### What is Google structured data? <a href="#what-is-google-structured-data" id="what-is-google-structured-data"></a>

Google uses structured data to understand the content on the page and show that content in a richer appearance in search results, which is called a rich result.

Rich results are experiences on Google surfaces, such as Search, that go beyond the standard blue link.
