Introduction to Breadcrumb
A breadcrumb is a small line of navigation text, sometimes with a graphic, that usually sits above the content and tells visitors where they are on your website. It also doubles as a set of links. Here is what one looks like and how it works as a shortcut.
A typical breadcrumb looks like Home>Product>ABCD>Checkout. That tells you that you are on the checkout page of the ABCD product. Want to go back to the Product section? Click Product and you land on that page. So a breadcrumb is a map and a quick link at the same time, which is more than most menus manage.
Importance of Breadcrumb in SEO
Breadcrumbs are also a type of structured data for Google, which means Google can read what your breadcrumb is saying about the page.
