2. Which Schema Do We Use?
There are nearly an infinite
number of choices when it
comes to Structured Data.
Deciding which is right for you
can be difficult. Your goal
should be to find the right
combination for you. I try to
meet the following criteria
1) Lifts you above the pack
2) Offers better descriptions of
what your page offers
3) Biggest “bang for your
buck”
3. The problems you face
Problems
– Address city not the
same as nearest popular
city or city you DBA in
– Competing with a large
name-brand website
– A lot of local competition
– Everyone else has the
same style of search
result
