Many consumers use search engines and smartphone apps when they plan their shopping, to find the best deals and the products that best match their needs. By publishing facts about the products you sell or manufacture as structured data, search engines and smartphone apps can more easily find your products and present the correct information to consumers.
Some of you will be familiar with enhanced search results such as Google Rich Snippets, which often feature images, maps and other information. These make use of structured data. Using the GS1 Web Markup helper, you can improve your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy and increase the chances that your products will be found.
The GS1 Web Markup tool makes it easy for you to add structured data about products to your own website, so that the details about the products that you manufacture or sell can be found more easily by search engines and smartphone apps.
In this tool, you provide details about the product you manufacture or sell and the tool will generate a block of structured data that you just insert into your web page.
If you have a data-driven website with dynamic pages that uses a template system and a database for product master data, you might still find this tool useful for generating some examples of JSON-LD structured data, so that your web development teams can create an additional blank JSON-LD template that is also populated with the same data values that are inserted into the template in the visible part of the page.
Keep in mind that if you have dynamic pages, you might consider using sitemaps.org to provide a sitemap (a set of hyperlinks to all current pages), so that search engine crawlers can find all your pages. This is particularly important if those pages are not linked from the home page or are only found via a search form or if your website uses javascript for navigation.
None of the data you enter in this tool will be sent to GS1 or anyone else - all of the processing is done on your computer and you can even use this tool offline.
Please select a currency to use throughout this tool.
This version of the markup tool allows you to specify language-dependent property values in up to 10 natural (human) languages. Please select one or more languages to be used for the JSON-LD markup for GS1 SmartSearch.
