Schema markup

Schema Markup Services That Help Search Engines and AI Tools Read Your Facts Correctly

Schema markup writes your business facts in page code that machines read directly, using JSON-LD. We add only the types your pages genuinely support, such as Organization, Service, and FAQPage, check every value against the visible page, remove duplicates added by themes and plugins, and recheck the markup whenever a page changes.

Key takeaways

Schema markup states your business facts in page code, so machines read them directly instead of guessing from sentences.
The code must match what a visitor can see, because Google's guidelines say not to mark up hidden content.
Rating markup belongs only where genuine reviews are shown on the page.
Markup is checked when it ships and rechecked every time the page it describes changes.

The schema types most businesses need

Organization or LocalBusinessWho you are, where you work, and how to contact you.
ServiceWhat you sell, stated as a distinct offer from a named provider.
FAQPageOnly for questions and answers that are visible on the same page.
Review and ratingOnly where genuine reviews are shown on the page.

Adding types your page does not support adds risk rather than value.

Which types to use

Use each schema type only when the page supports it

The right markup depends on what a page actually shows. This table is the decision guide we apply to every template.

When to use and when to avoid common schema types
Schema type	Use it when	Do not use it when
`Organization` or `LocalBusiness`	The page represents your business and its public contact details.	You would have to publish details, such as a street address, that you do not show on the page.
`Service`	The page describes a specific service you sell.	The page is a general blog post that only mentions the service.
`FAQPage`	The same questions and answers are visible on the page.	The questions exist only in the markup or on a different page.
`Person`	A real, named expert created or is responsible for the content.	The name is invented or the person had no role in the content.
`Product`	The page sells a product with a visible price and availability.	Price or availability in the markup differs from the page.
`Review` or `AggregateRating`	Genuine reviews are shown on the page.	Ratings are self written, hidden, or copied from another website.
`BreadcrumbList`	The page shows a breadcrumb trail.	The trail in the markup differs from the visible trail.

The plugin problem

Why plugin markup is rarely enough, and what we find instead

Plugins generate markup without knowing what your page says. These four problems show up in almost every review.

Duplicates from the theme and the plugin
Two sources describe the same business differently on one page, which creates conflicting facts.
FAQ markup that no longer matches
The visible questions were rewritten, and the markup still states the old ones.
Templated service descriptions
Every service page carries the same generic description, so no service is described accurately.
Details that changed and markup that did not
A new phone number, hours, or service area updated on the page but never in the code.

What a markup review finds

Real markup, not a mockup

The connected markup on this page

This is the Service markup this page publishes. View the page source to confirm it matches. Three details show how connected markup works.

provider points to one permanent organization identifier, so every service connects to the same company.
mainEntityOfPage ties the service to the page that describes it.
description repeats a sentence a visitor can read on this page, never a hidden claim.

National, B2B, SaaS, or online business

Our three published packages were built around local and service-area businesses, which is why their names say Local. National, B2B, SaaS, and online businesses are also served, and the work itself is the same: buyer questions tracked, pages improved, facts corrected, and results reported.

What changes is what the questions and pages cover, such as products, categories, comparisons, and several markets. Start with the free package fit review.

Straight answers

Schema markup questions, answered

Plain answers to the questions buyers ask most. If yours is not here, ask a strategist directly.

What is schema markup?

Schema markup is a standard way of writing your business facts in page code, using the schema.org vocabulary, so machines read them directly rather than working them out from your sentences. The useful types are usually a company or local business type, a service type, a question type, and where genuinely true, reviews, people, and articles.

Which schema types does our business need?

For most businesses a small set covers it: your company or local business, your services, your breadcrumbs, and the questions your page answers. Adding types your page does not support introduces risk rather than value, so we add only what your content genuinely justifies.

Does schema markup help with Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT?

Google states that no special structured data is required to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Accurate markup still states your facts in a machine readable form that search engines and other tools can read, which is why we keep it correct rather than presenting it as a shortcut to placement.

Our SEO plugin already adds schema. Is that enough?

Usually not. Plugin markup is generic because it cannot know what your page says, so we typically find question markup that does not match the visible questions, templated service descriptions, and duplicates from your theme. We keep what is right and correct the rest.

Can schema markup get us star ratings?

Only where genuine reviews are shown on the page. Rating markup without visible supporting reviews breaks Google's structured data guidelines and risks a manual action. We add it when it is true and refuse when it is not.

Should we use JSON-LD, microdata, or RDFa?

Google recommends JSON-LD. It lives in one block rather than being spread through the HTML, so it can be generated from the same data that displays the page and stays accurate when the design changes. We use JSON-LD for new work.

How do you validate schema markup?

We test each template in Google's Rich Results Test and the Schema Markup Validator, then compare every marked up value with the visible page. Markup ships only when it parses without errors and every fact it states can be seen by a visitor.

What happens if our schema markup has errors?

Markup with errors can be ignored, and Google Search Console reports structured data issues for the types it supports. Nothing visibly breaks on the page, which is why errors often go unnoticed for months. Monthly rechecks catch them.

Does schema markup need ongoing maintenance?

Yes. Every content edit, service change, and redesign can break the match between code and page, and nothing visibly fails when it drifts. That is why checking is included monthly rather than sold as a one time job.

How much do schema markup services cost?

Schema markup is included in every package at $799, $1,500, or $3,500 per month, with the number of pages and the range of types increasing at each level.
