How to use address correctly
Describes a postal address, usually via a PostalAddress object or a text value.
Common mistake to avoid
Do not invent a physical office or street address for a purely online service.
Applied example and verification
A PostalAddress can describe a business location, venue or another address-bearing entity, but the relationship must be real. A remote service should not fabricate a street address to appear local. When a business has several branches, check that the address belongs to the location described on the page. Postal codes, regions and country names should come from the publisher’s verified records. Avoid copying the registered office into every location page unless it genuinely serves the same purpose. If an address changes, update the visible contact information and the structured data together. The illustrative PostalAddress shown here contains a placeholder precisely to avoid implying that a real location has been verified.
Example property value
This snippet is illustrative and may not be sufficient markup on its own. Replace placeholders with real values.
"address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Verified address — placeholder" }Read the official Schema.org address definition. Google feature requirements, when relevant, must be checked separately against the official Search Gallery.
