Structured data that describes a page's position within the site hierarchy for search engines.
Breadcrumb markup uses the BreadcrumbList schema type to communicate the trail of parent pages leading to the current page, mirroring on-page breadcrumb navigation. Search engines can use it to display a breadcrumb path in place of the raw URL in results, clarifying site structure and improving click-through. It also reinforces internal linking and topical hierarchy, helping both crawlers and users understand how content is organised.
