What’s the Full list of JSON-LD Structured Data/Schema Markup available in Squirrly?

Why JSON-LD?

JSON-LD makes data more accessible by annotating elements on a page, structuring the data. Not just for humans, but also for machines, the kind of machines Google is powered by. Google’s crawlers can overlook information that us humans might find vital.

By using JSON-LD, you can highlight various important details of your website to search engines.

Google uses JSON-LD structured data (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) that it finds on the web in order to understand the content of the page, as well as to gather information about the web and the world in general.

In terms of SEO, JSON-LD is implemented leveraging the Schema.org vocabulary. JSON-LD is considered to be simpler to implement, thanks to the the ability to simply paste the markup within the HTML document.

A JSON-LD example would be:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "url": "http://www.example.com",
  "name": "Your Company",
  "contactPoint": {
    "@type": "ContactPoint",
    "telephone": "+1-401-1111-1111",
    "contactType": "Customer service"
  }
}
</script>

JSON-LD structured data influences how Google will create rich snippets for your URLs. Google uses the JSON-LD for rich snippets and featured snippets and to populate the search results with more data from each website like Breadcrumbs, Reviews, Article data, or Company Info.

Does JSON-LD as a semantic SEO markup solution sound complicated?

Don’t worry, by using Squirrly, it becomes incredibly simple to implement. No coding skills required.

Local Restaurant Schema

If you have a local restaurant, you can use this to tell Google about:

  • your restaurant’s price range,
  • the type of dishes you serve,
  • and whether your restaurant accepts reservations or not.

Furthermore, if you have an online menu, you can link to it.

Breadcrumbs Schema

A breadcrumb trail on a page specifies the page’s position in the site hierarchy. This is useful in terms of helping users understand and navigate a site more effectively.
