I have an Internet-only business and am trying to determine which schema.org type to use: Organization or LocalBusiness.

I did some research on Google and found that LocalBusiness appears to be a subtype of Organization. For an Internet-only business, would Organization be too broad? Or should I use LocalBusiness because it's more specific?

Schema.org defines Organization as:


An organization such as a school, NGO, corporation, club, etc.


It defines LocalBusiness as:


A particular physical business or branch of an organization. Examples
of LocalBusiness include a restaurant, a particular branch of a
restaurant chain, a branch of a bank, a medical practice, a club, a
bowling alley, etc.
