You get:
- no LocalBusiness schema (Google doesn’t understand your business type)
- missing address, phone, hours in structured data
- no review schema (stars don’t show in search)
- no opening hours schema (missed rich snippets)
- competitors with schema outranking you
But schema markup is not optional.
It helps Google understand and display your business.
- LocalBusiness schema: business type, name, address, phone
- OpeningHours schema: days and hours
- Review schema: aggregate rating, review count
- GeoCoordinates schema: latitude and longitude
- ServiceArea schema: cities or regions served
Without schema, you miss rich result opportunities.
