Schema Markup

Why this matters

Schema turns blue links into rich results — stars, prices, FAQs, course cards — multiplying click-through rate without ranking changes.

How it works

JSON-LD <script> in the page <head> describing the page's entity. Validate with Google's Rich Results Test.

Beginner-friendly types

  • Organization — global site identity
  • LocalBusiness — name, address, hours, phone
  • Course — title, provider, description
  • Product — name, image, price, availability
  • SoftwareApplication — app name, OS, price
  • FAQPage — Q&A pairs
  • Article — headline, author, datePublished
  • Review — rating, author, item reviewed

Rule of thumb

Only mark up what is actually visible on the page. Hidden schema is a manual-action risk.
