In the previous episode schema was mentioned as a way to optimise a page for keyword relevancy. In this episode I explore in more detail what schema is, and in particular what you can do with article schema.
Schema is a type of coding language that you put into the HTML of your website that better communicates to search engines what your website/page is all about. It also allows search engines to pull additional information into the search engine results - for example: pricing, stock availability and location information.
Schema resources
- Article schema is one of many types of schema you can apply to you website - schema.org hosts an array of schema that could be relevant for your business.
- In this episode I head over to this Google Developers article to extract the schema code.
- I also use Google's structured data testing tool to validate the code and update the core components to be unique to my content.
