Breadcrumbs are a secondary navigation element that shows users their current location within a website's hierarchy. For example: Home > Services > Web Design for Restaurants. Breadcrumbs improve user experience by making navigation clearer, and they improve SEO by helping search engines understand site structure. When implemented with BreadcrumbList schema markup, they appear directly in Google search results.
