Which schema types generate rich results in Google?

Google currently generates rich results for: FAQPage (expandable questions in results), HowTo (step-by-step guide in results), Product (price, availability, rating), Recipe (cook time, calories, rating), Review and AggregateRating (star ratings), Event (date, location, ticket link), Article (Top Stories eligibility), JobPosting (job details), Course, and LocalBusiness (Knowledge Panel).

How do I test if my page is eligible for rich results?

Run the Rich Snippets Tester on your page URL. It fetches the page, extracts all schema markup, validates it against Google's rich results specifications, and shows which rich result types your page is eligible for. It also shows any errors preventing eligibility.

How long does it take for rich results to appear after adding schema?

Rich results typically appear within 1-4 weeks of Google recrawling your page with valid schema. Request indexing in Google Search Console after adding schema to trigger a faster recrawl. Check the Rich Results report in Search Console to monitor status — pages move from 'Valid with warnings' to 'Valid' to appearing in search results as Google processes them.
