+# Brand Structured Data Reference v1.0
+
+This reference maps common public brand facts to structured data concepts that can help people, search engines, and AI systems understand a brand more clearly.
+
+It is intended for independent brands, small businesses, founder-led companies, service providers, local businesses, and early-stage products that need a clearer public identity online.
+
+This is not a ranking guide and it does not guarantee search visibility, rich results, AI recommendations, indexing, or commercial outcomes. It is a practical field map for publishing clearer and more consistent brand information.
+
+## Files
+
+- `brand_structured_data_reference_v1.tsv` — the main field reference.
+
+## Columns
+
+- `section` — the broad area of brand identity.
+- `field` — the brand fact or signal.
+- `plain_language_question` — a founder-friendly way to ask for the information.
+- `schema_org_type` — the closest Schema.org type or concept.
+- `schema_org_property` — the closest Schema.org property where applicable.
+- `priority` — suggested priority for early brand visibility work.
+- `recommended_status` — whether the field is core, recommended, contextual, or conditional.
+- `why_it_matters` — why the field can help public understanding.
+- `example_value` — a simple illustrative value.
+- `notes` — caution or implementation notes.
+
+## Suggested Use
+
+Use this reference to plan a public brand profile, website schema markup, entity SEO work, crawler-readable brand pages, or internal brand data collection.
+
+For a small brand, the first priority is usually to publish the core identity fields clearly and consistently:
+
+- Brand name
+- Official website
+- Short description
+- Logo
+- Founder or owner where appropriate
+- Location or area served
+- Official social links
+- Main products or services
+- Public credibility references
