LocalBusiness schema generator for local SEO and AI visibility

      
This LocalBusiness schema generator turns your NAP, hours, services, reviews, and contact details into structured JSON-LD. The goal is simple: make the business entity, location, and proof signals clear enough for search crawlers and AI answer engines to parse without guessing.

      
Use the form above for the markup, then use the checklist below to decide which fields are required fields for a reliable local business profile and which optional fields add stronger evidence.

    


    

      
Required fields for a useful LocalBusiness JSON-LD block

      

        
Name and business type
Use the real business name and the closest schema type, such as Dentist, Restaurant, Attorney, RealEstateAgent, or HomeAndConstructionBusiness.

        
NAP details
Add phone, street address, city, region, postal code, and country so Google and AI systems can connect the page to a specific local entity.

        
URL and description
Point schema to the canonical website URL and describe services, service area, and specialty in plain language.

        
Opening hours
Include normal business hours or mark closed days so crawlers do not have to infer availability from page copy.

      

    


    

      
Fields that make the schema stronger

      
    
        
  • aggregateRating and reviewCount: useful when the numbers match visible review evidence on the page or your linked profiles.
    • 
        
  • areaServed: useful for service businesses that cover a metro area rather than one storefront.
    • 
        
  • image: use a real storefront, team, logo, or service image that also appears on the page.
    • 
        
  • sameAs: add citation profiles such as Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, Houzz, Avvo, or industry directories when they are real and maintained.
    • 
        
  • FAQPage schema: add FAQPage schema only when the same questions and answers are visible on the page for users.
    •

LocalBusiness schema generator FAQ

      
Is this LocalBusiness schema generator free?

      
Yes — it is completely free with no signup. Fill in the form and it produces copy-paste JSON-LD you can drop straight into your site.

      
What is LocalBusiness schema and why does it matter?

      
LocalBusiness schema is structured JSON-LD that describes your business entity — name, address, phone, hours, services, and proof signals — so search crawlers and AI answer engines can parse who and where you are without guessing. It is the foundation of being recognised in local and AI search.

      
Where do I put the generated schema on my site?

      
Paste the JSON-LD block once into your page, ideally in the head. Use a single canonical LocalBusiness block sitewide — duplicating it on multiple pages confuses crawlers. Then validate with validator.schema.org and Google's Rich Results Test.

      
Does LocalBusiness schema help with ChatGPT and AI search?

      
Yes. AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews rely on structured, machine-readable data to recommend businesses confidently. Clean LocalBusiness schema makes your entity easy to cite instead of easy to skip. See the REAL Method for how this fits the bigger picture.

      
Do I need coding skills to use this schema generator?

      
No. You fill in plain fields — name, address, hours, category, services — and the tool writes valid JSON-LD for you. You only copy and paste the result.
