Launched in 2011 by Google, Yahoo! and Bing, Schema.org is a universal collection of schemas to describe the content in HTML. It helps search engines to better understand what the pages of your sites are about (e.g. recipe, news article, blog post) and what kind of information a particular div element contain (title, headline, picture of the author, or body of an article). Once they're able to break down the information of your web pages, search engines are able to provide richer experience to end users. For example, Rich Snippets offer more attractive results on SERPs which usually brings more traffic to your site.

This session will show:

  • what is schema.org
  • how to set up schema.org on Drupal 7 using the schema.org module
  • what kind of support will Drupal 8 have for schema.org
  • what other feature can schema.org provide
