It&#8217;s like feeding chopsuey to a 10 year old kid and asking that kid to identify each vegetable &#8211; it&#8217;s really tough (and not just because kids don&#8217;t like veggies!). But if you identify each vegetable to the kid, what it&#8217;s for, and then feed each one individually, the kid would be able to identify the veggies much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Search engines want to be fed in a structured manner where you would identify each ingredient to it. How Schema does it, is that it would categorize items in your website that it can describe to the search engines to categories. Let&#8217;s take the &#8220;Thing&#8221; item for example:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Thing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thing<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The most generic type of item.<\/span><\/div>\n<table cellspacing=\"3\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Property<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Expected Type<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Description<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"3\"><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/additionalType\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">additionalType<\/a><\/code><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">URL<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax &#8211; the &#8216;typeof&#8217; attribute &#8211; for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">description<\/a><\/code><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Text<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">A short description of the item.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">image<\/a><\/code><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">URL<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">URL of an image of the item.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/name\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">name<\/a><\/code><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Text<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The name of the item.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/sameAs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">sameAs<\/a><\/code><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">URL<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item&#8217;s identity. E.g. the URL of the item&#8217;s Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><em><code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/url\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">url<\/a><\/code><\/em><\/span><\/th>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><em>URL<\/em><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><em>URL of the item.<\/em><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can click on the links to check out their correlated properties and to know further details on how you can use these properties.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">This item type has properties such as additionalType, description, image, name, sameAs and URL. These properties are used to further describe to search engines what the item is all about. It also tells the search engines where to find more relevant information about the item by linking to the page that contains that specific info.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Take for example the property <code><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rev=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/domainIncludes\">image<\/a><\/code> &#8211; this is a URL that points to a source of the image of the item. A normal HTML code of an image will look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<pre><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">&lt;h2&gt;Site Speed&lt;\/h2&gt;\r\n&lt;img src=\"\/Speed-up-your-website-with-CDN.jpg\" \/&gt;<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Wherein integrating the Schema code, will make it look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<pre><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">&lt;div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"&gt;<\/span>\r\n&lt;h2 <span style=\"color: #339966;\">itemprop=\"name\"<\/span>&gt;Site Speed&lt;\/h2&gt;\r\n&lt;img src=\"\/Speed-up-your-website-with-CDN.jpg\" \r\n<span style=\"color: #339966;\">itemprop=\"contentURL\"<\/span>\/&gt;<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">What&#8217;s the difference?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The normal HTML code will tell the search engine that this is generally an image and its most probably about site speed and the file name of the image is speed-up-your-website-with-cdn.jpg. While the Schema code will tell the search engines that this is particularly a segment about an image and the name of the image is exactly &#8220;Site Speed&#8221; and the actual URL of the image file itself is &#8220;\/speed-up-your-website-with-cdn.jpg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Notice the difference? There&#8217;s one where the search engines would have to guess and rely on its semantic intelligence rather than being told particular details about what, where, when, how, etc. Making guesses from its semantic intelligence&#8217;s data gathering is not something that search engines would like to conclude from and therefore display to end-users. Search engines would rather have the particulars and facts &#8211; and show these to the end-users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Schema is exactly for that purpose. It makes search results richer and surer for the average searcher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">This is an important development because it makes the web a more comprehensive place for search engines. If Schema will continue on and become the norm in the code of all websites, it will make the search engines wiser by feeding it more data in a structured manner. It&#8217;s already happening now. Schema is being implemented in a good number of websites. You should too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">How does it affect SEO?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Consequently, search engines will be able to serve users better by churning out the structured data they&#8217;ve gathered into their search results page &#8211; usually in the form of rich snippets. Here&#8217;s an example of an event Schema in action:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Schema-Events-Rich-snippets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7029 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Schema-Events-Rich-snippets.jpg\" alt=\"Schema Events Rich snippets\" width=\"582\" height=\"397\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 582px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 582\/397;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The Schema code helps the average searcher by showing the scheduled event dates and locations right in the search results page and you can click on the specific event date and\/or location that you want to attend to. How this affects SEO is by first <strong>increasing your Click Through Rate with users<\/strong>. Rich snippets show relevant results in a manner that is useful, easily digestible and quick (the info is right on the SERP).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Another way that Schema affects SEO is a <strong>direct ranking increase<\/strong>.\u00a0Basically there&#8217;s a claim that feeding the search engines structured data, therefore helping them understand your webpages quicker, will result it ranking increase.Read <a title=\"Schema Microdata Case Study\" href=\"http:\/\/seovoom.com\/central\/structured-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jay Jersey&#8217;s case study on Schema microdata here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">How can I apply it to my website?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">There&#8217;s the easy, not-so-hard, and hard way.
