Local business structured data
Improves visibility for local businesses by displaying location, hours, and contact information.
When users search for businesses on Google Search or Maps, the results may include a prominent Google Knowledge Panel displaying key details about a business that matches the query. For broader searches (e.g., "best London restaurant"), users might see a carousel of businesses related to the query.
By using Local Business structured data, you can provide Google with information such as business hours, departments within the business, reviews (if your site collects them), and more.
Additionally, if you want to enable users to make reservations or place orders directly from the search results, you can integrate the Maps Booking API to facilitate bookings, payments, and other interactions seamlessly.
