What is structured data?

Structured data is code in a specific format, written in such a way that search engines understand it. Search engines read the code and use it to display search results in a specific and much richer way. You can easily put this piece of code on your website.

There are all kinds of structured data. Structured data is always a code format. There’s structured data for books, for reviews, for movies, and for products in your online store, for instance. In all cases, structured data adds more details to your snippet in the search results.

$eventDispatcher->listen(\Vdlp\SchemaOrg\Classes\Events\FetchStructuredData::class, static function () {
    return \Spatie\SchemaOrg\Schema::localBusiness()
