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

  • Brand name differs across channels — users see inconsistent identity
  • Single favicon only — add apple-touch-icon for iOS home-screen and high-DPI support
  • 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.

The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.

Why this matters

Default og:type is 'website' but the right value (article, product, profile) unlocks richer metadata fields and higher engagement.

Learn more

og:type controls which other og: fields a platform respects. og:type=article enables og:article:published_time, author, and section — surfaced in news cards. og:type=product enables price/availability fields surfaced by Pinterest and shopping integrations. Default 'website' silently disables those.
