Local Business Schema Types
Local Business Schema is a specific form of Schema.org structured data markup that you add to your website’s HTML. It helps search engines like Google—and AI-driven tools and digital assistants—understand key details about your business (such as your name, address, phone number, hours of operation, and the services you offer).
Under the umbrella of LocalBusiness, Schema.org maintains over 80 specific subtypes to match almost any industry. Here’s a categorized overview:
- LocalBusiness
- AnimalShelter
- AutomotiveBusiness
- ChildCare
- Dentist
- DryCleaningOrLaundry
- EmergencyService
- EmploymentAgency
- EntertainmentBusiness
- FinancialService
- FoodEstablishment
- GovernmentOffice
- HealthAndBeautyBusiness

- LegalService
- Library

- MedicalBusiness
- ProfessionalService
- SportsActivityLocation
What If No Schema Type Fits Your Business?
If you can’t find a type that best fit your business, you can use a sub-category. For example, there’s no schema type for junk removal companies. To make your website’s schema more specific, instead of using “LocalBusiness“, you can use “HomeAndConstructionBusiness“
