Introduction To Schema Markup

Schema markup is an important tool which gives search engines context to the data it reads. The ability to have the standard schema.org markup applied to a website increases the possibilities of higher search rankings for pages with these snippets. Most importantly adopting to Schema markup standards allows for a more future proof website(s).
