Schema Markup

Schema markup adds structured data to web pages that helps search engines 'understand' content context and meaning beyond basic HTML. This code uses standardized vocabulary from Schema.org to label different types of content like products, events, reviews, and organizations, making it easier for search engines to read and use page information.

Adding schema involves using JSON-LD, microdata, or RDFa code to pages, with JSON-LD being Google's preferred method. Schema markup works with Semantic Markup to provide clear content structure and supports Technical SEO with Structured Data Testing validation.

Schema markup can trigger Featured Snippets and rich results in search engines, though adding it does not guarantee these enhancements. This approach connects with Implementation strategies and helps search engines better understand Site Structure and content relationships.

While Schema does not directly affect organic position, it is used to help inform SERP Features that also exist on SERP pages. SERP Features can put you on the first page before organic rank puts you on the first page.

How This SEO Knowledge Base Works

The pages in this section are structured as an interconnected knowledge graph, designed to be both comprehensive and easy to navigate:

  • Self-contained - Each page fully explains its concept, with links to background reading
  • Interconnected - Internal links show you how concepts relate and naturally connect
  • Layered depth - Start with broad overviews or dive straight into specific topics
  • Visual navigation - The linkmap above shows how the SEO structure fits together
  • Information-dense - No fluff or filler, just the information you need in as few words as possible

The goal is reference content that respects your time without sacrificing depth.
