According to Google:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a page and classifying the page content; for example, on a recipe page, what are the ingredients, the cooking time and temperature, the calories, and so on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it simply, structured data is what helps Google understand the content of your page by giving it explicit clues about its meaning. Let&#8217;s take a product page from an e-commerce site as an example. Such a page will include information like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>name<\/li><li>price<\/li><li>description<\/li><li>features<\/li><li>customer reviews<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When the data is unstructured, Google doesn&#8217;t recognize which is which &#8211; this can be fixed by adding markups. If Google understands what is written on a page and what it&#8217;s about, it can include more information in the search result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, when you structure the information on your site with a semantic vocabulary of tags (for instance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/technical-seo\/schema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schema<\/a>, or Schema.org), you are allowing the search engine bots to organize it and display it in a more creative and effective way &#8211; for example, by adding images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structured data is an important factor that can help you in ranking higher. As several studies proved, websites that have extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/rich-snippets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rich snippets<\/a> (created through Schema) are placed higher than those that don&#8217;t have it. This means that if you aren&#8217;t using structured data on your website, you might be missing the opportunity to land in that first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are the Formats of Structured Data?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/get-started-using-schema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"417\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/structured-data-SEO-get-started-using-schema.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39570 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/structured-data-SEO-get-started-using-schema.png 776w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/structured-data-SEO-get-started-using-schema-768x413.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 776px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 776\/417;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>How to Boost Your SEO by Using Schema Markup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are several ways in which you can markup structured data on your page, here are the most common ones used in Google:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>JSON-LD <\/strong>&#8211; this is the most popular structured data markup used in the page&#8217;s header.<\/li><li><strong>RDFa<\/strong> &#8211; also known as Resource Description Framework in Attributes; it is mostly recommended for embedment of RDF statements in HTML, XHTML, and various XML dialects. Commonly used in both the body and the header.<\/li><li><strong>Microdata<\/strong> &#8211; this type of structured data works with HTML5. It is used to highlight items and values on a page within the &#8216;itemtype&#8217; and &#8216;itemprop&#8217; HTML attributes.

These usually included search result enhancement, and content-specific features, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>rich search results <\/strong>&#8211; styling, images, and other things that make a search result more visually appealing<\/li><li><strong>rich cards <\/strong>&#8211; a variation of rich search results; very similar to rich snippets, focused on providing a better mobile user experience.<\/li><li><strong>knowledge graph<\/strong> &#8211; information about an entity, for example, brands, objects, events, or concepts<\/li><li><strong>breadcrumbs<\/strong> &#8211; triggered by informational search queries and accompanied by images<\/li><li><strong>carousels<\/strong> &#8211; a collection of multiple rich search results<\/li><li><strong>rich results for AMP<\/strong> &#8211; if you want to have your Accelerated Mobile Pages appear with rich results and in carousels, you need to have structured data implemented<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All these features help in<strong> improving the CTR<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/google-ads\/answer\/2615875?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click-through rate<\/a> &#8211; of your website and drive additional traffic.
