Product rich results in Search

Google has announced the addition of new metrics in the Search Console Performance report which will show data for product rich results on Google Search.

Rich results typically show more product information, such as description, price, availability and ratings.

The new metrics in Search Console will show clicks and impressions and can be segmented further by device, geography and queries. It will give webmasters insight into how well their products are performing in these rich results.
