What is Structured Data
Structured Data (Schemas/Rich Snippets) & Feeds
• In layman’s terms, think of it as “signals” to tell search & social sites that utilize it, what kind of data you are giving them
6/25/2013
![Page 43: Social media + Local Search - Liana Evans- Digitizing](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54b58d314a79597c048b456b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Structured Data (Schemas) & Feeds
• Why Is It Important?
• When utilized in conjunction with tools like Webmaster Central, Site Maps & Social Data it can send more relevant information to both the search engines and social sites about the content on your site
• Why Should You Utilize It?
• Most Compelling Reason? Google appears to prefer sites that utilize it in their search results. Think about:• Recipes• TV Shows• How To Guides• Events
• Allow Your Content To BePresented In More Interactive Ways

• You’re sitemaps will have the structured data tags in them• Tag 3-5 pages and Google can figure out similar pages automatically
• Why Utilize It?• It’s Free!• You don’t have to be a programmer or know code!• Google highlights the structured data in snippets rather than randomly pulling a “snippet
description”
• Google Even Shows You How to Use It

• Photos – Pinterest, Flickr• Reviews – Yelp, TripAdvisor• Checkins – Yelp, Foursquare• Videos – YouTube, Vemeo
• Most Social Networking Site Allow You To Promote Your Social Content• Think of it as using “your” feed of “stuff” from their site, on your own• Free API Access• Widgets
• Guess What – This Data Is Usually Structured, or Can Be Easily Structured Easily
• Don’t Go Overboard!• Beware – Duplicate Content!
• Most of these sites have more clout than you!• Only pull enough content to “get the point across”• Utilize it to present your company as an authority & relevant

It’s About User Experience
• Don’t Misuse the Schema Tags• Google & Bing are smart, they realize when programmers are manipulating certain
structured data tags• If the data isn’t relevant, it won’t get clicked on, that’s a big signal to the search engines
• It’s About Presenting Your Content in the Best Way Possible• The more “interactive” a search result, the more clicks you get• The more “relevant” a search result, the more clicks you get• The more “authoritative” a search result, the more clicks you get
• “Signals” to Search Engines Help Them Understand YOU Better • Presents your site’s content in a more compelling manner to the user• When combined with feeds & sitemaps from other sites, it sends “signals” to the search
engines that you find the other site’s content relevant as well
• Remember it isn’t just “search” any more!• Social Networks• Mobile Apps
