What structured data & schema markup involves
Structured data is standardised markup, usually Schema.org JSON-LD, that states your business facts in a format machines read without interpretation: who you are, where you operate, what you sell, who wrote a page and what questions it answers. It is the plumbing behind rich results in search and a significant part of how answer engines decide what is true about your business.
In Exeter that usually means working with professional and financial services, construction and trades and healthcare and private clinics, so structured data & schema markup here is shaped around the enquiries those businesses actually get — not a template applied to every town in Devon.
