Is your team trying to stay on top of the latest structured data recommendations, only to be blocked by the complexity of it all?
Schema App empowers your digital team with the control and agility to drive results in a changing SEO world, by leveraging structured data without having to rely on I.T. resources. Work with and learn from schema markup experts to take your website to a new level with structured data, and showcase the unique value of your organization in search.
Businesses who reach out to us are typically looking to solve the following three problems that hinder their digital performance:
- Lacking Schema Markup Expertise
- Inability to Scale Schema Markup
- Insufficient I.T Resources for Agility
Lacking Schema Markup Expertise
Schema markup is an advanced, technical, and relatively new method of search engine optimization. This structured data vocabulary was released in 2011 through a collaborative effort by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Yandex, and the language is always changing and expanding. Schema.org is the dictionary for schema markup, and with thirteen new versions released over the past two years it’s clear that search engines continue to invest in this advanced SEO practice.
The benefits of structured data extend beyond improving your SEO performance:
- You’re actually translating your content into a language that search engines understand.
- You’re connecting your organization and information on your site to a search engine’s knowledge graph by defining objects in your content as distinct entities, which streamlines Google’s ability to match a user’s search intent to information on your website.
- You’re taking control of how the data on your web pages is defined, rather than just hoping that search engines will figure it out and show the best information in search results.
Learning a new language and how to properly map, connect, and nest data items is hard and takes a lot of skill and knowledge, for which most SEO teams cannot dedicate a full-time position.
Enter Schema App: Your End to End Solution for Structured Data.
Schema App offers a technical solution with high-touch support to enable your team through the whole process. Beyond the initial setup and creation comes the need to edit, maintain, and scale your schema markup. A common misconception is that schema markup is static once it’s created. The truth is your structured data should be evolving and changing over time, just as your website content and online business goals evolve. Let our solution do the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on other areas of SEO, like strategy.
Inability to Scale Schema Markup
The biggest challenge for businesses who already have a structured data expert on their team is creating and managing schema markup at scale across hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of pages on your website. Hardcoding schema markup into your website page-by-page is not sustainable, and your digital team is going to be spending hundreds of hours doing so. At Schema App, our solutions allow us to easily create, manage, and deploy customized schema markup at scale across thousands of pages to suit our customers’ needs.
To maximize results from schema markup, your website should have useful, informative content that is comprehensively marked up with structured data. That’s why your Customer Success Manager will provide expert content recommendations to unlock new opportunities for search enhancement features like rich results. The Schema App Highlighter can even update your schema markup dynamically to keep up with content changes across your website, meaning you won’t miss out on any opportunities to connect with your customers as your business grows.
Insufficient I.T Resources for Agility
Even if your schema markup expert has found a way to create structured data internally at scale, our bet is that implementing this is going to require some assistance from your development team. If your dev team is anything like ours, they’re usually running at max capacity. Customers come to us to remove the dependency of deploying or editing their schema markup from their development team, enabling their SEO team to just get the job done!
Schema App is a SaaS solution, so the setup, and updates are made in our application which empowers your SEO team to make updates as the content evolves, vs being dependent on your dev team. Also, once templates or sets of pages are set up, anytime you add to that page set, BAM! It’s optimized.
Our solution, paired with our expert Customer Success teams means that updates can be made FAST! We’re quick to execute based on customer needs and feedback—no need to jump in line for your next dev team sprint cycle. Simply reach out to your customer success manager and create a plan together for when changes are going to happen so that we can be ready to update your configuration in Schema App’s solution; your schema markup will evolve with your website. Or maybe your company is considering a website migration or redesign; we can pivot your schema markup strategy to help mitigate traffic lost through your transition.
When AdventHealth was planning a massive rebrand that would consolidate over 800 websites using approximately 35 different content management systems, we helped them mitigate the risk of a drop in organic traffic during the rebranding and ended up driving the following results:
- 90% increase in clicks
- 40% increase in impressions
- 38% increase in CTR
- Top position in the rankings
We have seen significant increases in how our physicians are being found. Physician bio clips increased 90% from 150,000 clicks to about 285,000 clicks and we saw a 38% increase in the click-through rate of the search results as well”
