With efficient internal processes & subject expertise in digital, we forge as your extended marketing partner. Direct access to the founders & the core team, flexibility & agility when situations demand so, clean reporting and transparency at every stage, while completely maintaining the security of your confidential data, are some reasons why our clients love us!

What is Digital Marketing & Why is it Important?

Digital marketing is often seen as a completely new chapter in the book of marketing. However, the truth is that it’s just the age-old marketing, but in the digital era!

This means that the core concepts & fundamentals of marketing still apply. So, identifying your target audience, their user behaviour & habits, understanding the market, understanding their need, understanding how a product solves the need, and what should a brand say – to effectively convey the product proposition to the customer, are all so very important in digital as well! A good digital agency & a social media marketing agency will always keep these core concepts of marketing as their top priority while creating any digital marketing strategy.

So what is digital marketing and what does it include? Digital marketing services include all the marketing efforts put by a brand’s marketing team or their digital marketing company using an electronic device or the internet. This includes digital channels such as social media, search engines, email, SEO and more that are used to connect with the brand’s target audience. See our complete list of capabilities here.

With the right digital marketing company by your side, you can identify & reach the right target audience at an optimized cost to achieve desired business outcomes. The efforts can be targeted to the people who will most likely become your buyers instead of broadcasting your advertisements to a random audience. With digital marketing, it is also easier to measure the success of your marketing strategies with supporting tools.

Major Types of Schema Markup and How Implementing Them Can Boost Rankings and Visibility

Most SEOs majorly work on keyword research, on-page optimization, and backlinks, but the technical side often gets less attention. Schema markup is one of those powerful elements many skip because they don’t fully understand what is schema markup or how it impacts business results. Even more common—SEOs implement schema markup without knowing which schema to add on which pages or what should actually be marked up. Some add random schema hoping it works, while others avoid it completely, assuming it’s too technical.

In this blog, we’ll explore the major types of schema markup, how to implement them correctly, and the tangible benefits of schema markup for SEO. By the end, you’ll know exactly what is the use of schema markup, which types your website needs, and how it helps your business gain better visibility, higher rankings, and more clicks.

What Schema Markup Actually Does and Why It Matters

Schema markup, also known as structured data, helps search engines understand your content more accurately. Your page may look clear to human visitors, but Google needs extra guidance to know what’s a product price, a review, or an event date.

When you add schema markup, you’re giving search engines a structured roadmap of your content. This clarity allows Google to display rich results — listings with images, star ratings, prices, and more.

These enhanced listings improve click-through rates (CTR) because users are naturally drawn to visually rich search results. That means schema not only helps your website rank higher but also brings qualified traffic that’s more likely to convert.

Product Schema – Show Prices and Ratings in Search

What is Product Schema: Product schema is structured data specifically for items you sell online. It appears in search results as rich snippets showing product images, prices, availability status, and star ratings directly below your listing title.

Where It Shows: You’ll see this displayed right below the page title in search results, showing the price, availability like “In Stock” or “Out of Stock,” and star ratings with review counts.

When to Use It: Add product schema markup to every individual product page on your eCommerce website.

Major Parameters to Add:

  • Product name and description
  • Price and currency
  • Availability status (in stock, out of stock, pre-order)
  • Product images
  • SKU or product ID
  • Brand name
  • Aggregate rating (average stars)
  • Review count
  • Product condition (new, used, refurbished)

Benefits and Real Impact: Product schema increases CTR dramatically. When users see product prices and ratings before clicking, they’re already pre-qualified. Keeping the schema updated with real-time stock and pricing improves user experience and boosts conversion rates.

Article Schema – Get Featured with Images and Dates

What is Article Schema: Article schema marks up blog posts, news articles, and editorial content. It displays in search results with thumbnail images, publication dates, author names, and sometimes article headlines that stand out visually.

Where It Shows: This appears directly in search results showing a small thumbnail image on the left side of your listing, along with the published date below your meta description.

When to Use It: Implement article schema on every blog post, news article, and how-to guide you publish.

Major Parameters to Add:

  • Headline (article title)
  • Article body text
  • Featured image with specified dimensions
  • Author name
  • Publisher information
  • Date published
  • Date modified
  • Article type (blog post, news article, scholarly article)

Benefits and Real Impact: Article schema boosts your chances of appearing in Google Discover, Top Stories, and other rich results. It also signals freshness, which can help your content rank faster after updates.

Local Business Schema – Dominate Local Search Results

What is Local Business Schema: Local business schema provides search engines with detailed information about your physical business location. It appears in Google’s local pack (the map with three business listings), Google Maps, and the Knowledge Panel for your business.

Where It Shows: You’ll see this in the Google Maps section that appears at the top of search results, showing your business name, address, phone number, and operating hours in a card format.

When to Use It: Every business with a physical location needs a local business schema on their homepage or dedicated location pages.

