Schema Markup
Only 31% of all websites use Schema markup, while the remaining 69% are leaving free traffic on the table.
But here's what no one tells you. Schema markup is no longer just for rich search results. It now determines whether artificial intelligence finds your content at all. Data tool runs entirely in your browser, all information you enter is not stored anywhere.
FAQ Schema
LocalBusiness Schema
1. Open Google Maps
2. Search for your business address → right-click → click on coordinates → copy.
Tip: Coordinates help your local findability.
Breadcrumb Schema
Why Schema markup becomes your secret SEO weapon
Google reads your website as plain text. A price of $299, an address, opening hours - to Google this is all random information without context. Schema markup completely changes this by telling Google exactly what each element means.
The result is impressive. You get stars in your search results, opening hours that stand out immediately, and FAQs that expand. This way you take up three times more space on the results page.
15 schema types that directly impact your visibility
The 5 basic schemas everyone should implement
