Add markup to your product pages so Google can provide detailed product information in rich Search results — including Google Images. Users can see price, availability, and review ratings right on Search results.

Using markup to enable rich product results lets you attract potential buyers while they are searching for items to buy on Google or images that include products you sell. Maintain the accuracy and freshness of your product information, so your customers find the relevant, current items they’re looking for.

This page explains how to mark up your product information so that Google can display rich results (previously known as rich snippets). There are two types of pages where you would typically use this markup:

  • a product page that describes a single product
  • a shopping aggregator page that lists a single product , along with information about different sellers offering that product

Product markup enables a badge on the image in mobile image search results, which can encourage more users to click your content.

Guidelines

Product rich results provide users with information about a specific product, such as its price, availability, and reviewer ratings. The following guidelines apply to product markup:

  • Use markup for a specific product, not a category or list of products. For example, “shoes in our shop” is not a specific product. See also our structured data guidelines for multiple entities on the same page.
  • Adult-related products are not supported .
  • Reviewer’s name needs to be a valid name for a Person or Team For example, “James Smith” or"CNET Reviewers." By contrast, “50% off on Black Friday” is invalid.

To include product information in Google Images, follow these guidelines for required markup:

  • To show your product information in the rich image viewer: Include the name , image , price , and priceCurrency properties.
  • To show your product information in the Related Items feature: Include the name , image , price , priceCurrency , and availability properties.

Structured data type definitions

You must include the required properties for your content to be eligible for display as a rich result. You can also include the recommended properties to add more information about your content, which could provide a better user experience.

Additional image guidelines:

  • Every page must contain at least one image (whether or not you include markup). Google will pick the best image to display in Search results based on the aspect ratio and resolution.
  • Image URLs must be crawlable and indexable.
  • Images must represent the marked up content.
  • Images must be in .jpg, .png, or. gif format.
  • For best results, provide multiple high-resolution images (minimum of 50K pixels when multiplying width and height) with the following aspect ratios: 16x9, 4x3, and 1x1.

For example:

“image”: [
“https://example.com/photos/1x1/photo.jpg”,
