RICH CARDS
Improve your website appearance in Mobile organic search with new Rich Cards available from Google. Increase your visibility with Rich Cards and you can draw more traffic to your online store.
Rich cards use scema.org structured markup to display your content, like rich snippets, but in a more attracting and visual way on mobile devices. Information is structured based on the schema agreement, this way Google knows what information to read and from where.
Google will discover structured data the next time it crawls your site (although it may take some time for rich cards to appear in search results). When Google algorithms discover technically correct markup on a page, they use a variety of signals to determine when to show rich cards.
