Structured data for local businesses: the minimum that matters

A small block of LocalBusiness data tells Google and AI tools your name, address, phone and hours without guesswork.

What it is

Structured data is a short block of code (JSON-LD) in your page that states facts about your business in a standard format from schema.org.

The minimum

Use the most specific type you can (Plumber, Dentist, Restaurant), with name, address, telephone, opening hours, URL and logo.

Keep it consistent

The same name, address and phone as on your page and your Google Business Profile.

What to expect

It makes your details unambiguous and can enable rich results. It doesn't guarantee a ranking or a mention.
