Rich result eligibility

Why it matters. Rich results (price, stars, breadcrumbs or event dates under your listing) make it bigger and earn more clicks than a plain blue link. An entity with missing required properties does not qualify.

How to fix it.
  1. Fix the properties listed under "required properties missing" first; eligibility follows automatically.
  2. Test the page with Google's Rich Results Test after the change.
