Schema markup is microdata in SEO. This code provides important information to search engines like what is the website name, address, phone number, and author of the website. This code provides makes search engines easy to understand what exactly the website is all about. For search engines website is like a text file that contains lots of texts so to understand which is phone number, address this code helps. Here is an example of the basic form of schema markup :

{ “@context”=http://schema.org/,

“@type”:” website”,

@type means what is the type of this property ie website (telling the search engine that property name is a website)

Schema code is to be present in the body section of the website.

Type of schema encoding types

There are mainly three types of schema codes which means encoding types.or the syntax for a webpage these are : RDFa, Microdata, JSON-LD. Here I will explain with local business schema with all three prototypes :

Local Business: Business Name

Description: Business Description

Address: B-84 Street No-4 ABC Road Delhi-110091 India

Here: PostAddress is: B-84 Street No-4

stressAddress : B-84 Street No-4

address locality : ABC Nagar

address region : Delhi

address country : India

postalCode: 110001

Phone Number : 123456789

Rdfa Schema Syntax It Stands for Resource Description Framework in Attributes.

RDFa uses three tags vocab, typeof and property

<h1><span property=”name “>Business Name</span></h1>

<span property=”description”>Business Description</span>

<span property=”stressAddress”> B-84 Street No-4</span>

<span property=”address locality”> ABC Nagar </span>

<span property=”address region”> Delhi</span>

<span property=”address country”>India</span>

</div>

Microdata Schema Syntax :

Microdata Tag contains : itemscope, itemtype and itemprops its little complicated.

<h1><span itemprop=”name”>Business Name</span></h1>

<span itemprop=”description”>Business Description></span>

<span itemprop=”streetAddress”> B-84 Street No-4</span>

<span itemprop=”address locality”> ABC Nagar </span>

<span itemprop=” address region”> Delhi</span>

<span itemprop=” address country”>India</span>

</div>

Last but not least JSON LD Schema Code: JSON LD stands for JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. This prototype has attributes like @context and @type. This prototype is recommended by Google. It is easily readable and can be added and removed with ease.

{ @context”:” https://www.schema.org/”,

“@type”: ”LocalBusiness”,

“name”: “Business name”,

“image”:” Image URL”

“address”: {

“@type”: ”PostalAddress”,

“streetaddress”: “ B-84 Street No-4”,

“address locality”: “ABC Nagar”,

“address region”: “Delhi”,

“address country”: “India”,

“address postalcode”: “110091”,

} } </script>

What Type of Structured Data in Seo Is Right for You?

I would suggest JSON-LD. It is recommended by Google. Search engine support this schema type. Schema markup is very important for your website or webpage because it helps to rank, if not leads to decreasing its rank on SERP.
