Understand Schema Markup Types

Schema markup tells Google about your content type. Common types: Article (blog posts), FAQ (question pages), HowTo (tutorials), Product (e-commerce), LocalBusiness (local SEO), and Organization.

Focus on schema types that trigger rich results in search: FAQ, HowTo, Product, Recipe, and Event schemas show enhanced listings.

Select Your Schema Type

Choose the schema type that matches your content. For a blog post, choose Article. For a FAQ section, choose FAQPage. For a tutorial, choose HowTo.

Fill In the Required Fields

Enter all required fields for your schema type. For Article: headline, author, date, image. For FAQ: questions and answers. For Product: name, price, availability.

Add Optional Properties

Fill in optional properties to maximize your chances of rich results. More complete schema markup generally performs better in search.

Always include an image property — Google strongly prefers schema markup with images for rich result eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON-LD?

JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is the recommended format for schema markup. It is a script you add to your HTML that search engines read.

Does schema markup improve SEO?

Schema markup does not directly improve rankings but can earn rich results (stars, FAQ accordion, images) which significantly increase click-through rates.

Which schema types trigger rich results?

FAQ, HowTo, Product, Recipe, Event, and Review schemas commonly trigger rich results. Article schema can trigger enhanced news cards.

How do I test my schema markup?

Use Google Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) or Schema.org Validator (validator.schema.org) to validate your markup.

Can I have multiple schema types on one page?

Yes. You can add multiple JSON-LD script tags to a single page. For example, an Article schema plus a FAQ schema on a blog post.
