Structured Data

Standardised formats for providing information about a page and its content to search engines.

Structured data is a standardised format for providing information about a page and its content to search engines, using schema.org vocabulary. It helps search engines understand the context and meaning of content beyond just the text. When correctly implemented, structured data can unlock rich results in Google Search (FAQs, star ratings, breadcrumbs, how-to steps, product information). JSON-LD is the recommended format for structured data.
