Structuring data is a method to organize and classify content to a level of detail for general usage. Structured data comes in predefined lengths and formats. The organized and specific nature of structured data makes storage and retrieval efficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, e-commerce applications have their data in the form of a product catalog in a JavaScriptObject Notation (JSON) or a Comma-separated Value (CSV) format. Product details such as product name, price, color, and description are stored in the form of structured data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SearchAssist allows you to add structured data as a content source. Follow these steps to add structured data:<\/span><\/p>\n
