      What if an info, like an address, is not visible in my content but I would like Google to know the address through a schema markup like the following sample? Is it ok with Google and their guidelines?

      ,

      ,

      Here's what Google says from this link https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1093493?hl=en&topic=1724124&ctx=topic though it is quite confusing for me:

      "In general, Google won't display any content in rich snippets that is not visible to human user. It can be tempting to add all the content relevant for a rich snippet in one place on the page, mark it up, and then hide the entire block of text using techniques like display:none, value-title, css etc. Don't do it! Google will ignore content that isn't visible to human users, so you should mark up the text that visitors will see on your web pages."

      Is it ok if the content is not visible to users but included in a meta tag?

      Thanks in advance!

        I don't have an exact answer, but I would stay away from it.  Remember Google wants us to create websites and an online experience for people not search bots.

          I agree with you. This is quite clear for me now after reading this Google link:
