Schema markup is a great way to help your website stand out from your competitors in search engine results. Adding Schema markup to your website content will help improve the way your page displays on Google Search.
What is Schema Markup?
Schema markup, or structured data, is the language of search engines. It uses a very unique semantic vocabulary that helps search engines understand your content better.
Schema also shows people better, more accurate information in their Google search results. Schema enhances the rich snippets that you see displayed beneath the page title in search results on Google.
Schema Talks to Search Engine Robots
Schema communicates better with search engine robots by “speaking” to them in their own language. Local schema markup shares information about your business with search engines in a language they understand.
- Business name
- Brand image and logo
- Address, phone, hours
- Site menu to all of your pages
- Business type or category
- Local description
- Local services areas
- Links to your social media profiles
Search results that have schema help people make decisions faster. When they do a search on Google, they can see details of your page at a glance in the search results. This helps them decide whether they should click through to your website or choose a more relevant link (which could be your competition).
