Easy Schema for Local Business

I'm trying to add Schema Markup on my site, local business. Most sites that explain this, I cannot understand, they give you rules but no fill-in-the-blank code. When I found a site that I could understand, the code was incorrect and google structured data testing tool gave many errors.

Question: Is there a site that makes this easy but also gets it correct? I'm not a web designer, I'm just building up my company and getting into SEO and realized this was something I have to do..but either it's too complicated (just rules, no examples) or it does not work.

The following code I got from Moz, but google says it's basically all invalid when tested. NOTE: I removed my business info to post here but it has been included in the tests.

Code:
<div itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/LocalBusiness”>

   <span itemprop=”name”>business name </span>

   <div itemprop=”address” itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/PostalAddress”>

     <span itemprop=”streetAddress”>street address </span>

     <span itemprop=”addressLocality”>city </span>,

     <span itemprop=”addressRegion”>CA </span>

     <span itemprop=”postalCode”>92643 </span>

   </div>

   Phone: < span itemprop=”telephone”>325-468-8888 <span>

</div>

<div itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/GeoCoordinates”>

<span itemprop=”latitude”> lat here </span>

<span itemprop=”longitude”> long. here. </span>

   </div>

No, it is NOT something you HAVE to do.

What you really have to do is make sure your business information is visible on the pages of your website.

Okay but I was not asking if I had to do it or not and I still need to get this sorted out. If anyone here actually knows how to do this, please let me know.
