Structured data transforms regular Google search listings into eye-catching rich cards. By following this guide on how to implement schema, you can increase your organic CTR by up to 35%.
Step 1: Select the Proper Schema Type
Determine whether your page represents an Article, FAQPage, Product, Recipe, or LocalBusiness. Using incorrect schema types can lead to manual action warnings in Google Search Console.
