Must

• Talk to the client/agency about doing semantic search audit and finding relevant opportunities

• Test existing ‘rich snippets’

• https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

Should

• Implement relevant schema Google already shows as ‘rich snippets’

• https://developers.google.com/structured-data/

Could

• Implement other relevant schemas and future-proof the site

• https://schema.org/docs/schemas.html

Would

• Sign up to relevant newsletters (Webmaster Central Blog, SEL)

• Track the performance of ‘rich snippets’

• https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home
