“JavaScript Object Notation… is an open-standard file format that uses human-readable text to
transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and array data types ” (Wikipedia)
JSON-LD (Linked Data) uses JSON in a specific context to enable Linked Data, and is used by
schema.org as a way to encode Structured Data.

- 3. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple What is Structured Data?
- 4. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Definition of Structured Data Structured data refers to any data that resides in a fixed field within a record or file. This includes data contained in relational databases and spreadsheets Source: Webopedia
- 5. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple What is Schema.org? Schema.org is a joint effort, in the spirit of sitemaps.org, to improve the web by creating a structured data markup schema supported by major search engines. On-page markup helps search engines understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results. Source: Schema.org
- 6. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple “If Google were to implement major search functions solely based on people implementing Schema correctly, it would be a very empty search engine”

- 8. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Example for King Castle Hotel – No Schema
- 9. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Example for King Castle Hotel – With Schema
- 10. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple But, There is a Difference in the Code
- 11. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple And, Also in the SERP
- 12. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Google’s John Mueller "One thing that you can do to test …. whether or not your site is high quality or not is to do a site: query to look at the pages that were indexed, and if the site query shows rich snippets in the search results, but the normal searches don't show it then usually that's a sign that from a quality point of view we don't quite trust your site perfectly yet.“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaSyuH2D7Mw&t=6m20s&t=6m2 0s
- 13. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Rich Cards
- 15. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Rich cards are a new Search result format building on the success of rich snippets. Just like rich snippets, rich cards use schema.org structured markup to display content in an even more engaging and visual format, with a focus on providing a better mobile user experience. https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/05/introducing-rich-cards.html

- 19. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple The Open Graph Protocol “The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook” Source: ogp.me
- 20. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple og:title - The title of your object as it should appear within the graph, e.g., "The Rock”. og:type - The type of your object, e.g., "video.movie".

Required on Every Page

- 42. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple Structured Data encoded in JSON-LD is placed in a SCRIPT block in the document HEAD. • Separates the content from the document BODY. JSON-LD Structured Data is not dependent on the HTML to be properly nested. Improper nesting of Structured Data is a common mistake Machines can read Structured Data content without parsing the entire document. How is JSON-LD used for Structured Data?
- 43. #SMX #22A1 @stonetemple • Microdata can be added to a document by placing attributes in the pertinent HTML tags • Familiarity with HTML is sufficient to implement Microdata • JSON-LD requires some amount of understanding of JavaScript or at least JSON More complex from a coding standpoint • Structured Data content exists both in the BODY HTML and in the HEAD HTML • Microdata turns the content in the BODY HTML into Structured Data For most sites, JSON-LD requires duplicating data What are the downsides of JSON-LD?
