The plugin comes with a database of every organization type schema and every rich results type. With this you can easily create a new schema element and assign a specific structured data type to a page, an individual post, an entire post type, or to your site as a whole.
Each schema and rich results type comes with its corresponding properties/fields, as per schema.org. When you add a schema element, you can fill in each of these properties with defaults that you want to apply to all posts/pages that have the schema. You can then customize each property directly on the post edit screen, should you need to make a change for a specific page or post.
Whether you’re running your website for a local business, a corporation, a restaurant, a specific project, a sports team, or any other type of organization, with just a few clicks, you can have the correct schema added to your pages, to help enhance your results in search engines!
Business Profile Contact Card
The Five Star Business Profile and Schema plugin is also perfect for adding your contact details to any page on your site. It comes with a handy form to help you fill in your info, which then gets automatically included on your site both as a contact card and as schema structured data, using the new JSON-LD format.
Includes Gutenberg schema block for displaying your contact details! You can also use the contact shortcode or widget to add in the structured data to your vcard. These allow you to display the following business contact info on any page:
Business name
Address
Phone number
Separate click-to-call phone number
Contact page link or email address
Link to Google Map with directions to your establishment
Google Map showing your location
Opening hours
Exceptions for opening hours, to specify days that are closed or have different hours (e.g. holidays)
For all of this information, the correct schema.org markup is added, in the new JSON-LD format. This helps search engines, like Google, discover your address, phone number and opening hours, so they can display them with your listing on Google.
Choose from a wide array of microdata item types for your business schema, including:
Corporation schema
Organization schema
Local Business schema
Restaurant schema
Many more!
Google Maps Structured Data
The integrated Google Maps features allow you to enhance your location structured data by displaying a business map on your site with full schema support. Your business location, including the business address, will be displayed on a map (with the correct map schema), as well as in text with the correct location microdata.
Multiple Locations
Business Profile supports multiple locations. This powerful feature works great for businesses that have several offices, for delivery services, for restaurants with multiple locations, etc. Business location schema is added to each entry and you can showcase your details using the Gutenberg schema block, via the location shortcode or with the included widget.

The multiple location structured data for your business also syncs up with the Five Star Restaurant Reservations to automatically offer a dropdown in your reservation form, so people can pick which location they want to book at. You can choose separate organization schema, corporation schema or local business schema for each new location you create, so each schema shortcode and each page’s contact info is uniquely optimized with SEO and search results in mind.

Is there a shortcode to print the contact card?
Yes, you can use [contact-card]. The documentation includes all of the shortcode attributes.
It asks me for a Google Maps API Key but I don’t know what it is or how to get it.
Google now requires that you have your own API key to display a map on your website. The documentation includes a walkthrough to help you generate a Google Maps API key.Google Maps shows my business in the wrong location
Unfortunately, in some cases Google is unable to find the right latitude and longitude to match your address.In some cases, you may be able to get it to properly locate you by tweaking the address. Sometimes Google just needs a bit of help. Once you’ve got the right coordinates you can go back and restore your original address, and save the form without touching the coordinates again.
If you’re unable to get Google to recognize your location, the best thing to do is to leave the Google Map out when you print your contact card. You will also want to hide the Get Directions link, because Google will guide your customers to the wrong location.
There’s not much I can do about this, unfortunately. Even if you were able to manually set the latitude and longitude, Google would still show bad directions, because it uses the address, not the coordinates, for this feature.
What’s the Schema Type?
This allows you to let search engines like Google know exactly what kind of business you run.
That way, when someone looks for a real estate agent or a restaurant in your area, they’ll know to include you in their search results.
You may not find a type that’s a perfect match for your business. Choose the option that’s most appropriate for your business, and fall back to a more generic type, such as Local Business, if you need.
