Schema Markup for Indian Websites 2025 | Rich Snippets Implementation Guide

Schema markup (structured data) is code you add to your website that tells Google exactly what your content means — not just what it says. This semantic clarity enables Google to display rich snippets in search results: star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, pricing information, event dates, and recipe cards. Rich snippets increase click-through rates by 20-30% for the same ranking position. Essential schema types for Indian business websites: LocalBusiness schema: Every Indian local business should implement this

Includes: business name, address (structured with Indian address format — streetAddress, addressLocality, addressRegion, postalCode, addressCountry: 'IN'), telephone with +91 country code, opening hours, price range, and geo coordinates. Review schema: Displays star ratings in search results. Implements aggregate ratings from reviews collected through your own review system (Google Reviews rating must be displayed through GBP, not manual schema). FAQ schema: The most impactful schema type for Indian businesses — creates expandable FAQ sections directly in Google search results

Each FAQ page should include 3-5 frequently asked questions with complete answers. HowTo schema: Step-by-step process content marked up as HowTo appears with numbered steps in Google search results. 'How to set up a GST account', 'How to file ITR online India' — popular how-to queries benefit from HowTo schema. Product schema: E-commerce and product pages with Product schema display price, availability, and ratings in search results

Indian price format: use INR currency code with numeric price. Organization schema: Your homepage should include complete Organization schema: name, legal name, URL, logo, contactPoint (customer service phone, WhatsApp), sameAs (social media profile URLs). Article schema: Blog posts and news articles with Article schema help Google understand publication date, author, and category — contributing to 'Top Stories' eligibility.
