What is schema markup and do you need it?

Schema markup is a block of code that describes your page to search engines in a standard vocabulary.

What it can do

It can make results show FAQ dropdowns, star ratings, event dates, recipe cards and breadcrumb trails.

Where to start

  • Organization for your brand.
  • Article for posts.
  • Breadcrumbs for site structure.
  • FAQ where a page really answers questions.
  • LocalBusiness if you serve a location.

What to avoid

Do not mark up content that is not visible on the page. It can lead to a manual action.
