Rich Results are enhanced search results that display additional visual or interactive features beyond the standard blue link and snippet. In the context of AEO, they help answers stand out by providing more detailed and engaging information directly in the search engine results page (SERP).

Rich Results improve the visibility and attractiveness of answers in search results, increasing the likelihood that users will click on them. They provide a richer user experience by showing images, ratings, FAQs, or other relevant data, which can lead to higher engagement and better answer delivery.
In Answer Engine Optimization, Rich Results are achieved by structuring content with schema markup or other metadata that search engines recognize. This helps search engines understand the content better and display it in enhanced formats like carousels, review stars, or detailed answer boxes.
Common examples include recipe cards with images and cooking times, product listings with prices and reviews, FAQ sections directly in the results, and event details with dates and locations. These examples show how Rich Results provide more context and value to users.
