# 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
