Schema is an HTML language that provides a format for structuring data to be universally recognized by all search engines. It is a type of structured data that can be added to a webpage to increase the likelihood of a website showing up as a rich snippet in the search results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-our-blog-post-on-the-different-types-of-search-results-produced-by-schema-markup\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/identifying-the-new-search-landscape\/\">Read our blog post on the different types of search results produced by schema markup<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-benefits-of-structured-data-for-seo\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Benefits of Structured Data for SEO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using structured data on your website helps increase your website&#8217;s visibility in the search landscape by providing the search engines the information needed to occupy one of the search result enhancements or even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/identifying-the-new-search-landscape\/\">featured snippet or knowledge panel<\/a>. Structured data also allows the search engine to better understand and rank rich media in the search landscape since rich media formats can be difficult for search engines to understand. To occupy a featured snippet or knowledge box, the search engines pull from structured data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you are giving users information about your company up front, when they click through, they are already more invested in doing business with you. This means your clickthrough rate as well as conversion rate are likely to be higher and of better quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-benefits-of-structured-data-on-mobile\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Benefits of Structured Data on Mobile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year more and more users are performing searches on mobile. Because there is limited screen space on mobile devices, showing up in a featured snippet or rich result can have a huge impact on a website&#8217;s performance in the search landscape. Adding structured data to your website can increase the likelihood of your website appearing in a featured snippet. These snippets help companies dominate the real estate on the search landscape and stand out on mobile by pushing competitors further down the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image.png 600w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.topspotims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Structured-data-mobile-image-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-what-does-this-mean-for-me\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>What Does This Mean For Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at the space your website occupies in the search landscape, it&#8217;s good to understand the hows and whys behind what you are seeing.
