If so, consider elevating your SEO strategy by leveraging Schema Markup.\nSchema Markup, also known as Structured Data, is a standardized vocabulary that helps search engines like Google understand the information on your web pages.\nWhat are the Benefits of Schema Markup?\nWhen your pages contain Schema Markup, it allows search engines and AI powered machines to gain a deep, semantic understanding of your website content, which offers a host of SEO related benefits for your business.\nSchema Markup also enables search engines to display your content as a rich result under certain circumstances. These rich results are displayed prominently on the SERP and include extra information about a page, like ratings and reviews of local businesses.\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13738\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=1001%2C301&ssl=1\" alt=\"Example of a Review Snippet\" width=\"1001\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1001w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-300x90.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-600x180.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-768x231.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-80x24.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-200x60.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-772x232.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 772w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-333x100.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-140x42.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-400x120.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-220x66.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-100x30.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-450x135.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-150x45.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-30x9.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-50x15.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=684&ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=912&ssl=1 912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/>\nHowever, as rich results come and go, the one thing that remains consistent is the semantic value of Schema Markup.\nHere are some of the top benefits of Schema Markup.\n1. Help Search Engines Better Understand Your Content\nHumans are great at inferring the meaning of online content. Google, on the other hand, has to teach its tech to understand your content using machine learning.\nThat\u2019s why search engines need extra help interpreting the meaning and intent of your site content. You can assist them by adding semantic Schema Markup to your web pages.\nSchema Markup is a standardized vocabulary developed by Google, Yandex, Yahoo, and Bing. As such, these search engines can easily interpret the Structured Data on your page, allowing the algorithms to present users with content that better aligns with their search intent. It also helps search engines be more efficient because their machine learning and algorithms are built to understand Schema Markup.\n2. Build a Knowledge Graph and Re-Use It Within Your Organization\nAt Schema App, we do more than just generate Schema Markup. We utilize our semantic technologies to generate connected Schema Markup to build a reusable marketing knowledge graph. This knowledge graph can then be used to inform search engines or train your LLMs using structured information about your business.\nWhen you implement connected Schema Markup, you are defining the objects in your content as individual entities with their own properties and relationships to other entities. Once defined, these entities can be connected with the people, places, things and concepts that other authorities have described like Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph. Your Schema markup can even enhance your Google Knowledge Panel in search.\nBuilding a knowledge graph using Schema Markup enables search engines to better understand the connections between your content, your organization, and other entities on the web. Search engines can use this information to infer new knowledge with greater context and accuracy.\nAt Schema App, we implement semantic Schema Markup and entity linking to assist customers in developing their knowledge graph. This knowledge graph enables search engines to effectively match your page with user search queries, driving higher qualified traffic and boosting click-through rates.\n3. Be AI-Search Ready\nSearch engines are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) to provide users with more relevant answers to their queries. By implementing Schema Markup, you can enhance search engines\u2019 understanding of your content. This, in turn, enables them to accurately match your content with your target audience, ensuring a more precise and effective user experience.\nIn Google\u2019s podcast titled, \u201cStructured Data, What\u2019s it all about?\u201d, Ryan Levering shared how machine learning and structured data go hand in hand. When you take into consideration that machine learning is the building block for AI, an action you can take to prepare for more AI in search (such as Bard and ChatGPT) is to adopt structured data to inform the machine learning about your content and have it be fully understood.\nBy using semantic Schema Markup to develop your knowledge graph, AI can tap into this resource and be grounded in more context. This provides them with a richer understanding of your brand and its associated entities.\nBy developing your knowledge graph, you are creating AI search-ready content.\n4. Control How Your Brand Appears in Search\nAdding Schema Markup to your web pages lets you exercise greater control over your brand\u2019s appearance in search, empowering you to shape and manage your brand image. One of the key advantages of implementing Schema Markup lies in its capacity to establish a robust control point within your Knowledge Graph, by enabling you to communicate essential information about your organization and entities directly to AI search engines.\nWithout structured data, search engines rely on algorithms to infer details about your business, which can lead to inaccuracies and misunderstandings. However, with Schema Markup, you take the reins, grounding and informing the AI systems with precise, structured data. By doing so, you mitigate the risk of search engine \u201challucinations\u201d \u2013 where the algorithms misinterpret or misrepresent your brand.