RDFa is similar to Microdata and just like Microdata RDFa uses tags inline with the existing HTML. <\/span><\/p>\nUsing the same example from above here is what RDFa markup would look like.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"RDFa](\"https:\/\/www.structuredseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/rdfa-code-example.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
RDFa uses three tags vocab, typeof and property. From the sample above the first line establishes the vocabulary being used \u201cschema\u201d and typeof establishes what the page is about \u201cLocalBusiness.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n![\"RDFa](\"https:\/\/www.structuredseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/rdfa-example-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Next we markup all the information with property tags.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"RDFa](\"https:\/\/www.structuredseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/rdfa-example-3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
What Method of Structured Data Is Right for You?<\/strong><\/h2>\nPersonally, I would go with JSON-LD. It is much easier to implement, and it\u2019s the recommended method by Google. It is also supported by the largest search engines, so the future of JSON-LD looks good.<\/span><\/p>\nBut if you would like to explore the other options keep this in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Microdata is much more popular than RDFa and can be found on sites such as eBay.<\/span><\/li>\n
- You will need HTML experience to markup data with Microdata or RDFa.<\/span><\/li>\n
- To deploy Microdata and RDFa, you will need to edit your website files.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now compare this to JSON-LD. <\/span><\/p>\nJSON-LD isn\u2019t actually visible on your page. You still get the same results using JSON-LD without the added hassle of changing your HTML or accessing your website files, and JSON-LD can be added anywhere on your web page. It’s just a hidden script that search engines read.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=”Help Me With My Schema” button_text=”Help Me With My Schema” button_alignment=”center”
