How to use the Schema Markup Validator

  1. Paste a page addressTest the page type you care about: an article, a product, the home page.
  2. Read the errors firstBroken JSON and missing required fields stop the markup from working at all.
  3. Add what is worth addingRecommended fields such as author, dates and images make the item more useful to search engines and AI tools.

Why it matters

Structured data is the plain, machine-readable version of your page: who wrote it, what it costs, when it was updated. Search engines use it for rich results, and AI tools use the same facts when they decide what to quote.

Schema breaks silently. A theme update, a plugin or a missing comma can turn valid markup into nothing, and the page looks exactly the same to a human.

Questions

Does schema markup help ranking?
