It allows guiding the user through the search process and discover important resources in the chosen domain very easy.

Providing structured data

To bring users the right format information in the correct format use the power of Structured Data and Schema.org. Google extracts a wide variety of structured data from web pages, which is easy for humans to read but more difficult for PC’s to understand. Some web pages have information with greater structure which is easy to read. The thing is that a computer can not interpret what is in a web page as it does not understand how the information is structured. Google Search has its own algorithm and policies for determining what information is public for users, so structured data might not be displayed in Google Search results.
