Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a page and classifying the page content. In this guide, we'll explore how to implement JSON-LD effectively.
## Why JSON-LD?
JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is Google's recommended format for structured data. It's easier to implement and maintain compared to Microdata or RDFa.

- **FAQPage**: For frequently asked questions
- **BreadcrumbList**: For navigation breadcrumbs
## Implementation Tips
Always validate your structured data using Google's Rich Results Test tool. Keep your structured data up-to-date and ensure it accurately represents your content.
## Conclusion
Structured data is a powerful SEO tool that can help your content stand out in search results with rich snippets and enhanced listings.
