Most developers and webmasters know HTML tags all too well. In most cases, the HTML tags direct the browser on how the information included in this tag should be displayed in a browser. We know that "h1" tags will display the text within the tag in a heading 1 format, but what you may not realize is that these HTML tags do not give the search engines any information as to what that particular h1 text really means; is it referring to a video, or a book, or a person, place or thing? This makes it difficult for search engines to display relevant content to a user, in an intelligent manner.

Google recommends adding structured markup to your site. Structured markup is, essentially, a common vocabulary for describing the data on the web. The majority of sites are created from structured data, but this data is generally stored on a database, not in plain view of the Search Engines, and it is not easily retrieved once the data has been formatted into HTML. Direct access to structured data can be of great assistance to many applications, especially, search engines. Not only will implementing structured data directly to the markup of the page facilitate the search engines' understanding of the information provided, it will result in lusher search results, thus, making it easier for users to find relevant information from their queries.
