Use structured data markup on your public website to indicate the preferred name you want Google to display in Search results. You can also provide more than one possible name for your site, and let Google Search algorithms choose between them.

Be reasonbly similar to your domain name. Be a natural name used to refer to the site, such as "Magmodules," rather than "Magmodules, Inc.". Be unique to your site and not used by some other site not be a misleading description of your site.

 

1. Schema: Sitelinks Search Box
An improved search box within the search results. When shown, it will make it easier for users to reach specific content on your site, directly through your own site-search pages. You can easily choose to enable or disable this feature.  

The breadcrumb trail is a set of links (breadcrumbs) that can help a user understand and navigate your site's hierarchy, like this: Yourstore › Books › Authors › Stephen King. When you activate the Breadcrumb, Google can use it to understand and present the information on your pages in our search results.

Since June 2011, several major search engines have been collaborating on a common data vocabulary called schema.org but now Google also support the RDF (Resource Description Framework) markup which is a new standard and published the principle of linked data. It's also possible to use the JSON breadcrumb markup for your Breadcrumbs.

You can replace the home title by adding a custom one, you can leave this empty to use the default value.

Note: Please keep in mind that activating the detailed breadcrumbs may have a negative influence on your performance as the category levels has to be indexed.      .

Use corporate contact markup on your official website to add your company's contact information to the Google Knowledge panel.
In some searches, for example when a user enters your company’s name into the Search bar, this details will be shown. 

Add your contact information with a valid telephone number with the right services.
Add Social Links to get the right social media links in your Organization Markup.

Google supports reviews and ratings for a wide range of schema.org types, including businesses, products, and different creative works.

Generate Rich Snippets for your Blog Postings when your using the AheadWorks Blog extension. 
Used images as Blogpost image or the Publisher Logo should be raster, such as .jpg, .png, or .gif, not vector, such as .svg. 

Blog Post Image: The BlogPosting snippet requires an image. 
We suggest you only use the BlogPosting snippets when your using a image in your Blog Post. The extension uses the first image in the Blogpost as reference.
As it's a required value we recommend using the Snippets only when there is an Image available. This image should be at least 696 pixels wide.

Publisher Logo URL: The BlogPosting snippets requires an publisher logo.
Be exactly 60px high (preferred), or exactly 600px wide. For example, 450x45px would not be acceptable, even though it fits in the 600x60px rectangle.
Logos with a solid background should include 6px minimum padding around the wordmark. Use full wordmark or full logo; not an icon.
