Rich Snippets Using Structured Data

Snippets created using structured data can help in accurately indexing and can even enhance your lists.

In order to provide more information to search engines other than content webmasters use snippets. This is structured data is a standardised format which helps in providing explicit clues to search engines. This is because each and every individual characteristic of topic is labelled separately.      

In order to create structured data snippets there are many formats available standardised by Schema.Org. 

For example you can add your location in the website may be in the footer. The visitors will understand this perfectly well. But the search engines may not....  Using Schema markup you can successfully tell search engines the location in a coding they understand more accurately.  

There are many tools available to be embedded into a webpage with detailing tags. The code is generated using tools and plugins for WordPress.    

When adding properties in data highlighter please be succinct adding just enough for informative snippet.

Structured Microdata - Schema

Google may soon incorporate structured data using vocabulary provided by schema.org in its ranking algorithms. By incorporating the markups one can enhance the search friendliness of one's site. The types of format used are JASN-LD which is the latest introduced and is more script friendly . The other formats are RDFa and Microdata.  
 
The schema creates a machine readable language easily understood by the algorithms. The mark up is embedded in HTML documents. 

Attribute to define an item is called itemscope while its property is defined as itemprop. Types are defined as itemtypes. 

For Local Search 

Itemscope is used to define the item that is in this case a person
<section itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
 
Like wise itemprops are used to define properties of that person i.e name, address, work profile. The address would fall under itemtype. 

This vocabulary is also supported by other search engines.

The mark up data is also used for businesses, events etc.

Here are some examples 

Organization Schema Markup be sure to add the logo, corporate address and social profile (Links).

Website Schema Markup   this helps generate sitelink search box feature provided the utility is there on the website.  

Breadcrumbs Schema Markup helps generate breadcrumb rich snippets.   

Site Navigation Markup helps SEs understand your site structure and navigation.  

Video Markup using Schema for sites with video embedded it displays rich video snippets.

Schema could also be used for local business, restaurants, ratings, offers, person and more.
