What Is A Schema Markup?

If you are new to the word “schema markups”, don’t get frightened!

A schema markup is a code in the form of structured data that communicates the following information to the search engine:

• The meaning of your page,
• Elements in your page
• How users should see your page

Schema markups communicate to search engines in a language that search engines can understand.

The challenging part?

What is easy for search engines to understand may not be as simple for non techy founders like you and me to understand and implement.

Not to worry!

I have simplified it as much as I can in this article. And with the fact that I have managed to successfully implement it for my business, I am sure you can implement it for your business too…

So lets get to why Schema Markups are important before delving into how you can implement them:

Why Is Schema Markup Important for SEO?

The point of these markups is to communicate better with search engines. When Google understands your website on a deeper level, it serves better results to searchers. 

Items like rich cards, rich snippets, and the knowledge panel appear on Google Search Results page after collecting information from structured data.

While there is no evidence that schema will improve your rankings, it does provide a wealth of opportunities.

For example, a search result without sitelinks only gives searchers a title and meta description of the linked page:

However, a search result with sitelinks (schema markup installed) gives searchers the main linked page along with similar site pages that might interest them more:

If the user wasn’t attracted to click the title of your web page, there are still other chances to get them on your site with sitelinks.

In short, Schema Markups are meant to help search engines understand what your data means & attract users better to click on to your website.
