What this markup does
A search engine reading your home page sees text. It can probably work out that you're a bakery in Pune, but "probably" is the problem. Structured data removes the guess: it states, in a vocabulary every search engine shares, that this page belongs to a Restaurant named Rao's Bakery, at this address, open these hours, with these profiles elsewhere.
That matters more now than it used to. AI assistants answering "a good bakery near Koregaon Park" are assembling facts about businesses, and the ones they can read without guessing are the ones they can state with confidence.
What the generator produces
- Your business —
LocalBusinessor the more specific type you pick, with only the fields you filled in. An empty field is left out, never filled with a placeholder. - Your website — a
WebSiteentry linked to the business, so search engines connect the two. - Your questions — an
FAQPageblock, if you add any. Put it on the home page only: the same questions marked up on every page is duplicate markup.
Getting the details right
- Opening hours use schema.org's short form: two-letter days, 24-hour times.
Mo-Sa 09:00-21:00is Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm. Add a line for each different pattern. - Your profiles — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, your Google Maps listing — go in
sameAs. They tell search engines that these accounts and this website are the same business. - The phone number should match your Google Business Profile exactly, including the country code. Consistent details across the web are a local ranking signal.
- The logo should be a square PNG or JPG of at least 112×112 pixels; Google often rejects SVG logos.
After you paste it
Test the page in Google's Rich Results Test, then give it time — Google picks up structured data the next time it crawls the page. If your details change, update the markup the same day: markup that contradicts the page is worse than none.
Structured data tells search engines who you are; your title and description are what people actually see. And if you want assistants to read the rest of your site, check they're allowed in.
