For those who are new to rich card, earlier in May Google introduced rich cards which presented search results in a User Interface similar to carousels which can be scrolled right left ensuring rich user experience. By Implementing Rich Cards, you have an upper hand and a great exposure over pages which have not yet implemented Rich Cards resulting in more engagement and business.

This new update on Google rich cards presents a new opportunity to attract more engaged users to your page. Google officially said that “Users can swipe through restaurant recommendations from sites like TripAdvisor, Thrillist, Time Out, Eater, and 10Best. In addition to food, users can browse through courses from sites like Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, EdX, Harvard, Udacity, FutureLearn, Edureka, Open University, Udemy, Canvas Network, and NPTEL.”
