.”
So once more, this all appears to line up and chances are you’ll begin noticing extra product wealthy outcomes, espesially round pricing, over the previous couple of months.
