Structured data, also known as schema markup, is a type of code added to your website that helps search engines like Google understand the content on your pages more clearly. When implemented correctly, it can enhance your appearance in search results with rich snippets — for example, showing review stars, product prices, stock levels, and FAQs directly in Google listings.

Why It Matters:

• Boosts Click-Through Rate (CTR): People are more likely to click on search results with rich snippets.
  
• Improves SEO: Helps search engines understand your site better, which can improve rankings over time.
  
• Adds Trust and Social Proof: Displaying review stars and product info builds credibility.
