About

The GovernmentOrganization Schema.org type is present in the pages as structured data.

Why it's important

Implementing the Schema.org structured data to officially identify the site as representing a government organization lets bots know who owns the site and gives them structured data about the organization they can parse easily.

User stories

As a user or AI bot, I want homepages owned by government organizations to identify themselves as a government agency using the standard schema.org type definitions.

Error

(ScanGov messaging when a site fails a standard)

The homepage does not use standard schema.org code to provide information about itself as a government organization.
