Melbourne SEO Meetup: Turning SEO into Gold + Structured Data

Hi everyone

We are planning to have two talks at this event.

---------------------

**Topic:** Structured Data Explained: Everything you wish you knew about schema.org by **Peter Macinkovic**
**Time:** about 30-45 minutes.

Structured Data helps provides context and meaning to the content and data of our websites. But with competing standards, multiple implmentation methods and fragmented documentation it can be very tricky to do right.

Peter Macinkovic will go over the history of structured data standards, how it works and common gotchas that trip up most webmasters when learning how to implmenet for the first time.

He also goes over best practice, which formats to choose and how to implement on scale - regardless the platform you run.

Peter Macinkovic is a Digital Marketer and eCommerce Specialist based in Melbourne, Australia. A Former Digital Project Manager, Peter found his true calling in Digital Marketing and SEO working in-house for Kiana Beauty in the online retail sector
