Dataset Schema in SureRank
This Feature Is Part of Pro Plan
The Dataset Schema in SureRank helps search engines understand the details of your datasets. By adding structured data, you make your datasets eligible for rich results in Google Search, such as dataset listings with the dataset name, description, creator, and publication date.
This schema is especially useful for:
- Research datasets and academic publications
- Government or public data collections
- Scientific or technical data
- Open data for community or organizational use
Adding a Dataset Schema can increase your dataset’s visibility in search results and make it easier for users and researchers to discover your data by highlighting key information like the dataset name, description, creator, and format directly in Google Search.
