Funnily, Google has pushed websites to add more structured data into their html for crawling..
Seems it's used for SEO hackinge. For instance on recipes why wouldn't a site give their recipe a super high rating. Those sites are awful SEO spam adservers basically.
But business info that can be used to map seems pretty valuable to google.

- tweetle_beetle 5y agoIt's not as easy as faking metadata of 5* user ratings of your own content. If it ever was, that technique is no longer useful and likely to lead to losing rank. Google uses a subset of schema.org, validates it according to its own stricter specification and extends it in other ways. It doesn't naively consume everything you provide. For example [1] > If the Recipe structured data contains a single review, the reviewer's name must be a valid person or organization. For example, "50% off ingredients" is not a valid name for a reviewer. > Warning: If your site violates one or more of these guidelines, then Google may take manual action against it. Once you have remedied the problem, you can submit your site for reconsideration.
