Why Me? Why Schema and Structured Data?
I completed a project in 2017 that cleaned up and enhanced the
structured data across 7,000 automobile websites. This included
enhanced product markup, business markup for 10 different OEMs
and dealership review markup.

WHAT POWERS A
RICH SNIPPET?
@cdawg2610
Structured data is a standardized format
for providing information about a page and
classifying the page content; for example,
on a recipe page, what are the ingredients,
the cooking time and temperature, the
calories, and so on.

Featured Snippets – let’s level set
No two searches or searchers will return the same results. This is
Google’s world, we are just living in it.
“Featured Snippets” may come and go, but good content never goes out
of style
There is not a magical button, list, code or thing you can do to guarantee
a featured snippet.
