Schema.org for Plumbers

In 2011, Google, Bing, and Yahoo collaborated to release a consensus microdata code structure known as schema.org. The top search engines joined forces to give website developers the necessary parameters to best market their content to users. It was mutually beneficial for both search engines and web developers, as user experience was enhanced and developers had a better idea of how to optimize their code structure.
