Get Rich Snippets on Google’s SERP with Schema.org

HowTo

HowTo for software

HowTo rich snippets can be particularly useful for a software website to provide content and tutorials relating to their software. This also includes technology enthusiasts who would like to provide their own tutorials or software demonstrations. For example, creating a website using WordPress can be displayed in the HowTo type snippet displayed above.

Structured Data and HowTo

You must include the required properties for HowTo pages for your content to be eligible to display it as a rich result. Most websites are able to display HowTo rich results regardless if they have HowTo structured data, but this is no guarantee that yours will be displayed without the use of structured data. You can use the Structured Data Testing Tool to validate and preview your structured data. Please note that HowTo pages may not appear in all languages. The full definition of HowTo is available at Schema.
