Organization structured data should describe the business already visible to people and supported by public facts. It is a machine-readable identity aid, not a place to invent awards, addresses or other trust signals. Before adding fields, make a dated fact register and decide who will keep it current.
Decision framework
| Step | Practical check |
|---|---|
| Find the canonical facts | Check the site name, home URL, logo and public contact details on the live site. |
| Check external profiles | Add sameAs links only when the profile clearly belongs to the organization. |
| Resolve conflicts | If the website and a directory disagree, correct the source of truth before copying the claim into markup. |
| Validate and monitor | Test the final page and watch Search Console for structured-data issues after release. |
How to make the decision
Google recommends Organization markup on the home page or a single page describing the organization, with applicable properties rather than every possible property. Start with a small register: property, proposed value, public evidence URL, last checked date and owner. For Megvi, the live site identifies the name as Megvi Digital Marketing and the canonical home URL as https://megvidigital.com. A street address, legal registration number or founding date needs separate verification before inclusion.
Worked example
Illustrative fact-register row: name = Megvi Digital Marketing; source = live home page; checked = 25 October 2026; owner = site editor. Another row proposes an address from an old directory but the current contact page does not confirm it. The address stays out of markup until the owner verifies and corrects the public information. The missing field is better than an unsupported claim.
What can change the answer
Valid markup does not guarantee a special search display. A validation tool checks syntax and some eligibility rules; it does not prove that every business fact is true.
Review checklist
- Does every property have a current public source?
- Are names, URLs and profiles consistent with the visible site?
- Is there an owner and update date for the fact register?
Common question
Should Organization markup appear on every page?
Google recommends the home page or one page describing the organization; repeating a large identity block everywhere is unnecessary.
