Step 3: Add Local Business Schema for Service Blogs - Plumber, Salon, Agent

For your own service or client service - add to homepage or service page:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "RealEstateAgent",
  "name": "Lekki Homes - Your Blog Academy Homes",
  "alternateName": "Your Blog Academy Real Estate",
  "image": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/real-estate-office.jpg",
  "logo": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/logo-600x600.png",
  "description": "Top real estate agent in Lekki Phase 1. We help you find houses for rent, land for sale in Lekki, Ajah, Ikoyi. 500+ verified listings, no scam. Call for inspection.",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "12 Fola Osibo Road, Lekki Phase 1",
    "addressLocality": "Lekki",
    "addressRegion": "Lagos State",
    "postalCode": "105102",
    "addressCountry": "NG"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": "6.4412",
    "longitude": "3.4745"
  },
  "telephone": "+2348012345678",
  "email": "homes@yourblog.blogspot.com",
  "url": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/p/real-estate-lekki.html",
  "priceRange": "₦₦",
  "openingHoursSpecification": [
    {
      "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification",
      "dayOfWeek": ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"],
      "opens": "08:00",
      "closes": "18:00"
    }
  ],
  "aggregateRating": {
    "@type": "AggregateRating",
    "ratingValue": "4.8",
    "reviewCount": "127",
    "bestRating": "5",
    "worstRating": "1"
  },
  "sameAs": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/yourrealestatepage",
    "https://www.instagram.com/yourrealestatepage"
  ],
  "areaServed": [
    {
      "@type": "City",
      "name": "Lekki"
    },
    {
      "@type": "City",
      "name": "Ajah"
    },
    {
      "@type": "City",
      "name": "Ikoyi"
    }
  ],
  "hasOfferCatalog": {
    "@type": "OfferCatalog",
    "name": "Property Listings",
    "itemListElement": [
      {
        "@type": "Offer",
        "itemOffered": {
          "@type": "SingleFamilyResidence",
          "name": "2 Bedroom for Rent Lekki"
        },
        "price": "2500000",
        "priceCurrency": "NGN"
      }
    ]
  }
}
</script>

Change @type for other businesses: Plumber, HairSalon, Restaurant, AutoRepair, Dentist, LocalBusiness generic.

Step 4: Get Latitude/Longitude for Any Location - 30 Sec Method

  1. Go to maps.google.com → Search "Lekki Phase 1" → Right-click exact house location → Click coordinates (6.4412, 3.4745) → Copy
  2. Paste into geo latitude/longitude in Schema
  3. Without geo, you won't rank in Map Pack

Step 5: Visible Listing Box That Matches Schema - High Conversion

<div style="border:2px solid #e8eaed;border-radius:16px;overflow:hidden;margin:20px 0;background:#fff;">
<img src="https://yourblog.blogspot.com/lekki-flat-exterior.jpg" alt="2 Bedroom Lekki" style="width:100%;height:220px;object-fit:cover;" />
<div style="padding:20px;">
<div style="display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;">
<h3 style="margin:0;">2 Bedroom Flat - Lekki Phase 1</h3>
<span style="background:#34a853;color:#fff;padding:5px 12px;border-radius:20px;font-weight:bold;">₦2.5M/year</span>
</div>
<p style="color:#5f6368;font-size:14px;margin:8px 0;">📍 Fola Osibo Road, Lekki • 2 bed • 2 bath • 120sqm</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;">✓ Prepaid meter ✓ POP ✓ Kitchen cabinets ✓ Water ✓ Parking • Close to Shoprite, 5 mins to gate</p>
<div style="display:flex;gap:10px;margin-top:15px;">
<a href="tel:+2348012345678" style="background:#1a73e8;color:#fff;padding:12px 24px;border-radius:24px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;flex:1;text-align:center;">📞 Call for Inspection</a>
<a href="https://wa.me/2348012345678?text=Hello,%20I%20saw%202%20bedroom%20in%20Lekki%20on%20your%20blog" style="background:#25D366;color:#fff;padding:12px 24px;border-radius:24px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;flex:1;text-align:center;">💬 WhatsApp</a>
</div>
<p style="font-size:11px;color:#5f6368;margin-top:10px;text-align:center;">Listed by Your Blog Academy Homes • Verified • No scam • Inspection fee ₦5k</p>
</div>
</div>

Step 6: Test Local Schema + Rank in Lagos

  1. Rich Results Test: search.google.com/test/rich-results → Enter house post URL → Should show Real Estate Listing valid (may not show preview but Schema valid in code)
  2. Schema Validator: validator.schema.org → Check address has addressLocality Lekki, addressCountry NG, geo lat/long present
  3. Google Business Profile: business.google.com → Create free profile with SAME name, address, phone as Schema → Verify via video → Link blog in website field. This + Schema = Map Pack
  4. Fix: priceCurrency: Must be NGN for Nigeria, not Naira or ₦. Price must be number without commas: 2500000 not 2,500,000
  5. Fix: No Map Pack: You need 10+ reviews on Google Business Profile + RealEstateAgent Schema + geo. Ask clients to review on Google, not blog comments

Money method to avoid AdSense ban: Don't copy listings from PropertyPro or Jiji - write original description, take your own 4 photos (even phone photos). Google penalizes duplicate real estate content. Visit house, take photos, get landlord permission. Charge agent ₦20k/month or ₦50k for sold/rented commission. One Blogger blog ranking for "houses for rent in Lekki" = ₦200k-₦500k/month in Nigeria.

Important: This is LOCAL MONEY BLOGGER - different from SEO niche. Create new Blogger blog: lekkirental.blogspot.com or yourtown + homes/services. Add 20 listings with RealEstate Schema + LocalBusiness Schema on homepage. Add WhatsApp + Call buttons. Rank in 30 days because zero competition adds Schema in local niche. Combine with Post #80 Breadcrumb: Home > Lekki > 2 Bedroom. For other services, change @type: For salon use HairSalon, for plumber use Plumber with same geo method. Add openingHours - Google shows Open now/Closed.
