Google's Structured Data Guidence
If Google understands the content on your pages, we can create rich snippets—detailed information intended to help users with specific queries. For example, the snippet for a restaurant might show the average review and price range.

The Structured Data page in Webmaster Tools shows the structured information that Google was able to detect on your site.

On the Webmaster Tools home page, click the site you want.
On the Dashboard, click Search Appearance.
Click Structured Data.
The Structured Data page lists each type of structured data discovered on your site, along with the number of URLs containing each type. To see source URLs, click an item. In the Source URLs list, click a link to see the structured data Google was able to extract from that page.
