Full Definition
Vehicle schema uses the Schema.org Vehicle type to annotate individual vehicle description pages (VDPs) with structured data about each unit in inventory. Properly implemented Vehicle schema tells search engines the exact year, make, model, trim, body style, mileage, price, condition, and VIN of each vehicle. This enables rich results in Google Search and improves the likelihood that AI systems cite a dealership's inventory for model-specific queries. Vehicle schema works alongside AutoDealer schema to create a complete structured data layer for dealership websites.
Why It Matters for Your Dealership
Vehicle schema enables Google to show individual units in search results with price and availability details, dramatically increasing click-through rates on VDP pages. It also helps AI systems confirm that a dealership has relevant inventory before recommending it for specific model queries.
