What do you know about Google Action?

Google Actions are the apps that are specially designed for Google Assistant.

Brands may carry their services to Google Assistant on Google Home through the development of actions. Actions for Amazon Alexa are similar to abilities, but in a few important ways are different.

The main differences between Google’s actions and Amazon’s Alexa skills are that users must not allow an action before it can be utilized or even discovered by the user. Instead, any action can be accessed at any time.

How to enable Google Actions using Schema?

You give Google the required details to perform Google actions on that page by adding the entire and appropriate scheme markup to your pages.

It could be to provide the user with instructions on how to do something or prepare a recipe, answer questions, read news articles aloud, or play a podcast episode.

As a developer, you can build and manage pleasant and efficient interactions between users and your third-party fulfillment service using Actions on Google.

Benefits of using Schema

Schema is a way to encourage websites to learn more about the content behind search engines. It is also a requirement for sites that want Google’s wealthy results which increasingly account for the lion ‘s contribution to the search results on the first page.

The main advantage of using Schema for content is that it allows brand awareness to be increased in a format with limited opportunities for advertising.

Type of content to target using schemas

• How-to-guides

These are the guides include step-by-step text, blogs, infographics, pics, and videos that teach users how to do something. The possibilities and range of subjects are endless, regardless of how you link a bond, how you complete a DIY project, or how you cultivate a garden all year long.

How you arrange this “how-to” guide structure holds much importance? For example, while recipes are technically called “how-to” since they tell people how to make some dish, and users need to follow instructions, they are not specified in Google as a guide.

Another important thing to note is that the entire part of the content must concentrate on the instructional component rather than just one section to establish the guide to be classified as such. Furthermore, guides on how to use can’t be used to advertise your brand; they are a true piece of information for users.

• FAQ pages

For topics relating to your company or your industry in general, FAQ pages are an excellent source of knowledge. You may also use these pages to build your authority in your sector as a whole. Not only will it be useful for you to provide business-specific details including procedures, policies, product information, service information, operating times, and any other information that you can need.

• News events

Implementing a structured data scheme in your News article enables you to gain more visibility and popularity in SERPs to differentiate users visually. It would help if you created an Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMPs) schema markup to make your news content more accessible through a broad range of devices.

Whenever users search news about specific problems, Google provides them with various top-ranking choices such as carousels, thumbnails, visual articles, top stories, etc. in visual and textual format. The most recent posts are in the top places.

• Podcasts

Users can find your Podcast on their devices via Google Assistant in the Assistant Directory and play episodes. The labeling helps Podcasters to enhance their display with individual episode descriptions and a built-in player in the Google Search Results and on Google Podcasts, on their first page for each one. Another new feature, Deeper Podcast Search, enables users to search directly into the Podcast for the actual audio using Google transcripts.
