PRACTICAL GUIDE

Review structured data before publishing

Structured data should describe what visitors can actually see. Valid JSON is only the first check.

Open Structured data ↗

Take it step by step

  1. Choose a schema type that fits the visible page.
  2. Fill fields from real content rather than invented reviews or ratings.
  3. Generate and inspect the JSON-LD.
  4. Use the relevant search-engine validation tool and check the published page.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE

A situation to try.

A real article can describe its title and actual author. Do not add five-star reviews to a tool page when no such reviews exist.

Use the tool’s synthetic example first where available. The example here explains a decision; it is not a reported benchmark result.

Before you call it done.

  • Validate JSON syntax.
  • Match names and URLs with visible content.
  • Confirm eligibility rules for the desired search feature.

Know the limits.

Syntax validation does not guarantee rich results or higher rankings.

This tool’s current boundary: Review the output before using it. Your input remains on this device.

Evidence and scope

Technical source guidance and task-specific output checks. These do not establish that every file, browser or device passes.

Use the checks above on your own exported result. A source explains the format or mechanism; it is not proof that this export preserved every feature.
