Frequently Asked Questions

  • Local business schema embed is a special type of code added to your website that helps search engines, like Google, understand your business better. It’s like giving Google a “cheat sheet” with all the important details about your business—like your name, address, phone number, and opening hours—so Google can display that information directly in search results and on Google Maps.

    Where do I add this code on my website?

    The schema code is added directly to your website’s HTML code. It’s not visible to website visitors but can be read by Google. Typically, the code is placed in the header or footer of your website, which ensures that search engines can easily access it.

    What does the code look like?

    Here’s an example of what the local business schema code might look like for a coffee shop:

    json

    Copy

    { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "Restaurant", "name": "Joe's Coffee Shop", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "123 Coffee Street", "addressLocality": "Coffee Town", "addressRegion": "CT", "postalCode": "12345", "addressCountry": "US" }, "telephone": "+1234567890", "openingHours": "Mo-Su 07:00-18:00", "url": "https://www.joescoffeeshop.com" }

    This code tells Google the important details about your business, such as:

    • Your business name

    • Your address

    • Your contact number

    • Your opening hours

    • Your website link

    How does this help my business?

    By adding local business schema to your website, Google can present your business information in a more organized way in search results, including directly on Google Maps. When someone searches for a business like yours, Google will know exactly where you are, what time you’re open, and how to contact you, helping more customers find you online.

    At Pinsoda, we handle the technical side of this process to make sure your business is properly optimized for local searches, making it easier for customers to discover you.

  • Meta Data Optimization involves improving the hidden pieces of information on your website—specifically meta tags. These tags help search engines understand the content of your website and decide how to display your pages in search results. The main components of meta data are meta titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords. By optimizing these, your pages become more likely to show up in relevant searches and attract visitors.

    What are Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions?

    • Meta Title: This is the title that appears in search engine results and at the top of the browser window. It's like the headline for your page and should be clear, concise, and relevant to the content.

    • Meta Description: This is a brief summary of your page's content (typically 150-160 characters). It shows up below the title in search results. While it doesn't directly impact rankings, a compelling meta description can make people more likely to click on your link.

    Example:

    Let’s say you run a bakery. Here’s an example of optimized meta data for your bakery’s homepage:

    • Meta Title: Best Bakery in [Your City] - Fresh Bread, Cakes, and Pastries

    • Meta Description: Visit [Your Bakery Name] for the freshest bread, delicious cakes, and custom pastries in [Your City]. Order online or stop by today!

    In this example:

    • The meta title includes the business name, location, and main offerings (bread, cakes, pastries). It’s clear, concise, and includes keywords people might search for.

    • The meta description gives a brief but enticing summary of what the bakery offers and encourages people to visit or order online.

    How does Meta Data Optimization help my business?

    Optimizing your meta data has several benefits:

    • Increases visibility: Properly optimized titles and descriptions help search engines understand what your page is about, which can improve your ranking.

    • Boosts click-through rate: When your meta titles and descriptions are clear and compelling, users are more likely to click on your link in search results.

    • Targets the right audience: Using the right keywords in your meta data helps ensure your pages appear in front of the people searching for what you offer.

    At Pinsoda, we ensure that your website’s meta data is fully optimized for search engines, which helps your business get noticed by the right people online.scription

  • What is "Schemaed Review Embed" and how does it benefit my business?

    Schemaed Review Embed is a method of adding review schema to your website. This is a special type of code that helps search engines understand and display customer reviews more effectively. By embedding structured review data (using Schema.org markup), Google and other search engines can showcase your reviews directly in search results, making them more visible and increasing trust with potential customers.

    How does it work?

    When customers leave reviews for your business, the schemaed review embed helps structure those reviews in a way that makes them readable for search engines. This ensures that your reviews are displayed correctly in Google’s search results, sometimes as rich snippets (the star ratings you see alongside a website listing). This not only helps improve your business's visibility but also adds credibility by showing that real people have shared positive experiences with your products or services.

    Example:

    Let’s say you run a restaurant, and you’ve collected customer reviews on your website. Here’s what the schemaed review embed might look like for a single review:

    json

    Copy

    { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "Restaurant", "name": "Joe's Diner", "review": { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jane Doe" }, "datePublished": "2025-05-01", "reviewBody": "Great food, friendly staff, and quick service! Highly recommend.", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": "5", "bestRating": "5" } } }

    In this example:

    • Review details: The review is about the restaurant "Joe's Diner."

    • Rating: The review is 5 stars out of 5.

    • Review body: The customer’s experience is summarized: "Great food, friendly staff, and quick service!"

    When this schema is added to your website, Google can display the review in search results, including the star rating. This can help potential customers quickly gauge the quality of your business and encourage them to check it out.

    How does Schemaed Review Embed help my business?

    Adding schemaed reviews to your website provides several benefits:

    • Increases visibility: Reviews are more likely to show up in search results with star ratings, making your business stand out.

    • Builds trust: Positive reviews that appear in search results help potential customers see that your business has a good reputation, increasing their confidence in choosing your products or services.

    • Improves SEO: Search engines love structured data. By using schema to display reviews, you make your website more attractive to search engines, which can lead to better rankings.

    At Pinsoda, we ensure that your customer reviews are structured properly with schema markup, helping your business get noticed and build trust with new customers.

  • Not necessarily. We can work alongside your existing team to enhance their efforts with consistent updates, advanced strategies, and transparent reporting.

  • We provide detailed reports and keep you informed throughout the process. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.

  • That’s no problem! Our à la carte model lets you choose only the services you need.

  • While no one can predict every algorithm shift, our strategies are rooted in foundational best practices, ensuring your business stays resilient and competitive.

  • SEO is a long-term investment, but many clients begin to see improvements in visibility and engagement within the first few months.
