How does this help SEO?
Generates JSON-LD structured data markup, which helps search engines like Google understand your business details accurately. This can improve visibility in local search results and potentially enhance your site’s appearance in search listings (like the Knowledge Panel).
Can I add multiple business locations?
- The plugin currently supports single-location schema markup. Additional location support may be considered in future updates.
Do I need coding skills to use this plugin?
No! Just fill in your business details through the simple settings interface. The plugin handles the code generation.
Will this conflict with my SEO plugin?
The plugin automatically detects if popular SEO tools (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO) are active. When detected:
– Our WebSite schema (search box markup) will be disabled to prevent duplication
– Your LocalBusiness schema will still be added as normal
How do I know which schema is being used?
Check your page source or use Google’s Rich Results Test. The plugin’s schema blocks will have IDs starting with “lbsg-“.
Need coding skills?
No! Just fill in your business details.
