Local Schema & Rich Results Audits: Improve Local Visibility & Search Credibility
Why Schema Markup Matters for Local SEO?
Search engines don’t just crawl your site—structured context is needed to inform them about your business, services, and reputation. That’s where schema markup comes in. Schema is literally “search engine language” that provides context about your business so Google can display your content in rich results, featured snippets, and the Local Pack.
Inaccurate, absent, or inconsistent schema can decrease your visibility, whereby even if your site ranks well in organic search, your prospects may not be aware of your products.
In addition to visibility, schema informs Google’s E-E-A-T criteria—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Structured data such as AboutPage, Organization, and Review markup signals to Google that your company is authoritative, trustworthy, and credible within your local business geography.
