Local Business vs Organisation Schema

Local business is a Type and is the subtype of organisation. Yes it sound confusing, but it really isn't.

You will use local business schema type or a subtype if your business has a brick and mortar store with an address. If you don't have an address, such as an eCommerce business, you will use organisation type.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Does my business have a physical location? No = organisation type
  2. Is there a schema type that fits well? If yet, use that type. If no, use a broader type
