# Course Schema

Add Course structured data to your Sanity documents to enable educational content to appear in Google's course rich results.

## About Course Schema

Course schema enables educational content to appear in Google's course rich results. When properly implemented, Google can display course details such as the provider, description, and ratings directly in search results, helping learners discover your educational offerings more easily.
