Description
RankUp Geo-Radius Schema creates LocalBusiness JSON-LD for one local or service-area business.
Configure the business name, physical address, phone number, business type, latitude, longitude, service radius, and named service areas from a WordPress settings page. A radius is represented as a Schema.org GeoCircle, while cities, regions, and postal codes are represented as text values in areaServed.
Key features:
- LocalBusiness and six supported subtypes.
- Complete PostalAddress fields.
- GeoCoordinates for the business location.
- GeoCircle service radius, entered in kilometres and output in metres.
- Optional named service areas.
- Homepage-only schema output by default, with an optional sitewide setting.
[rankup_service_areas]shortcode for displaying named service areas.- Warning when common SEO plugins that may also create LocalBusiness schema are detected.
- No tracking, external requests, or frontend assets.
Structured data helps search engines understand page content. It does not guarantee rankings, traffic, rich results, or inclusion in any search feature.

The saved plugin option is removed when you delete the plugin through WordPress. Deactivation preserves the settings.
