Schema markup (structured data) is code added to your website that helps search engines understand your content structure and present it in the form of enhanced **Rich Snippets** (star ratings, FAQ accordions, event dates, product prices, and author info).
At Grothify, deploying custom JSON-LD schema on client pages consistently increases organic Click-Through Rate (CTR) by 20% to 35% without changing organic rank positions. Here is our 2026 schema implementation playbook.
