Structured data and Schema.org have become increasingly important for websites and search engines. Schema.org was created in 2011 as a joint effort by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and others to create a common set of schemas for structured data markup on web pages. Google and others now use structured data to better understand websites and display richer information in search features like Knowledge Panels. At a recent conference, a Google employee emphasized that implementing structured data using Schema.org can help websites appear in more search features and be better understood during crawling.
