Rich Snippet Not Detected by Google – Common Causes and Fix

Why is my Rich Snippet not detected by Google?

InfoSummary:
If your Trustindex rich snippet is not detected by Google (it does not seem to appear on the Rich Results test), it’s usually caused by a conflict with other structured data on the same page. When multiple rich snippets of the same schema type exist, Google will only use the one that loads first.


Why this happens

Your page may contain multiple rich snippets, and at least one of them uses the same schema type as the Trustindex rich snippet.

Google’s behavior in this case is important to understand:

  • If multiple structured data snippets of the same type are present,

  • Google will only consider the first one that loads.

  • Trustindex rich snippets load asynchronously, meaning they load after the page content.

  • Structured data generated by WordPress, themes, or other plugins usually loads first.

Because of this, the Trustindex rich snippet gets overridden and Google ignores it.

How to fix the issue

To make sure Google can detect the Trustindex rich snippet, you’ll need to remove the conflict.

You can do this by:

  • Disabling the overlapping rich snippet generated by:

    • your WordPress theme

    • an SEO plugin

    • another structured data plugin

  • Ensuring only one rich snippet of that schema type exists on the page

Once the page contains a single structured data snippet for that schema type, Google will be able to process and display it correctly.

Important note

Even if multiple snippets exist, Google Search Console may still show them as “detected.” However, detection does not guarantee that Google will use or display the rich snippet in search results.