Major Parameters to Add:

  • Business name (exactly as it appears on Google Business Profile)
  • Complete address with street, city, state, and postal code
  • Phone number in standard format
  • Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude)
  • Business category/type
  • Opening hours for each day
  • Price range
  • Accepted payment methods
  • Service area (if you serve customers beyond your location)
  • URL for the location page

Benefits and Real Impact: Local business schema increases your visibility for “near me” searches. It helps you appear in Google’s local 3-pack and improves trust by showing accurate details directly in search results.

How to Fix Soft 404 Errors in Google Search Console

If you’ve ever checked Google Search Console, you might have come across the term soft 404 errors. These errors can quietly affect your website’s SEO and ranking if left unchecked. In this guide, we’ll explain what soft 404 issues are, why they happen, and how you can fix them — in a way that even an 8th grader could understand.

What Are Soft 404 Errors?

Soft 404 errors occur when a webpage tells search engines it’s okay (status 200), but in reality, the page has no real content or shows an “empty” or “not found” message. In simpler words, it’s a fake 404 — the page looks broken to Google even though technically it isn’t.

Example:
Imagine you go to a shop to buy a book, but the shopkeeper just shows you an empty shelf and says, “Here it is!” That’s exactly what Google sees with a soft 404 page — it expects content but finds nothing useful.

Why it matters:

  • Google might stop indexing these pages, which can reduce your site’s visibility.
  • It can waste your site’s crawl budget (the number of pages Googlebot checks on your site).
  • Users who click  on such pages may leave quickly, increasing the bounce rate.
  • Soft 404s can also affect your overall site authority, because Google may see multiple “empty” pages and consider the website lower quality.

Common Causes of Soft 404 Issues

Understanding why soft 404 errors occur helps in fixing them more quickly. Some common causes include:

  1. Thin Content Pages – Pages with very little text or no meaningful information.
  2. Deleted Pages – When a page is removed ,but the server still returns a “200 OK” instead of a proper 404.
  3. Incorrect Redirects – Pages that redirect to irrelevant content or the homepage instead of a proper 404 page.
  4. Technical Glitches – CMS or server misconfigurations may accidentally show empty pages.
  5. Blocked Resources – Sometimes Google can’t see images, CSS, or JavaScript due to robots.txt or no-index tags, making a page appear “empty” and causing a soft 404.

     

Example:
A blog post that’s deleted but the URL still works and shows “Post not found” with no content is a classic soft 404.

How to Identify Soft 404 Errors in Google Search Console

Google Search Console makes it easy to spot soft 404 issues.

  1. Open Search Console → Go to Coverage Report/pages.
  2. Look for the section called Errors → find Soft 404.
  3. Click each URL to see which pages Google thinks are “soft 404”.
  4. Check the page manually — sometimes Google may mark pages as soft 404 even if they appear to be okay, so verify the content yourself.

This helps you create a list of pages to fix without having to guess.

How to Fix Soft 404 Errors

Here are practical ways to solve soft 404 errors:

1. Return the Correct Status Code

If a page no longer exists, make sure your server returns a 404 (Not Found) or 410 (Gone) status code. This tells Google the page is gone for real. 

Tip: Use 410 if the page is permanently removed; Google may deindex it faster than a 404.

2. Improve Thin Content Pages

Add valuable content to pages with very little information. Include:

  • Text that explains the topic clearly
  • Images, videos, or charts
  • Internal links to related pages

     

Example:
A product page with just a product name can be enhanced with a detailed description, images, reviews, and FAQs.

Tip: Even a small paragraph explaining the purpose of the page can prevent it from being marked as soft 404.

3. Proper Redirects

If a page is removed but there’s a relevant alternative, use a 301 redirect instead of sending users to the homepage.

Example:

  • Old blog: /seo-tips-2020
  • New blog: /seo-tips-2025
    Redirect the old URL to the new one, so users and Google are directed to the right page.

Important: Avoid redirecting all deleted pages to the homepage, as this can create soft 404 issues.

4. Customise Your 404 Page

A friendly, helpful 404 page keeps visitors engaged even if they land on a missing URL. Include:

  • Search bar
  • Links to popular pages
  • Clear message saying the page isn’t available

Tip: A good 404 page won’t directly fix a soft 404 directly, but it improves the user experience and reduces the bounce rate.

 

Tips to Prevent Soft 404 Issues

  • Regularly audit your website in Google Search Console.
  • Avoid deleting pages without proper redirects.
  • Ensure your CMS handles missing pages correctly.
  • Keep your content fresh and meaningful.
  • Monitor server logs periodically to identify URLs that return low-content or empty responses, which Google may flag as spam.

Conclusion

Resolving soft 404 errors is a crucial  part of technical SEO that can improve your website’s performance and user experience. By understanding what soft 404 issues are, checking them in Google Search Console, and taking steps such as  returning proper status codes, improving content, or setting correct redirects, you can maintain a healthy and Google-friendly site. Regular monitoring ensures these errors don’t hurt your SEO in the long run.
