How can I show logo and website description as snippets in Google search result?
I tried reading on Rich Snippets but seems like there is no way to do this?
Do your part and correctly implement the Rich Snippets.
Create a sitemap and submit it on Google Webmasters so that Google finds and crawls your pages and detect the snippets in your markup.
Google then will decide when to show your snippets according to several criteria described in their Webmaster Quality Guidlines and Structured Data Policies.
Be patient. Stuff related to SEO take time but they are eventually fruitful.
Reference: Google Developers
According to Google’s documenation, the logo can only be shown for organizations (not as Rich Snippet, but possibly in the Knowledge Graph). It makes use of Schema.org’s logo property (on Organization).
It’s unclear what you mean with "website description", as Google displays a short snippet by default anyway (either taken from the page’s content, or from the meta-description).

When searching on Google, some organization details will display on the right side of the search result page that are realetd to my keywords.
Anybody knows how to display our data on that side?
See this example:
I found this great resource that goes into step by step instructions on how to do this. source: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-to-optimize-your-site-for-googles-answer-box/166084/
Here are the quick highlights:
To summarize, here’s what you should do if you have a website and want to get clicks from search in relation to a Google Answer Box.
Start by finding out if there is a Google Answer Box that relates to
content on your website or content that you could create for your
website, as shown in the examples above.
Create content that matches the Google Answer Box, goes into more
depth, and make sure it is using the correct markup.
Aim to be either the source of the Google Answer Box or the closest
to the Google Answer Box as you can get.
Make sure your page’s SEO title and meta description tell the
searcher you have even better information than the Google Answer Box
to encourage them to click on your link. Also, make sure it includes
the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
Build links to your Google Answer Box content using anchor text that
matches the Google Answer Box call to action (if you have software)
or the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
I am playing around with some free Wordpress plugins that automatically add schema. You can view more on SEO and other marketing help on my blog here: http://www.renowebdesigner.com
First, you need to have GMB Page for your website and make sure that your profile is 100% updated. It is called a knowledge graph. Basically, there are two types of graph,
Local Knowledge Graph
Branded Knowledge Graph
I hope that you have updated the following things on GMB page:
Business name
Business category & sub-category
Services which your offering
Contact num
Website link & appointment link
Explain about your business
Mark the exact location on the map
Add labels
To implement the knowledge graph for your business. I'm not aware of which website platform you're using.
Case1: If you're using WP website you can directly download knowledge graph plugin and update all your social links. At the same time make sure that your website doesn't have any issues. Check with structured data testing tool.
Case2: If you developed a website on another platform I request you to implement schema.org on the website with the help of the developer. The complete guide is available in webmaster tools.
Hope I have answered your question.
That’s coming from Google’s Knowledge Graph.
If you are the "authority" (e.g., for a search for "google", the authority is Google), structured data on your site can be used by Google to show more information in that sidebar. That would be Knowledge Graph cards (details). An example is Corporate Contacts.
I have done Google rich snippet work on my website As it shows all good in Google Structured tool but in Google results it does not show anything.
Please provide me information that how much time google will take to show structured data of my website on SERP ?
The time taken by Google to show rich snippet in its SERP depends on the time it takes to crawl your website once you have implemented rich snippet.
According to Google:
Once you've marked up your site's content, Google will discover it
the next time we crawl your site (although it may take some time for
rich snippets to appear in search results, if we do choose to display
rich snippets for your site). If you're marking up your content for
rich snippets, you can let us know. Google won't be able to
individually reply to your message, but we may use the information you
supply to improve our detection and display of marked-up content.
I was wondering how I could display the prominent pages (such as About, Contact Us, Pricing, etc) of my website when it is searched for in Google. Currently Google search result only shows the homepage of my website. I want it to display prominent pages underneath as well, something like this:
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks guys!
These are called Google Sitelinks. You can find Google's explanation here. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en
The process is automated, you cannot add sitelinks, but you can remove ones you think shouldn't be there when you see them, through Google Webmaster Tools.
As I have seen lots of rich snippets markup in search result which they have done with there individual (person) Google+ profile. And that's great.
So is it legal or not if I used my Google+ business brand profile for the same.
Please have look at the Google+ profile for more information

Thanks in advance.
I suspect you are talking about the author mark-up that can cause a Google+ provide to be added to a search results.
AFAIK business pages are not currently displayed in rich snippets.
You can define your Google+ business page as the publisher for your website. Maybe in the future this could cause rich snippets.

Of course it's legal. It's just that people are getting used to seeing real faces, and that's what I suspect most people are going to want to see.

I'm working with a simple app, that allows user to enter some text, then delegates it to the google.com, searching for this text. Something like a Google search bar in Firefox.
In Google toolbar, there is a feature: when you start typing the text, some snippets appear (sorted, as far as I understand, by the number of search results), that allow you to enter your text quickly by choosing one of the snippets.
My question is how can I retrieve these snippets from Google? Does Google provide any API for doing it? I've googled this question, but Google seems to provide a search API, and allows to retrieve search results, not snippets.
p.s. I would appreciate any links, related to the question, or tutorials, or code snippets or something. I am writing a simple WinAPI application in C/C++. Thanks in advance!
Looks like I've got it!
Google provide a simple, but handy REST API. You form a special URL, then send an HTTP request and receive a formatted list of necessary search suggestions. Looks like Google supports many formatting options, for example JSON and XML.
