Schema markup is a powerful add-on to your website once you understand how it can help your search engine visibility.

And best of all, very few competitors are adding schema to their website.

Now, let's learn about Schema for Webflow.

What is Schema in SEO terms?

Schema, short for schema markup, is a markup language that helps search engines better understand your website content.

There is no evidence that schema has a direct effect on organic search rankings.

But there is HUGE visual upside which has shown signs up increase click-thru rates.

Search engines like Google "may" use your schema to display some of this added information directly on search results pages.

Here's some examples:

Schema example for food recipe

Schema has a website but I explain schema markup as additional data tags that help web crawlers understand what your web pages contain.

For example, the word "bat" can have different meanings. It can be the tool used in baseball or it can be an animal.

In human conversation, it's easy for us to tell the difference. But for computers, it creates confusion because....well, we're still smarter and search engine algorithms aren't great at deciphering context! ha!

So schema makes it clearer to the search engine what bat you are referring to.

You are feeding search engines clear information about the content on your page that helps answers people's search queries.

And with this extra clarity, there's a good chance that Google will provide a more visual display of your web pages. 

Advantages of using Schema on your Webflow website?

While there is no directly impact on organic search rankings, the visual opportunities in SERPs (search engine result pages) are powerful.

And this becomes interesting for people searching.

If you selling products like gym gear, for example, Google can show important product attributes that might entice a searcher to learn more about your products.

Schema example for web shop product

These extra visual differences make your web page stand out, and appear to answer someone's question more head-on....which is great for getting more clicks.

And with more clicks, this will suggest to search engines that your page is performing great, and thereby increase your organic search ranking.
