Use the rich product content [rich_product_content] attribute to provide rich product descriptions and media calling out special product features. The rich product content attribute uses structured data markup to customize the look and feel of media experiences. This attribute appears in the From the Manufacturer section and may be used to describe product features on Google Knowledge Panels.
When to use
Optional. Recommended for highlighting features on products to appear in the From the Manufacturer section.
Note that the rich product content [rich_product_content] attribute overrides the feature description [feature_description] attribute, and only the details mentioned in the rich product content attribute will be displayed.

Best practices
These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.
- Do not add manufacturer- or merchant-specific details, such as links, phone numbers, company information or promotional text.
- Make sure that grammar, capitalization, and punctuation are complete and consistent within headlines and text.
- Do not repeat the same image.
- Before submitting an image, test some of your image links using the Fetch as Google tool, which is available through Google Search Console. If you’re submitting a lot of new images, using this tool on a few links can help you detect issues before submitting images. Once you submit your image, it will be crawled within 3 days.

- If you need to change an image of an existing product, submit a new URL for the new image. When you submit a new URL, the image will be crawled within 3 days. Keep in mind that if you change the image, but keep the same URL, it might take up to 6 weeks to detect and then crawl the new image.
