Data Points
This module provides several comprehensive data points that are sent to search engines. Such as organizational information, product information, review information, breadcrumbs, and social media information.

This is the general information about your company. This helps search engines produce rich cards for your company when users search for the company itself in searches. It is broken into 6 parts:
- Company Name
- Company Legal Name
- Alternative Name
- Description
- Website URL
- Logo
If your company does not have an alternative name, it is perfectly fine to leave that field blank.
Social Media
The social media allows search engines to link your site with the relevant social meida accounts. These can be shown on the rich cards and other areas in the search. This also lets search engines know which social media sites are the official sites for your company. There are currently six supported sites:
- YouTube
- Google Plus
Reviews
This area lets you choose to send review data to the search engines while on product pages. The review data has three choices.