\nImagine your website displays two prices for the same product: one for members and another for non-members. Left unchecked, AI search engines might not recognize the difference, potentially displaying incorrect information in the SERP.\nThis lack of differentiation can severely impact the trustworthiness and clarity of your brand. However, by clearly indicating which pricing you want displayed using Schema Markup, you can accurately communicate these distinctions, guiding search engines to present the correct pricing information to the users.\nSchema Markup is your safeguard against such discrepancies, ensuring your brand and products are accurately represented and preventing any potential confusion for users.\n5. Help You Stand Out in Search With Rich Results\nWhen Google understands your Schema Markup, it can use this data to show your content as a rich result (also known as rich snippets) on the SERP.\nA standard search result will deliver a title, URL, and meta description. However, rich results include captivating images that draw users\u2019 eyes to your search result and web page.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13276\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1\" alt=\"Before - After Schema Markup - FAQ Rich Result\" width=\"836\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App-80x30.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App-30x11.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App-50x19.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.2&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 167w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.4&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 334w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.6&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 501w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.8&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 668w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=1&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 836w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=2&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 1672w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Schema-App-Before-After-Schema-App.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=1920&resize=836%2C302&ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/>\nIn total, Google has more than 32 different types of rich results. You can classify your content as local business content, recipes, articles, event pages, and more. If you\u2019re promoting an event, you can improve its visibility by adding Event Structured Data, making your page eligible to appear in the event experience section on Google.\nOnce you add Schema Markup to your page, you can use Google\u2019s rich results test to see which rich result your page is eligible for. We also suggest using the Schema Markup Validator on Schema.org to detect any mistakes in your Structured Data.\nIf you want to ensure that your Schema Markup efforts align with your overall branding strategy, here are some examples of rich results you can consider using.\nReview Snippets\nReview snippets provide prospective customers with reviews and ratings from your past customers and help improve your brand\u2019s credibility in search results.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13738\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=804%2C235&ssl=1\" alt=\"Example of a Review Snippet\" width=\"804\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-80x24.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-140x42.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-100x30.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-150x45.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-30x9.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets-50x15.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.4&resize=804%2C235&ssl=1 321w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.6&resize=804%2C235&ssl=1 482w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=0.8&resize=804%2C235&ssl=1 643w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Example-of-Review-Snippets.png?strip=all&lossy=1&zoom=1&resize=804%2C235&ssl=1 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px\" \/>\nProduct\nProduct rich results reveal sought-after details like pricing, availability, etc. You can generate more leads and increase interest in your product offerings by providing consumers with this information on the SERP.

Drive Business Results\nSchema Markup is an SEO strategy that can provide your company with measurable results and a strong return on investment.\nYou can use tools like Google Search Console and Schema Performance Analytics to closely monitor how your newly marked-up pages are performing.\nWhen implemented strategically, Schema Markup can:\n\nHelp ensure that your content appears in search results for highly relevant queries. This means that the traffic you receive is more likely to be interested in your products or services, which leads to increased CTR and an overall higher likelihood of conversion and engagement.\nMake your search results more appealing and informative to users, leading to higher CTR. Rich results can provide users with additional information about your content, such as star ratings, prices, and product availability, making them more likely to click your link.\nBe particularly beneficial for local businesses. By marking up local business information, you can improve your visibility in local search results and map listings, driving foot traffic to your physical locations.\n\nAchieving robust results with Schema Markup isn\u2019t unusual. At Schema App, we\u2019ve seen customers across a wide range of industries achieve great results with this SEO strategy.\nFor instance, SAP saw a 400% growth in clicks from rich results after working with our team, and Sharp Healthcare enjoyed an 843% increase in clicks in just nine months.\nAs more businesses recognize the benefits of Schema Markup, implementing it can give you a competitive edge. Your content will stand out in search results and provide a more comprehensive, informative, and trustworthy experience to users.\n7.
