Schema Markup
Structured code added to your website that helps search engines understand your content better.
Why It Matters
Schema markup enables rich results like star ratings, FAQs, and product info that increase click-through rates.
How It Works
You add JSON-LD or microdata markup to your pages following the schema.org vocabulary. Search engines read this structured data to generate enhanced search result displays called rich snippets.
Real-World Example
Adding FAQ schema to a blog post triggers expandable FAQ results in Google, increasing SERP real estate.
Common Mistakes
Adding schema without testing in Google Rich Results Test
Using schema types that do not match the page content
