How do you get these sitelinks in the SERPs?

How do you get these to appear - http://imgur.com/xV5LA6E Does a website have any control over what appears?

I would start marking anything and everything you can, that makes since to. I mean the Big three have all said that it is the future of the web, so why not start now. I would say top priorities would be marking up things that are already showing in the SERPS... products, prices, reviews, ETC. I think that breadcrumb makes a lot of since to mark up since it could be easily used by a Crawler to understand site structure.

I have heard mixed things on schema.org. Is it worth going through your site and doing that? I work for an ecommerce site. Should we do every page or just category and item pages (our landing pages)?

To my knowledge these site links are links Google's algorithm has decided to display. To directly answer you question there is no magic bullet to get them to display, but here is a list of things that might influence Google's decision to display them. Hope this helps
- Make a site with a clear hierarchy that Google's crawler can easily navigate
- Offer a sitemap to your users with links that point to the important parts of your website
- Create a useful, information-rich, quality content
- Use text instead of images to display links
- Make sure that your title tags and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate
- Check for broken links
- Use anchor text and alt text that is informative and relevant on internal links
- Include your most important pages in main menus
- Use a breadcrumb's and mark them up with Schema.org
Additionally once you have site links showing you can manage them (tell Google to ignore ones you don't want) through Webmaster tools. Good Luck!

Hello Niners,
There's very little control over this... Via webmaster tools you can demote a sitelink, but you can't tell Google which pages to choose. You can also turn the feature off altogether (though WHY someone would want that is beyond me...)
I guess you have control over the hierarchy of your site, so you could influence the sitelinks, but I don't really know how you'd go about doing this....
Best of luck,
Amelia

Why does the order of the keywords affect my SERP? And what can I do to improve?
Hi all, So, if you google "london life coach" my site appears #2 (www.nickhatter.com) But if you google "life coach London" my SERP seems to fluctuate between #3 up to #6. If you google "life coach in London" my SERP is a solid #2/3. I don't get it all. Would someone care to explain? Also, if you have any tips on how I might improve the EAT of my website please do feel free to weigh in! Many thanks,

Geographical Results in Universal SERPS
Hi Moz Pros! I have been reading on the board for quite some time, despite all the insights you all share with us in the SEO world. I have a nut I can't crack and thought I would ask. Does any guru here know the factors google uses when they choose sites to add to GEO specific SERPS on a general query? Here is an example. "Car insurance companies" Also attached. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNRvHrdh6z6sNatu-Pgbh-tbgiiQLQ%3A1569462097607&ei=UReMXbPfJIfwtAX_77aYCQ&q=car+insurance+companies+&oq=car+insurance+companies+&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i71l8.321.321..471...0.2..0.0.0.......0....1..gws-wiz.8MmdfVjHrt4&ved=0ahUKEwjzy8P2re3kAhUHOK0KHf-3DZMQ4dUDCAs&uact=5

Having problem with multiple ccTLD sites, SERP showing different sites on different region
Hi everyone, We have more than 20 websites for different region and all the sites have their specific ccTLD. The thing is we are having conflict in SERP for our English sites and almost all the English sites have the same content I would say 70% of the content is duplicating. Despite having a proper hreflang, I see co.uk results in (Google US) and not only .co.uk but also other sites are showing up (xyz.in, xyz.ie, xyz.com.au)The tags I'm using are below, if the site is for the US I'm using canonical and hreflang tag :https://www.xyz.us/" />https://www.xyz.us/" hreflang="en-us" />and for the UK siteshttps://www.xyz.co.uk/" />https://www.xyz.co.uk/" hreflang="en-gb" />I know we have ccTLD so we don't have to use hreflang but since we have duplicate content so just to be safe we added hreflang and what I have heard/read that there is no harm if you have hreflang (of course If implemented properly).Am I doing something wrong here? Or is it conflicting due to canonicals for the same content on different regions and we are confusing Google so (Google showing the most authoritative and relevant results)Really need help with this.Thanks,

Serp Stars?
Is there anyway of getting the Stars to show up for a home page? The issue is that 70% of our traffic goes to our home page and while we have stars for the product pages this only covers 30% of our traffic the other 70% goes to our home page and due to this not being a product page it does not have them. Would selling the product direct on this page allow us to have them? I appreciate any help.

Images not appearing in Google Images SERPS
Hi there We pushed a new version of our website live more than 6 months ago. So far, none of the images that are in the product gallery on this page http://www.ingleandrhode.co.uk/bespoke-rings/inspiration/ are appearing in the Google Images SERPS (I tested this by searching Google Images for "site:www.ingleandrhode.co.uk"). I understand that the gallery uses Javascript, so Googlebot doesn't see the image files in the HTML, but in Webmaster Tools, if I "fetch as Google" with rendering, this suggests that Googlebot does see the gallery images. My website developer tried adding an image sitemap about two weeks ago, which is being indexed, but so far this hasn't made any difference. Any suggestions on what needs to be done for these gallery images to start appearing in Google Images SERPS? Many thanks!

Do you get links from new websites?
There's a new industry specific website that looks decent. It's clean and nothing spammy. However, it's so new it's DA is under 10. Is it worth pursuing a link from a site like this? On one hand, there's nothing spammy and it is industry specific. On the other...it's just DA is so terrible (worse than any of our other links), I don't want it to hurt us. Any thoughts? Ruben

I have a website: www.letsflycheaper.com with a Domain Authority of 80, and my target keywords are keywords like: cheap business class, business class flights.
My target page is: www.letsflycheaper.com/business-class.php. With all my keywords I am page 2 and I have a real hard time getting on the first page, but if I look at my competitors like: www.wholesale-flights.com with a Domain Authority of 'just' 50, crappy backlinks and so on, they are all on the first page with almost all of my keywords that I want to target. What do I do wrong? Can you maybe give me a couple tips on where I should focus on more? Hopefully you guys can help me... Kind Regards, Ramon van Meer0
