If you have a Real Estate website, you need to rank higher to get more customers. SEO (Search engine optimization) is one of the best ways to rank higher on search result pages.
However, there are many types of SEO, and adding schema markup is one of them. Schema markup helps us increase our website ranking and CTR.
In this article, we will learn how you can easily add Real Estate schema to your WordPress website with a plugin.
What is Real Estate Schema?
To understand what Real Estate schema is, you have to learn what schema is. Schema, also known as structured data, is a type of microdata that helps search engines like google understand our website content more in-depth.
There are 80+ schema types out there like Recipe schema, product schema, FAQ schema, etc… RealEstateListing schema is one of them.
Let’s understand with an example:
I Googled homes for sale in Mumbai, and now you can see the results are appearing extraordinarily. You can see the BHK types like 2BHK, 3BHK, etc. Along with time lease, location, etc.
This is how Real Estate schema markup can help you stand out in SERPs.
Benefits of Schema Markup:
- Schema help increase CTR and Website traffic
- Better ranking in SERPs (Search result pages)
- Schema data help search engines understand our site’s content better
- Increase CTR by grabbing attention with rich results
Importance of Realestate Schema in SEO
There are 4 types of SEO techniques (On-page, Off-page, local, and technical SEO) to boost your website ranking on Google. Schema markup comes from the Technical SEO category.
Schema markup helps search engines to understand our website content better and can provide rich information to the searchers without entering the website as I mentioned earlier.
When Google has much info about your content, you are about to stand out to rank higher in SERPs (search engine result pages). When Google provides rich results of your blog pots or article, probably your site will get more clicks and it will increase CTR. And when your article or blog posts get more clicks amongst your competitor, your site ranks effectively for sure.
In my opinion, schema markup is a must-do thing for those who have a local business like a restaurant, services in a specific area, etc. It will help you bring more customers and leads.
