Has anyone ever had any success with getting a non-AMP-encoded page to appear in Google search as a Rich Result using either the Article or BlogPosting Schema.org Item Type? I tried with numerous different blog posts to get a Rich Result in Google searches that the posts rank Position #1 for but have never had any luck. Each time I made sure to include all of the required and recommended types. Even after referencing the URLs in a Schema.org Carousel placed in the source code of the blog homepage - as suggested - the blog posts' pages never appear in Google results with their associated image or in a news carousel.

Google claims in 1 that AMP isn't required for an Article/Blogposting-encoded page to be featured as a Rich Result, but again I have never seen it happen. Can anyone cite such an example?

Searching Google for "install ram" has an article carousel. Two of the articles in it are not AMP and have no AMP version.

I verified these with Google's AMP test.

  • I think I was able to replicate what you saw - is this it?: i.imgur.com/tGY7xYp.jpg But is a Featured Snippet the same thing as a rich result for a non-AMP page with Article structured data? I'm not sure they are - Google has a separate answer for Featured Snippets: support.google.com/websearch/answer/… What's the difference? Well, maybe Google considers the page that gets a Featured Snippet sort of an authority while a rich result for an Article page could just be a topical inclusion.

  • Yes, that is what I'm seeing. From moz.com/blog/exploring-carousel-featured-snippet

  • Thank you for confirming. Still, that Moz article doesn't even mention structured data or Schema.org. hmm...

  • What type of rich result do you actually have in mind? If you are talking about the "Top Stories" news carousel, I believe that one is powered by Google News which has its own set of requirements: moz.com/blog/how-to-get-into-google-news

  • See, this is where it gets confusing. I want to call them simply (article) rich results because "rich results" is the closest category I've seen inside Search Console: i.imgur.com/SdjapvE.png That list of categories appears under the Search Appearance report, of course. I've never seen an Articles enhancement report and I don't believe they exist: search.google.com/u/2/search-console/…
