Schema Setup (JSON-LD for Business Locations)

Structured data helps search engines recognise your store locations and show rich results. Add JSON-LD schema to every store page:
‍

{  "@context": "https://schema.org",  
  "@type": "Store", 
  "name": "Your Store Name", 
  "image": "https://example.com/store-photo.jpg",  
  "address": {  
  "@type": "PostalAddress",   
    "streetAddress": "123 Main St",   
    "addressLocality": "City",    
    "addressRegion": "State",   
    "postalCode": "12345",   
    "addressCountry": "US" 
}, 
  "telephone": "+1-555-555-5555",  
    "openingHours": "Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00", 
    "url": "https://yourwebsite.com/location-page"}
