Schema & SEO Audit: Master Structured Data for Rich Results

What is Schema Markup?

Schema markup (also known as structured data) is code that helps search engines understand your content better. It enables rich results like star ratings, FAQ accordions, and product cards in search results.

Why Schema Matters for SEO

  • Rich snippets: Stand out in search results
  • Higher CTR: Rich results get more clicks
  • Voice search: Better answers for voice assistants
  • Knowledge Graph: Appear in Google's knowledge panels

    • Types of Schema We Check

    Organization Schema

    Tells Google about your business:

    ``json

    {

    "@type": "Organization",

    "name": "Your Company",

    "logo": "https://example.com/logo.webp",

    "sameAs": ["social media URLs"]

    }

    `

    LocalBusiness Schema

    Essential for local SEO:

  • Business name and address
  • Opening hours
  • Phone number
  • Service area

    • Product Schema

    For e-commerce sites:

  • Price and availability
  • Reviews and ratings
  • Brand and SKU

    • Article Schema

    For content publishers:

  • Author information
  • Publication date
  • Article type

    • FAQ Schema

    Creates expandable FAQ in search results:

  • Questions and answers
  • Multiple Q&A pairs

    • Common Schema Mistakes

  • Missing required properties: Each schema type has required fields
  • Incorrect nesting: Schemas must be properly structured
  • Duplicate schemas: Conflicting markup confuses search engines
  • Invalid JSON-LD: Syntax errors break schema parsing

    • Best Practices

    Use JSON-LD Format

    Google recommends JSON-LD over microdata or RDFa:

    `html

    ``
