Schema helps search engines understand your business entity, services, and location context more accurately.

Start with LocalBusiness fields

Name, address, phone, opening hours, and service area should be complete and consistent with GBP.

Add Service markup for core offers and align descriptions with real landing pages.

Use sameAs and internal linking to tie brand, location, and service pages together.

Run schema validation and monitor enhancements in Search Console after indexing updates.
