What is Structured Data?

Key Definition

Structured data is a standardized way of providing information about a webpage and classifying its content to help search engines understand context and meaning.

Structured data is code that you add to your website's HTML to help search engines understand the context and meaning of your content. It uses a shared vocabulary called schema.org, which was created by major search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex.

Schema.org Vocabulary

Founded by: Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Yandex

Purpose: Standardize structured data markup

Types: 800+ schema types available

Format: JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa

Usage: Embedded in HTML pages

Benefit: Enhanced search results

Rich Results Impact

Properly implemented structured data can result in enhanced search results including rich snippets, rich cards, knowledge panels, and featured snippets that significantly improve click-through rates.
