Open the editor and reach the end of the page where you will find the Configure Rich Snippet Option. Find out the category of your post, like it is a blog or article. 

After selecting the post category, you will see further options. For example, options like article image, article name, short description, author name, etc., will be there. 

You can fill as many fields as you want. Available options can vary depending on the type of post, and you are the one to consider which are essential to be filled. Some of them will be quite simple, like the title will be already there in the post. 

Test Your Work

After generating rich snippets for one of your posts, the next step is to check if it is working the way you wanted it to. There is a tool named Google Structured Data Testing Tool which can be used to test your rich snippets. 

Type the URL of your post, and the tool will check if the markup has been successfully added to the blog post or not. When the tool finds some problems, a preview option page will appear. When you click on the preview option, the rich snippet added by you will appear the way it will appear in Google search results. 

If everything looks good, you can save and work on other posts you want to add the schema markup. You can detect errors and edit them if the tool shows something that you would not like to display in your rich snippets. 

It is advised that you must add rich snippets to all your most popular posts to drive more traffic. If you are working on the niche which is good to create rich snippets, there is no way you should avoid them. With a good meta description, the snippets can bring better traffic to your website.
