Schema Data: What is it and why do you need it?

Schema data is a universal code created in conjunction with Google, Bing and Yahoo that tells search engine algorithms with specificity who, what, why and when. Basically Schema tags tell a search engine algorithm your business name, business address, business phone number, if you’re a local business, what type of business, product or service that you offer and much much more.

Todays intelligent voice devices along with rich snippets you see online in search results are all powered via Schema.

Power rich experiences.

Intelligent services are answering questions about your brand every day by providing reviews, locations, people and events as structured data in search engines or as voice responses. SEO is no longer about just showing up first in a list of results, but providing the right information to consumers through rich experiences. If the data on your web pages is accurate, consistent and optimized, these intelligent services consider your website to be an authoritative source, and they will use your data to power these rich experiences.

Be clear. Be crawlable.

You need your information to be easy to read — both for customers and for intelligent systems. 3VS Directories, Locators, and Local Pages are built according to industry standards and best practices. We tag every field, from categories, to hours, to events, ensuring search engines understand all your information, so it shows up in search and powers the rich experiences provided by intelligent services.

Voice search is here. Is your business ready?

Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana. These intelligent services have become household names, with 71% of people now using voice search for common tasks. The use of voice-enabled speakers will rise 130% by 2019, and it is estimated that 50% of all searches will be conducted by voice or image by 2020. These trends are already creating a seismic shift in how consumers find information about your brand. Are you ready?

Take control of your digital knowledge.

With voice search usage and services both proliferating, it’s more important than ever to keep your business information up to date wherever consumers (and search engines) are looking. With 3Vs, you can control all the facts about your business in one place, across 100+ leading services, including Google, Apple, and Bing.

Banish bad answers.

Duplicate listings, inaccurate addresses, wrong hours. Voice search results only give users one answer, with less context than conventional search. That means it’s even more critical that you eliminate incorrect info before Siri, Cortana or Google Assistant finds it. Upon implementation, all 3Vs clients benefit from our rigorous data cleansing process to ensure their data is formatted consistently and completely.

Once a customer leaves a review it gets quarantined and allows you to respond and decide to publish it or not (in the case of a fake review). We post all of your reviews on your service and product pages. These reviews combined with coding your website using SEO /Internet Marketing results in the Review Stars listed in search results on Google!
