Google rich results this unlocks

BoatTerminal is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). BoatTerminal becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common BoatTerminal mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using BoatTerminal for a marina

    Wrong
    BoatTerminal for a private-boat marina
    Right
    Use Marina or a bare Place for private-boat mooring; BoatTerminal for passenger facilities

    BoatTerminal is specifically a passenger facility. Marinas serve private boats and fall under a different (or generic) Place type.
