I'm writing structured data code for my breadcrumb and ran into a question about the position number of the item. <br />
<br />
For Seattle:<br />
1. US--&gt;2. WA---&gt;3. King County---&gt;4. Seattle &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
This is my breadcrumb for Seattle, which is in position 4. &nbsp;The numbers are not displayed to the users of course, but in the code behind for structured data, the numbers are required by Google. &nbsp;
<pre><code id="code-10-29039419-1">&quot;itemListElement&quot;: [{
    &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;ListItem&quot;,
    &quot;position&quot;: 1,</code></pre>
<br />
<br />
However Canada doesn't have counties for their cities. &nbsp;So on my Calgary page, the breadcrumb naturally will not show a &quot;county&quot; level. &nbsp;but when it comes to the structured data code behind, which is appropriate, is calgary in position 3 or position 4? &nbsp; <br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Canada--&gt;2. AB--&gt;4. Calgary &nbsp; <br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Canada --&gt;2. AB --&gt;3. Calgary<br />
<br />
<br />
Since all the US cities have the city at the fourth position, I wondered if I should &quot;skip&quot; a level for my pages on Canadian cities, but I'm not sure what the best practice is. &nbsp;Should I code my structured data to put canadian cities in position 4, or position 3?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of web content in search engines using an understanding of search engines' processes and algorithms. Also known as "natural" or "organic" search, it is distinct from paid web advertising. Performance is typically measured by testing the appearance of a website for targeted search terms, and more specifically, ranked positions in search for important keywords. Techniques focus on content optimization, technical optimization and link building.
