Google rich results this unlocks

ClothingStore 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). ClothingStore becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common ClothingStore 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.

01
Using ClothingStore for a shoe-only shop
Wrong
```
ClothingStore for a shoe boutique
```
Right
```
ShoeStore for shoe-first shops; ClothingStore for general apparel
```
ShoeStore is a peer subtype specifically for footwear. Using the more specific type improves local-search filtering.
