Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Why this matters

Without schema.org markup, your pages can't appear as rich results (stars, FAQs, recipes) in search.

Learn more ▾

Structured data is what unlocks rich snippets — review stars, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, breadcrumbs, etc. — that take up more SERP space and dramatically improve click-through. The schema.org vocabulary is well-documented and JSON-LD is the easiest format.

No structured data found

Structured data (JSON-LD) helps search engines understand your content better. Adding it can improve your search result appearance.

Common types include:

  • WebSite — your site identity and search box
  • Organization — your company information
  • Article — blog posts and news articles
  • Product — e-commerce product pages
  • BreadcrumbList — navigation paths

Findings

  • Missing brand name in: og:site_name, twitter:site, Organization.name
  • Add twitter:image — Twitter falls back to og:image only when it's larger than 300×157
  • twitter:card missing
  • No Organization schema — Google can't render your logo in the knowledge panel

How consistently your brand appears across channels — shared link previews, structured data, favicon, contact info.

Descriptions over 200 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.

Expected: 55–200 chars
Why this matters

og:description borderline-too-long — social platforms truncate around ~200 chars.

Source: Open Graph Protocol

The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

Why this matters

Without og:site_name, social cards omit the brand attribution — users see the post but not who published it.

Learn more ▾

og:site_name appears in the social card chrome (above the title in Facebook/LinkedIn previews). Without it, posts read as anonymous URLs. Set it to your brand name to get free attribution on every share.

Source: Open Graph Protocol

Without twitter:card, Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags. Adding it gives you more control.

Why this matters

Without twitter:card, Twitter renders posts as plain text — no preview image, no structured layout.

Learn more ▾

Twitter requires `<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">` (or summary) to render share-cards at all. Without it, links appear as raw text and engagement plummets vs cards. Twitter also falls back to og:image if twitter:image isn't set, so configure both.
