Structured Data for Local Businesses: LocalBusiness, Service & FAQ Schema Explained

A practical guide to using LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema to describe real business information, services, and visible answers accurately.

What this page covers

  • Use LocalBusiness schema for verified business facts
  • Match Service schema to a real, canonical service page
  • Keep FAQ schema visible, accurate, and useful to buyers

Schema should support real evidence

Structured data helps search engines interpret what a business offers, but it does not create local relevance by itself. Keep locations, services, and URLs aligned with visible, accurate page content and verified business details.

Avoid using schema to manufacture location relevance
