Plan: Free

Key properties

  • name — organization name *(required)*
  • url — website URL *(required)*
  • logo — logo image URL *(required for Knowledge Panel)*
  • description — organization description
  • telephone — main phone number
  • email — main contact email
  • address — full postal address
  • contactPoint — contact type (customer service, sales, technical support)
  • sameAs — array of social media profile URLs (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube)

Usage recommendation

Create one Organization schema on your homepage. This is the most important schema for brand recognition in Google — it establishes your organization as an entity that Google understands and can confidently display.

For businesses with a physical location, use LocalBusiness instead — it is a subtype of Organization with additional properties for hours, location and maps.
