Schema / Local Business

Structured data helps search engines understand your site. Fill in your business details to enable LocalBusiness schema.

These settings apply to the whole site, so a change here is visible on every page that uses the feature. Find them under Canvas > Seo, in the Schema / Local Business tab.

The tab sits in the rail on the left of the screen, with its own panel beside it:
