LocalBusiness Schema is Schema.org markup specifically used to describe a local business entity.
It matters because local buyers often make decisions quickly from maps, reviews, proximity, and location-specific pages. Local SEO connects online visibility to real-world calls, visits, appointments, and service inquiries.
Example
A store’s LocalBusiness markup can identify the same store described on its location page. Use accurate properties and validate the syntax, while recognizing that valid markup does not guarantee a special search presentation.
