What kind of schema json markup for a Service Area Business?

[lukaszadam]

Hey everyone!

Hope you guys have a good time. I am currently adding schema to one of my websites. Usually I either use "organization" or "LocalBusiness" but since this is a Service Area Business, I was wondering what to add. Any ideas? Should I maybe use the LocalBusiness but without the street name?

Thanks for any help!

BTW great Forum, I am pretty new here but I really enjoy it!

Hey @lukaszadam I would use LocalBusiness and include the street address if possible. Otherwise I think it will throw an error.

You can also use the Service Schema mark-up which allows you to mark-up your service area - https://www.schemaapp.com/how-to/services-schema-markup-schema-org-services/

Thanks Colan! I think I will go with the service option.

I have a service area client with a bunch of business types in their schema. My gut tells me they should just have one, yes?

@type	HomeAndConstructionBusiness
@type	HVACBusiness
@type	Plumber
@type	Electrician
@type	RoofingContracto

They also list out a lot of serviceTypes.

They also have a bunch of zip codes listed (a lot more than I pasted here) under PostalAddress. Again my gut tells me @type should be Service not place and having too many zip codes might be hurting them instead of helping them.

I wonder if you could use this: additionalType - schema.org
