Local Schema & Rich Results Audits: Improve Local Visibility & Search Credibility

Your business must be found by local consumers at the correct time. With schema markup optimization, accurate structured data, and rich result readiness, you can assist your site in communicating effectively with search engines and attract highly qualified leads.

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.

Our Local Schema & Rich Results Audits fill gaps, fix mistakes, and ensure your site complies with Google’s quality guidelines, setting you up for improved local search performance and greater user trust.

On-Page SEO Optimisation Services

In today's competitive digital landscape, good looks are not enough to secure online space. Your website's success rests in the way each element is optimized for search engines and end-users. On-Page Optimization refers to the process of optimizing individual pages on your website to make them higher in the search engines and deliver a great experience to your visitors.

Technical SEO Services

Technical SEO is the backbone of every successful website. Content, design, and marketing strategies are important but can only perform fully if your website’s technical foundation is optimized. Technical SEO involves optimizing both website and server-side elements so search engines like Google can crawl, read, and index your website efficiently.

Our Process: Audit to Implementation

At Jamil Monsur, an audit is only the beginning. Our step-by-step methodology ensures your site is fully optimized for maximum visibility and local search performance.

Step 1: Initial Data Review & Scope Definition

Using Google’s Rich Result Testing Tool, Schema.org validation, and manual checks, we identify technical errors, missing properties, or misaligned schema. This ensures compliance with Google’s structured data guidelines and prevents potential ranking penalties.

Consistency is critical for local search. We verify that Name, Address, Phone (NAP), and geolocation information are accurate across your website, Google Business Profile, and key directories. This removes conflicting data that could hurt Local Pack rankings.
