Submit structured data markup for your site to Google

Structured data markup is a standardized format for giving search engines detailed information about your page. Adding markup to your site's page can help improve your website's search results and ranking. Search engines can also use markup to create rich results like article previews, product previews, and FAQs for your site's search results.

Note:

Adding structured data markup to your site's pages does not guarantee that search engines will create rich results for them.

To get started with creating markup for your site's pages, we recommend using this markup generator tool. You can select a markup type from the dropdown menu and customize it for your content.
