Moving Company Schema Generator — Be the First Call on Moving Day
Generate clean JSON‑LD for moving services. Clarify address, phone, hours, service areas, and offerings (local/long‑distance, packing) to boost local visibility and trust.
Why many moving pages underperform
Pain points we solve
- Bare snippets: competitors show hours and phone while your result looks generic.
- Coverage area (local vs long‑distance) and services (packing/storage) aren’t obvious to searchers.
- Inconsistent NAP (name, address, phone) across pages confuses maps.
- Validator warnings for address fields or `openingHours` slow updates.
How SwiftSchema helps
Solution
Our generator ensures essentials are present and correctly formatted — full address, telephone, opening hours — and encourages listing service areas and offerings in visible content.
It outputs copy‑ready JSON‑LD per location page so your markup stays consistent. Include ratings only when policy‑compliant.

What is MovingCompany structured data?
MovingCompany is the Schema.org subtype that captures relocation businesses — local movers, long-distance carriers, packing specialists, storage partners — so search engines can understand who you serve, where you operate, and which services you provide. It extends LocalBusiness with properties that matter to movers: coverage areas, fleet capabilities, packing/storage offerings, and emergency availability. When your location page publishes this schema alongside detailed copy, crawlers recognize the page as a comprehensive service guide rather than a thin directory listing.
Why movers need strong markup
- Trust signals: Customers invite movers into their homes. Publishing precise NAP data, licensing info, and real services builds credibility.
- Coverage clarity: Schema helps search engines distinguish between local-only movers and those offering interstate/overseas moves.
- Operational alignment: Multi-branch movers can keep service areas, fleet types, and contact numbers synchronized across hundreds of pages.
- Lead routing: Accurate structured data reduces calls from out-of-coverage customers, improving conversion rates and saving dispatch time.
Essential properties to capture
- name: Use the exact branch name customers see on trucks and invoices.
- address: Full PostalAddress with suite numbers. Include warehouse addresses if different from customer-facing offices.
- telephone: International format. Consider addingcontactPointentries for residential vs commercial moves.
- openingHoursSpecification: Distinguish between office hours and 24/7 dispatch availability. Use ISOHH:MMstrings.
- areaServed/serviceArea: Mention neighborhoods, cities, states, or corridors you cover. Align with on-page content.
- hasOfferCatalog/serviceType: Enumerate offerings (local moving, long-distance, packing, storage, junk removal, white-glove).
- priceRangeormakesOffer: Describe typical pricing structure (“$$$”, flat-rate, per-hour). Provide detail in copy as well.
- image: Photos of trucks, crews, or warehouses to prove legitimacy.
- sameAs: Link to BBB, DOT/FMCSA listings, Yelp, Google Business Profile.
- aggregateRating/review: Only include first-party reviews you publish on the page and comply with Google’s policies.
- founder,memberOf, orparentOrganizationif you operate under a franchise or larger brand.
Preparing mover content before generating schema
- Audit NAP data: Pull addresses, phone numbers, and hours from your CRM or dispatch system. Resolve inconsistencies with Business Profiles and DOT registrations.
- Map service areas: Document ZIPs, counties, and long-distance corridors (state-to-state routes). Include international capabilities if applicable.
- List offerings: Outline packing, unpacking, storage, specialty item handling (pianos, art), labor-only, or corporate relocation services.
- Collect licensing and insurance info: USDOT numbers, MC numbers, bonding, insurance certificates. Reference them in the page copy and schema if appropriate.
- Gather media: Photos of branded trucks, staff, and warehouse spaces. Ensure usage rights and avoid showing customer data.
- Compile reviews and testimonials: Obtain first-party quotes for the page. Decide whether to include aggregate ratings based on compliance.
- Note differentiators: Same-day moves, storage partnerships, climate-controlled facilities, eco-friendly supplies — highlight these throughout.
Implementation workflow inside SwiftSchema
- Select MovingCompany in the generator.
- Input the branch name, canonicalurl, and PostalAddress. Include suite numbers or yard addresses as needed.
- Add telephone,contactPointentries (dispatch, sales), andopeningHoursSpecification.
- Define areaServedandserviceTypeto describe coverage and offerings. Use multiple entries to show local vs long-distance services.
- Provide imageURLs,priceRange, andsameAslinks.
- Include aggregateRatingonly for verifiable, first-party review data displayed on the page.
- Export the JSON-LD and embed it on each location page. Pair it with BreadcrumbList and LocalBusiness schema (if applicable).
- Validate via the Rich Results Test.
Troubleshooting and QA
- Inconsistent service areas: If the schema lists cities not mentioned on the page (or vice versa), update both. Inconsistency confuses customers and search engines.
- Outdated contact numbers: Marketing campaigns often change phone numbers. Keep schema and page text synchronized when call tracking rotates.
- Missing licensing info: Include DOT/MC numbers in the page copy to build trust. Even if not a schema field, referencing them helps you avoid “thin content” complaints.
- Duplicate content: Multi-branch movers sometimes reuse identical copy. Add unique elements (team intros, warehouse details, local reviews) per location.
- Review policy violations: Do not mark up ratings sourced from third-party sites that forbid schema usage.
- Broken image links: Monitor your CDN and update schema if truck photos move. Replace stock imagery with real assets to avoid looking generic.
Automate QA by comparing schema properties to your central operations spreadsheet. Alerts should fire when hours, phone numbers, or service areas drift apart.
Maintenance and scaling
Moving companies evolve seasonally: summer peak hours, winter storage promotions, new trucks or depots. Build a maintenance loop:
- Update schema whenever you add service areas, launch seasonal offers, or change contact info.
- Keep lastReviewedaccurate so teams know when the page was audited.
- Maintain a master spreadsheet with branch NAP data, service offerings, and schema status. Use it to generate SwiftSchema inputs in bulk.
- Schedule quarterly audits to verify compliance with DOT regulations and Business Profile accuracy.
- When opening/sunsetting branches, update or remove schema immediately to avoid misdirected leads.
Common Errors & Fixes
- Incomplete address: provide locality, region, postal code, and country.
- Generic service descriptions: specify serviceTypeandareaServedto differentiate your offerings.
- Outdated hours/phones: sync schema with dispatch data each time operations change.
- Claiming long-distance without on-page proof: describe qualifications (fleet size, permits) if you mark up long-distance moves.
- Missing sameAs links: connect schema to GBP, BBB, and DOT listings for trust.
