Hello, Providing relevant data to search engines is my duty as web developer. In this context, Plus codes may be inserted in a web page:
- in the <body> section, as a link to show directions to reach some place <p>Here is <a href="https://plus.codes/8FX8J423+PM"; title="Google map with the location of our office" rel="nofollow">a Google map</a> displaying our office location.</p> - in the <head> section, as a schema.org hasMap property ( https://schema.org/hasMap) for the schema.org Map type ( https://schema.org/Map) <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org";, "@type": "LocalBusiness", "description": "Some Company is a service provider based somewhere.", "name": "Some Company", "legalName": "Some Company Inc.", "vatID": "123456", "email": "mailto:i...@example.com";, "priceRange": "€50-€5000", "currenciesAccepted": "EUR", "paymentAccepted": [ "Visa", "Master Card" ], "hasMap": { "@type": "Map", "url": "https://plus.codes/8FX8J423+PM"; }, "contactPoint" : [ { "@type" : "ContactPoint", "telephone" : "+123456789", "contactType" : "customer service" } ], "foundingDate": "2000", "foundingLocation": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Somewhere" }, "containedInPlace": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Somewhere" }, "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://example.com/images/image.png";, "height": 1200, "width": 630 }, "@id": "https://example.com";, "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Some street 1", "addressLocality": "Some city", "addressRegion": "AB-CD", "postalCode": "1234", "addressCountry": "AB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 49.601781, "longitude": 6.104238 }, "url": "https://example.com";, "telephone": "+123456789", "openingHoursSpecification": [ { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday" ], "opens": "08:00", "closes": "17:00" } ] } </script> Besides these uses, a JSON-LD file is generated with an URL (for instance https://plus.codes/api?address=49.601781,6.104238&email=infeurop...@gmail.com) but the Google Structured Data Testing Tool <https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool> flags it as an *Unspecified Type*: <script type="application/ld+json"> { "plus_code": { "global_code": "8FX8J423+PM", "geometry": { "bounds": { "northeast": { "lat": 49.60187499999998, "lng": 6.104249999999979 }, "southwest": { "lat": 49.60174999999998, "lng": 6.104124999999982 } }, "location": { "lat": 49.60181249999998, "lng": 6.104187499999981 } }, "locality": {} }, "status": "OK" } </script> The homepage of the Plus codes <https://plus.codes> website mentions on its very first line that "A plus code is like *a street address for people or places that don't have one*". I know that the above examples do not enter in this category because they have a street address, but I also know that any geolocation related data is a matter of interest for Google (especially when it is provided by Google). Having said this, my question to the Plus Codes Community is the following: in a semantic web perspective, which are all the uses of the Plus codes?
