It’s great that WooCommerce adds the main structured data to the products so that they are then displayed in the rich snippets of Google and other search engines.
Displaying these rich results usually brings a competitive advantage in SERPs, both in CTR and conversions.
But, it’s not always what you’ll want. Sometimes you’ll prefer to hide some or all of the structured WooCommerce product data, and if that’s your case, here’s how to do it.
